Doctor Who fans are being given their first glimpse of what Matt Smith looks like as the 11th Doctor, as filming for the new series gets under way in Wales.
The latest Time Lord's look has moved away from pinstripe suit and specs to include a tweed jacket, bow tie, rolled up trousers and black boots.
Matt Smith is taking over the Tardis from David Tennant, whose last episodes will be shown at the end of the year.
He's being joined by Karen Gillan, who plays his new companion Amy Pond.
Arriving on set for his first day of filming, Matt said: "I feel very privileged and proud to be part of this iconic show.
"The scripts are brilliant - I'm excited about the future and all the brilliant adventures I get to go on as the Doctor."
It's a fresh start for the hit sci-fi series as there's a new team behind the scenes too, with Steven Moffat taking over as lead writer and executive producer.
"Matt and Karen are going to be incredible," he said.
"Doctor Who is going to come alive on Saturday nights in a whole new way."
The new Doctor Who's companion is going to be called Amy and (drumroll, please) she'll have a Scottish accent!
Played by the lovely Karen Gillan, Amy will be assisting David Tennant's successor Matt Smith - who I reckon is going to be fantastic as the new Time Lord.
Rumours abound that there'll be some hot chemistry between them, just as there was with Rose and David's Doctor.
Steven Moffat, who's taking over from Russell T Davies as the show's boss, is a huge fan of the 21-year-old. He says she's "funny and clever and gorgeous and sexy.
When it’s not trying to be funny or melodramatic, the 21st Century version of Doctor Who can be downright creepy. And, it looks like outgoing executive producer Russell T. Davies is heading that way with the next 2009 special, “The Waters of Mars”.
Written by Davies with Phil Ford (Torchwood) and directed by Graeme Harper, a newly released image (right) and a preview clip from bbc1 hint that Who is returning to that well-roasted sci-fi chestnut of alien possession for the November broadcast.
“Mars” will be 2009’s second Doctor Who special as the show takes a year off from full-time production. David Tennant’s Doctor will return for a two-part farewell/regeneration story around Christmas before Matt Smith takes over the role in 2010.
Of course, that’s all contingent on whatever announcement Davies and Tennant are brining to Comic-Con in a couple weeks. Stay tuned.
Yet with the Torchwood HQ blasted wide open is the least of Jack and Co's problems. Here we go with my recap and review of Children Of Earth, Day 2.
Spoilers:Major spoilers ahead, so cover your eyes if you're a transatlantic type...
With Jack out of the way, most of the action in this episode focusses on Ianto and Gwen. Both are reeling from the attempt on their lives. It quickly becomes apparent that the government is somehow behind the attack, but Gwen still has faith in the Home Office.
She picks up Rhys and the two go on the run, heading for London in order to get the word to their Home Office contact. Along the way, Gwen proves herself to be far more capable than she's been in the last two series: she's ruthless, businesslike and an expert markswoman. Rhys, on the other hand, provides an excellent comic foil - his daft practicalities "let me hold your bag...so you have your hands free to shoot" and smuggling Gwen into a potato lorry bound for London were an excellent contrast to the severity of the situation.
They get unexpected help from Lois Habiba, a temp PA working for the nefarious John Frobisher. She tells them that Frobisher placed the kill order on Jack.
Meanwhile, Ianto is on the run. He gets a message to his sister to bring him a laptop, and the sister uses some classic Cardiff sink estate tactics to evade the people who are watching her house - sending her husband and a bunch of neighbours out to challenge them.
And while Jack doesn't get much screen time in this episode, we are shown some pretty impressive ability to regenerate from just a handful of body parts that were scavenged from the wreckage of Torchwood. It's OK when he's a skeleton, but when his tissue starts to regrow, he screams in agony. His trials become a lot worse when Agent Johnson decides to contain him...in a huge block of cement! Effective, but in no way subtle.
However, Gwen and Ianto hatch a plan to rescue Jack. Gwen and Rhys infiltrate the compound where Jack is being held, but on the verge of being captured, Ianto bursts through the wall in a forklift and makes off with concrete Jack. After eluding the agents, they tip Jack's concrete block off the edge of a quarry, freeing him. Hooray!
Elsewhere, the impending alien invasion seems to be going ahead as planned, despite the aliens foolishly asking the British government to build something for them. Haven't they read about government projects? Fortunately, this one comes in on time and presumably within budget - the aliens (the 456?) have requested a glass chamber filled with a poisonous gas.
Anyway, now that Jack and the team are reunited, we can get on with the serious business of this strange invasion. We can ask "Who are the 456?" and "Why are the British government so keen to do their bidding?" and "Why communicate via all the children on Earth?"
So many questions, looking forward to tomorrow's big episode. Roll out the red carpet for our new alien overlords...
One person who knows more than he ought is John Frobisher – Peter Capaldi exorcising In the Thick of It's Malcolm Tucker for an altogether more sinister kind of civil servant – one who was instrumental in a 1965 alien cover-up that's coming back to bite him on the ass. "Civil servants are the cockroaches of government," observes his shadowy colleague Mr Dekker, who you can tell knows even more than Frobisher. Together they named the sinister alien threat the 456 after its hailing frequency, and the prime minister is washing his hands of all responsibility. We should also keep an eye on Frobisher's marvellously named assistant Bridget Spears.
Gwen meanwhile is using her special skill of "compassion" to interrogate mental patient Timothy White, the only adult who was also channelling the 456. He's significantly traumatised by the events of 1965 to have abandoned his old identity as Celement MacDonald. Tim/Clem can smell Gwen's pregnancy, and he's been able to smell the 456 returning for months.
With a fresh crisis on the way, Torchwood needs a new medic. And with Martha dispatched on honeymoon (or Law and Order UK on the other side), it's left to Jack and Ianto to snare handsome Dr Rupesh, from the local A&E. The pair don't take long to get excited, thinking of new and intriguing ways they can school him in the ambient sexuality that's a contractual obligation of working for the Institute. I hate Rupesh almost instantly – simply because he isn't Martha – so it's some relief when he's revealed to be a sneak and a turncoat working for shadowy assassin Johnson, played by Liz May Brice (Pat Kerrigan from Bad Girls.
And after a good 50 minutes of set-up, we finally get some action. Rupesh kills Jack(OMG); Johnson plants a bomb in Jack's belly and kills Rupesh before Jack resurrects. With a whole world of trouble brewing, Jack finds the bomb through Gwen's alien ultrasound, gets the two mortals out, and goes boom, taking the expensive Hub set with him ...(OH NO)
The ratings for the Doctor Who spin-off were significantly higher than for its previous two series.
It is running for five nights this week - a move away from the old 13-episode weekly format.
But star John Barrowman complained cutting down Torchwood: Children of Earth felt like the cast was "being punished".
The show started on BBC3 in 2006 but moved to BBC1 this year. It originally had 2.4million viewers, rising to 3.7million for the second series on BBC2.
FROM THE SUN
Reports circling this morning suggest that the much-mooted Doctor Who movie could be about to be announced at the forthcoming Comic-Con in San Diego. Already we know that the Doctor Who team are sending a panel for the first time, and now the rumour is that it will be used as a platform to announce the first big screen adventure for the Time Lord in many decades. Given that Primeval has already been confirmed for a big screen adventure, there's thinking that it was only a matter of time before Doctor Who would get its chance.
It had been reported already that Russell T Davies had had meetings in America, although whether they were Who-specific or not had not been confirmed. Yet the presence of Davies and David Tennant at the Comic-Con event does indicate some smoke to his particular fire. We already know, as BBC Films had previously confirmed it, that a script for a feature film is in development, and the BBC would presumably be keen for Tennant to take on the big screen adventures, given just how popular a Doctor he's become. He, of course, has all but done filming for his small screen tenure in the role.
BleedingCool is, furthermore, reporting that director Euros Lyn - who has helmed Torchwood: Children Of Earth as well as several Who episodes - has been approached to call the shots on the movie. It suggests that the film could arrive in 2011, and that Russell T Davies would be penning the script.
We'll keep an eye on this story, obviously, and with Comic-Con kicking off on July 23rd, we suspect we haven't got long to wait to find out if it's true or not...
