As I mentioned in my last post, since I wasn’t able to attend the recent Gallifrey One Doctor Who convention in LA, I’m living vicariously by posting some of the great videos which Doctor Who fans at the con have been sharing with the world.

The latest two are recordings of videos they played on the convention screens, so the picture and sound quality isn’t the best. The first one is a greeting from new showrunner Steven Moffat to the fans attending the convention — this one was shared almost immediately online, unlike the second one. (Note: the first video is a Flickr video and won’t work without Flash, unfortunately. It was the only copy of the video I could find after a pretty exhaustive search)  Read full Peter Davison and Steven Moffat Videos From Gallifrey One 2010...

During the Gallifrey One convention held in Los Angeles in February of 2010, I was following the Gally discussion via the TARDIS Databanks Twitter account and noticed a lot of  mentions of this Doctor Who sketch put on during the masquerade.

I also heard a lot of people praising this guy throughout the weekend on his spectacular Brigadier Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart costume which you see featured during the skit.

Check out the full (and very funny) skit “The Unsung Hero” from the Gallifrey One Doctor Who convention in February 2010:

I wasn’t able to make it to this year’s Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles, but I lived vicariously and somewhat enviously through people tweeting during the convention weekend.

I decided I’d collect some of the videos from the con here on the TARDIS Databanks so some of the best are gathered in one place  and help others live vicariously too.

To get the ball rolling, I thought I’d share a few videos of a fan-made Dalek that was roaming the halls of the LAX Mariott. I’d love to have seen the thing up close (heck, I’d love to OWN the thing!) – it looks amazing from the videos. And clearly, the fan operating it was having a blast, too.  Read full 5 Gallifrey One Dalek Videos... (136 words, 10 images, estimated 33 secs reading time)

Rich has posted the latest page from his ongoing Third Doctor story "The Stalker of Norfolk".

I've been enjoying Rich's work since discovering The Ten Doctors comic strip a couple of years ago. He's clearly a big Doctor Who fan and he does a great job of capturing the different Doctors look and personalities.

Just found an interesting article written by Jennifer Kesler on The Hathor Legacy blog. The article is written by someone who is new to Doctor Who, and unlike most new fans, has never seen the modern series.

She decided to start with the beginning, and so has been watching the earliest episodes of the show from the 1960s (as well as a brief detour into the first of the "Dalek Movies" which are definitely not proper Doctor Who, but she caught on to this quickly).  Read full Discovering Barbara Wright via The Hathor Legacy...

A few times a year, the guys at Doctor Who: Podshock have a virtual meet-up in Second Life.

If you're not familiar with Second Life, it is a virtual world created by Linden Labs, where people can create custom "avatars" to represent themselves as they move around in a virtual world.

People spend hours and hours in this virtual world, creating virtual items from clothing to working machines, and some fans have even created a "working" TARDIS, and a reproduction of the Cardiff Bay area, adorned with Doctor Who posters, statues, and other icons from the show.  Read full Doctor Who: Podshock Second Life Meet Up February 2010 Video Intro...

Just a quick note to say to regular readers that I apologize for not updating the blog in so very long. 2009 was a pretty insane year for me, and I just couldn’t keep up with the site.

Fortunately, 2010 looks to be a very much better year for me, and I’m setting up a few things to make things easier for me to post regularly, in fact, much more often than before. I’ll be posting the latest Doctor Who news, plus links to interesting Doctor Who related articles, podcasts, and other media.  Read full Updating the Blog Again...

There's been a rumor floating around for ages that award-winning author Neil Gaiman was going to be writing a new Doctor Who episode. The rumor has finally been confirmed, and it seems he will be writing an episode for Matt Smith's second series.

Neil has been a Doctor Who fan since he was three, and after many months of deliberately vague and noncommittal statements, finally revealed "it's quite possible that I might have written an episode. And if I had, it would originally have been called "The House of Nothing". But it definitely isn't called that any more."  Read full Neil Gaiman to Write New Doctor Who Episode...
