The Doctor Who F.A.N. Project presents the fourth episode in our fiction series, Doctor Who: Power of the Heart.


‘A Voyage To Nowhere’
Part Two: The Domino Effect

The Doctor and Maddy Ramos have been separated and while he investigates the copper ship Tin-Vagabond, Maddy finds herself discovering far more than she would like. A young girl called Molly knows more than she's telling, yet becomes the one person who can recover Maddy once a plan has gone horribly wrong.

A mysterious force lurks inside the ship's shadows and steam, but can The Doctor and Maddy save the ship's refugee passengers from the terror within the walls before it is too late? Only time will tell. There’s a conspiracy being plotted, and somebody is digging it up, but not the TARDIS duo…

The Doctor Who F.A.N. Project brings you Part Two of the second story featuring The Tenth Doctor (as played by David Tennant) and original companion Maddy Ramos.

articleimageTV_008

BBC Worldwide today announced the official opening date for their multi-award winning attraction the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff, the home of the BBC One show. Doors will open to the public on the 20th July 2012 with tickets going on sale at 10AMon the 14th June 2012.  Paula Al-Lach, Head of Exhibitions and Events at BBC Worldwide formally accepted the keys to the Experience’s distinctive new home in Cardiff Bay this afternoon and the first exhibits are already being moved in.

Philip Murphy, Managing Director of BBC Worldwide Live Events said: “The Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff is going to be just minutes away from where the BBC Wales television series is made which I’m incredibly excited about. The Experience sets out to engage visitors’ imaginations from the outset immersing them in the world of Doctor Who and what better place to do this than in Cardiff the home of the show.”

The Doctor Who Experience is the first ever interactive Doctor Who exhibition that invites visitors to star in their very own Doctor Who adventure. Arriving at the venue they will step through a crack in time to become the Doctor’s companion, taking on the challenge of reuniting the Doctor with the TARDIS whilst fending off threats from some of his most fearsome foes - entering a Dalek spaceship and finding a way through a maze of Weeping Angels. Featuring a replica of the Eleventh Doctor’s TARDIS which visitors get to fly themselves the interactive walk-through culminates in a stunning 3D finale that sets the scene for fans entering the exhibition.

The exhibition presents fans with the world’s most extensive collection of original Doctor Who costumes and artefacts stretching back almost 50 years to the very first series of Doctor Who.

The content of the exhibition is updated constantly with new items from the television series to ensure it is ever changing offering fans the chance to get up close to the incredible sets, costumes and props that feature in their favourite show.  New items to be shown to the public for the first time in Cardiff include the Doctor’s cradle seen inA Good Man Goes to War; the Silence spaceship and Matt Smith’s sonic cane from Let’s Kill Hitler with many more items being kept under wraps until the doors open on 20th July.

Series 7 Premiere Confirmed

articleimageTV_017The Guardian has confirmed today that the first episode of Series 7 – which will feature every incarnation of Dalek from Doctor Who’s televisual history – will premiere at a press event at the Media Guardian Edinburgh International Television Festival. We are still awaiting confirmation of the TV broadcast date of the Dalek episode, rumoured to be called ‘Extermination of the Daleks’ or ‘Asylum […]’.

The news comes as The Guardian reports on a master class on BBC One’s Sherlock, held by Steven Moffat and his fellow writer and co-creator Mark Gatiss, as well as wife and Sherlock producer Sue Vertue. Among this, the broadsheet says, “there will be an exclusive preview screening of the first episode of the next series of Doctor Who.”

So date has yet been confirmed for the television debut of Doctor Who Series 7, other than the confirmation of Autumn, though it is thought to begin in mid-to-late November following the finale the Merlin Series 5.

A worldwide video will be available later.

New Companion Announced Tomorrow

articleimageTV_039

Fairly self-explanatory, really. The BBC have announced, only today, that tomorrow will see the much-anticipated announcement of the Eleventh Doctor’s new companion!

Meanwhile, the Daily Mirror TV editor also claims, “A BBC source has confirmed to me they will unveil new Doctor Who assistant tomorrow. She is ‘pretty’ but ‘not household name’.”

As per usual regarding new companions, many actresses have been rumoured for the role, but seemingly none more so than one Sophia Myles (former seen playing Madame De Pompadour in Steven Moffat’s ‘The Girl In the Fireplace’). However, so far there is yet to be any real near-solid or what could be considered close to evidence for this – the rumours appeared to have arisen after The Moff urged his Twitter followers to follow Miss Myles and added, “I’ll explain later”.

I for one have not seen any other name other than Sophia Myles’ put forward more regularly, by both fans and tabloids, which must mean it’s somebody completely different, right? That’s usually the drill.

Either way, watch this space tomorrow for the exciting announcement!

Sherlock Series 3 filming star date

articleimageTV_037

Sherlock’s executive producer Beryl Vertue – as well as mother of producer Sue Vertue – has confirmed that the third series of the world-acclaimed (and super-bloody-brilliant) sleuth drama will begin filming in early 2013.

When speaking at the Nations and Regions Media conference in Salford today, Vertue added, however, that it is far too early at the moment to confirm any of the Series Three broadcast dates.

The confirmation follows recent news from Steven Moffat, who claimed “consulting criminal” Jim Moriarty will not return to the series after his vengeful suicide at the end of Series Two’s ‘The Reichenbach Fall’.

Rejoice, fellow Sherlockians and ‘SHER-locked’ folk, across the globe!
