I got a text from my brother this morning...

...and it was a pleasant surprise. Apparently one of the uncredited costume designers who worked on the Autons in The Pandorica Opens has come up from Cardiff to stay with his house mate and has been chatting to him a bit about Series 6.

Of course my brother is a huge fan of the show as well and dropped me a text straight away!
He says the guy is a reliable source of information and...has apparently been designing the dress for River Song's grandaughter Susan Foreman!!!!!! And apparently it is all to do with a 'game-changing mid season cliffhanger...'
It might also explain why there were several William Hartnell cameo appearances in Series 5...maybe Moffat is trying to jog older viewers' memories and inspire younger kids to check out the old episodes so that they know who Susan is.

I AM BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS IF THIS TRUE AND NOT MERE FAN-WANK!!!!!!!!

I will be posting more information and news as it comes! Peace.

I WANT TO LICK THE NEW DALEKS!

Why all the hate? I have noticed recently that pretty much everyone on the forums hates the new look Daleks...apart from me! I am a huge fan of the Cushing Movie Daleks and so of course I am going to love these. Victory of the Daleks and City of the Daleks were dreams come true for me, certainly the highlights of Series 5! They make me feel like a kid again....glowing, bright coloured Daleks - just the way I remember them as a kid.

Yes, I am an odd fan in every respect - I love The Web Planet and The Dominators, which a lot of fans would put at the bottom of their lists. So sue me! I love the new Daleks!!! I am happy and content with the whole of Series 5 in a way that I never got during the RTD era. I feel like that 7 year old boy again...taking the weekly trip to W H Smith's to buy the latest Target novel.



Moffat's Daleks have my seal of approval - I will certainly be buying lots of Dalek toys this Christmas, something that I haven't done since I was little when I used to collect the Dapol toys. I am sold - these new Daleks are the master race from Skaro! Roll on Series 6. More Daleks please!

Want to buy me a stocking filler this Christmas? Then mine is a bright red Dalek drone please!

From my sketchbook...

A couple of doodles I did yesterday...there will be more to come soon! I am in the process of submitting some of my artwork to various fanzines. Let me know if you are interested in my work, mainly small black & white sketches. Keep checking back!

10 good reasons why The Web Planet rocks!

I know most of fandom loathes it, but after viewing it *twice* the other week, I decided that I absolutely cherish and adore this story, perhaps even more so than The Chase - which was my favourite Season 2 story. Okay, let's get down to business but keep it simple...

1) The planet Vortis looks wonderful. Seriously - the set design here is magnificent. Lots of thought and imagination here, this was the first time the show had ventured into the territory of pure science fiction/fantasy on another world. And this was all done on such a low budget too! It is a very alien world, this is by far the most psychedelic episode of the 1960s!

2) The Zarbi - giant alien ants, 'nuff said...

3) Venom Grubs - my dad remembered seeing this episode when it aired as a kid and being terrified of them! How cool is that??!

4) Atmospheric Density Jackets (or ADJs) are a neat idea. Who needs oxygen bubbles around the TARDIS? Pffft - these wonderful contraptions allow you to roam and explore the surfaces of planets where there is no breathable air.

5) Thankfully no-one needs to take Aspirin in the 25th Century!

6) The Menoptra invasion force on strings.

7) The Optera are quite amusing to watch - hey don't mock, it was only a kids' show!!!

8) Zombo the Zarbi - 'nuff said... ;-)

9) The Animus - what a strange and dark alien intelligence... GOT GOLD? Hehe. According to Russell T Davies, the 'Greater Animus' perished in the Time War.

10) Oh, I nearly forgot the best scene of them all - the one where the Zarbi runs straight into the camera!!! Love it... ;-)

A few changes...

This blog will be undergoing a major revamp this week - no longer will we be publishing under the title The Hand of Omega as we will know be known as The Time Destructor instead. Please update your bookmarks and note the new URL, thanks! Peace.
