3rd April is another historic date in Doctor Who’s mythology, as it marks the anniversary of The Eleventh Hour!
On this day back in 2010, millions of people tuned in for the Eleventh Doctor’s long awaited debut. And the rest, as they say, is history! Since then, we have accompanied him on his voyage through time and space, facing the likes of Daleks, Weeping Angels and Silurians along the way. What lies in store for him this year? As filming for Series 7 continues, it won’t be long before he’s back on our screens once more…
So, what are your favourite Eleventh Doctor era moments so far? Do you remember sitting down to watch The Eleventh Hour all those 730 days ago? Will you be having a special helping of fish fingers and custard in celebration? Share your comments below…

Karen Gillan talks about leaving Amy Pond behind in a new interview with CraveOnline, telling the website that the time “feels right” to be moving on.
“The Ponds are leaving,” she said. “I kind of had a rough idea of how long their story was going to last, so I’d known for quite some time. But it’s just so weird. I was 21 when I started, going into it wide-eyed, not knowing what was going to happen. It feels like a lifetime because so much has happened. Coming out of it, it’s exceeded my expectations.”
The actress also admits that she “didn’t really know what to expect” when she signed up for the role. She explained: “Then it just went crazy when it aired in Britain. It’s nice to be part of a show that is loved by people. It is probably not always going to be like this.”
She goes on to reveal that her favourite episode is The Eleventh Hour. “It wasn’t the first one we’d shot, but it was episode one of our time on Doctor Who,” she said. “I just think there is something magic about that episode. It is spellbinding when you watch it.”
She finishes: “Now, to be coming to the end of it, it is really sad because I have had the most brilliant time on the show. But it is time to move on and on to other things.”
If you’ve something to say about Series 7, head on over to our dedicated discussion!
Back in April, we told you that Doctor Who was included in the nominations for the 2011 Hugo Awards, and today we’re delighted to bring you the news that it won!
The Series 5 finale, The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang, won the award for ‘Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form’, so a huge congratulations to both the writer of the episodes, Steven Moffat, and their director, Toby Haynes, as well as everybody else (be it cast, crew or Dalek!) involved in them. So there’s another award to add to the collection!
The set includes River Song with a Pandorica chair and will be available to buy in Booth #3949 for $30. They have also announced that they’ll be launching a new classic series item at the event, with more details to follow shortly.
Check out the River figure below. What do you think?
In the extract, Karen seemingly confirms that we may get to see more of Amy’s parents in the new series following their return at the end of Series 5. “In this series, we’re starting to get glimpses into other aspects of Amy,” she said. “And having her parents back in her life definitely does have an effect on her. But it’s kind of a mixed effect…”
So, would you like to see more of Amy’s mum and “tiny little” dad? Let us know below!
Best of luck to the entire production team! At last year’s Cymru Awards, Doctor Who, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Advenures took home 5 awards between them. Let’s hope they have another night of success this year! We’ve got everything crossed!
