#GETHECUSHIONSUNDAY! WHO IS THAT?????

#GETHECUSHIONSUNDAY! WELL...there's a shocker! Actress Jodie Whittaker has been named as the latest regeneration of DOCTOR WHO! Ok.... What do you think????

MY TWO-PENCE WORTH: ...for what it is worth.....THE WONDER FACTOR: The 'Wonder Woman' movie this year made a lot of the studios sit up and think, it was a big surprise that it was so popular and made so much at the box office. Doctor Who is no longer a nice little tv show made in the UK for just 'the fans'...it's a show with an international audience, that sells overseas. The BBC and their programmes even though financed by the license fee, MUST make a profit, and move the tastes and predicted and unpredictable favor of the viewing public, both in UK, Europe and further afield. This casting is in line, with all of those things, despite what fans, supporters, long time viewers may think, it's a business... - Marcus

#TOOCOOLTUESDAY: DRACULA MINI SERIES FANCY DRESS AND TWO GREAT DIGITS!

#TOOCOOLTUESDAY: I HAVE NEVER seen photographs of Peter Cushing judging a beauty competition, but he must have judged a few #FANCYDRESS comps in his time. This is a one that took place during the opening of #THREBRIDESOFDRACULA back in 1960. It's strange how the act of offering someone a cigarette just looks so alien these days....!

#TOOCOOLTUESDAY?: So, the guys behind the successful BBC Benedict Cumberbatch Sherlock series, are planning a whole series of gothic horrors, including DRACULA... It will be made by the BBC and syndicated to the US and others for sure. If you liked their spin on Sherlock...will you watch this? Good idea?

THE PRESS RELEASE . . 

THE SHERLOCK TEAM are reuniting on a new version of the classic horror story Dracula, RadioTimes can confirm. Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss are due to begin work on a series of BBC specials based on the classic 1897 novel by Bram Stoker in which the bloodthirsty count moves from Transylvania to England. The Corporation is finalising talks with the pair and is poised to green-light the project which is likely to air in 2019. The new Dracula series has not yet been written and Gatiss and Moffat will begin working on the scripts once they have both completed their own solo projects – details of which have not been confirmed.“It’s early days and the BBC has not seen a script yet but they are close to signing a deal for a series of 90-minute films of Dracula,” said a senior production source.“It’s not yet been decided if it will be historical or modern day or if there will be a US co-producer but the BBC are keen on this and it will happen.

WHAT NEEDS TO BE decided is how many episodes – whether there are three or five or six or whatever but they will definitely be 90-minute films. "Production is at least a year away so it will probably be on screen in 2019 at the earliest.” Gatiss has often spoken of his fondness for the Dracula story – particularly the 1958 film starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing – and even played the title role himself in a recent audio drama, but it currently seems unlikely that he will take on the part of the Count in the new version, according to sources. “Casting is a long way off but the feeling is he probably won’t – but you never know,” said a BBC source.

#TOOCOOLTUESDAY: NO NEED TO CAPTION  THIS ONE THEN?

STEVEN MOFFAT : FILM POSTERS RIGHTS PUT HALT ON CUSHING CANON DR WHO IDEA

DOCTOR WHO: MAKING THE FACE FIT

We see that BBC Dr Who producer / writer Steven Moffat and his his predecessor Russell T Davies... in their quest to make sure that all things 'Who' continuity wise and within the vast story context of the tv series tie up nicely... have been busy coming up with a credible answer as to how the Twelfth Doctor's face has already popped up twice in the Who universe... That's quite a feat, some mental gymnastics. Just goes to prove, if you really want to, you can make anything fit. And yet, they still can't justify the existence of Peter Cushing as a canon Dr / Doctor.. Who? http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2013-09-30/doctor-who-steven-moffat-has-an-explanation-for-peter-capaldis-earlier-appearances
