Miscellanious News
- Doctor Who’s American Fans Left Behind As UK Prepares for “A Good Man Goes to War” - TVOvermind
Was a hiatus really necessary? I don't think so. BBC America did so to avoid a projected drop in viewers with Memorial Day weekend -- but just how many would have disappeared? Perhaps more importantly -- just how many would have disappeared compared to how many won't come back when "The Almost People" airs next Saturday?... - PIRATES, Napoleonic War soldiers, samba bands and even a Doctor Who Dalek took to the streets of Brixham this weekend as part of the town's heritage festival. Hundreds of residents and visitors alike enjoyed the land, sea and air festivities for the 20th annual Brixham Heritage Festival.
- Steven Moffat says people need to concentrate on his shows
Speaking to The Radio Times the 49 year old writer and producer admitted that he purposely made the details of the current series intricate, adding: “Well, you have to pay attention.

There's also a teasing snippet of the behind-the-scenes interviews featured on the CD release, so, if you haven't yet caught up with the final, devastatingly dramatic season of Eighth Doctor and Lucie adventures, this is your chance to sample its delights.

Review's Roundup...
TARDIS Eruditorum has Look at How Cool This Stuff Is (The Enemy of the World), "...I am here to tell you that it is the best Doctor Who story up to this point. It is, in fact, one of the all time greats of the series. It is a criminal offense that there are people who think of this as the red-headed stepchild of season five and prefer the monster stories. This story is absolutely incredible, light years ahead of its time, and still fantastic to this day. I'm honestly at a loss for why this does not have the wild and ecstatic praise reserved for it that Marco Polo or The Massacre, both of which it runs rings around....."

Podcast Review's...
Beware most podcasts are of an adult nature and are not suitable for children.
Impossible Podcasts has The Almost People - Commentary, join us as we discuss The Almost People's many twists and turns, as the Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Rory attempt to escape the island and bring peace between humans and flesh, and face some startling discoveries of their own. We discuss everything from Roman Rory through to Moffat's alleged sexism, and of course, that cliffhanger!
Traveling the Vortex has Episode 22 – The Almost Podcast, We call this week’s episode, The Almost Podcast because some listeners will hear almost all of the show before they have to wait another week to hear our review of The Almost People. That’s right, our policy here at Traveling the Vortex is, if it’s aired in the U.K., we’re going to talk about it. So please keep that in mind when listening to this week’s show.
Say It Productions has TARDIS Chronicles 007: The Almost People, Bill and Corey try to escape the island as they review “The Almost People”. Is this an original story or just a copycat of something we’ve seen before? Also, this week they discuss the latest Who News and so much more.
The Bad Wilf podcast has Episode 30, In which Martyn and Imran look at the Almost people and Pete looks at the audioGO, The Ring Of Steel.
The Happiness Patrol has Episode 65: Cat Food Option, this week's HP has 'out-of-school-hit-the-pool-go-to-the-beach' all over it as we goof off on The Almost People.
Doctor Who - Who's He? has Episode 08: And they sent us along as a surrogate band, in the second of this weeks podcasts, the reviewing duo of Paul and Phil air their views on the latest episode The Almost People. However, all is not well in the Who's He? camp as the pair have rather differing views on this episode and run the gamut of emotions such as joy, disappointment, elation, anger, happiness, resentment and er...anger again. But they're both friends again at the end. Honest.
The 20mb Doctor Who Podcast has Episode 59, Ben gave up a little bit of his Bank Holiday golfing schedule to do the charts and give his views on this week’s penultimate episode of Doctor Who. Isabella chips in and Adam and Alicia chat about it at further length, we have eBay and then Kirby talks about the convention he attended this weekend as well as his thoughts on The Almost People and what might be coming up.
