doctor-who-series-7-part-one-blu-rayThe first half of Doctor Who Series Seven is collected here including The Doctor‘s (Matt Smith) final farewell to Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill), dinosaurs on spaceships, a cyborg assassin in the Old West, an invasion of mysterious black cubes, the introduction of Mark Williams as Rory’s father, and an entire planet of insane Daleks which teases the future introduction of Jenna-Louise Coleman as The Doctor’s new companion in this year’s Christmas episode.

Centered around single one-off episodes rather than an ongoing story arc, these episodes get the season off to a good start (even if the western episode is a little flat), before returning the Weeping Angels to their original glory and saying a tearful farewell to the Ponds. “Dinosaurs on a Spaceship” is the real stand-out among the set which feels very much like a throwback to Doctor Who‘s old Douglas Adams days complete with an absurd premise and pair of quarreling robots.

Doctor Who – Time War

Using existing Doctor Who footage, Tardeselliot Productions is putting together a version of the much discussed but never shown Time War which took place before Doctor Who‘s return to television in 2005. “Time War” will star Paul McGann and Andrew Merkelback as the Eighth Doctor, Christopher Eccleston and Peter Walsh as the Ninth Doctor, Timothy Dalton as Rassilon, Lalla Ward as Romana, Colin Baker as Commander Maxil, Louise Jameson as Leela, and John Leeson as the voice of (my favorite companion) K-9.

A final scene was storyboarded for Doctor Who‘s mid-season finale “The Angels Take Manhattan” in which Rory (Arthur Darvill) offered a final goodbye to his father (Mark Williams). Although the scene was never shot, Darvill did record the narration and the good folks at the BBC have put it together with the storyboards to give us a look at what the final scene would have looked like.
