Honk Mahfah Ranks the Doctors
by Honk Mahfah on Jul.18, 2009, under Doctor Who, Television
Okay, so I’m in a mood to make a best-of/worst-of list, and I think I’ll satisfy that urge by ranking the Doctors from, duh, Doctor Who. As always, worst to best.
Since this is sure to be controversial for any Whovian not named Honk Mahfah, let’s start off with something I’d hope we can all agree on.
That’s right, coming in in last place is the Doctor who ain’t a Doctor, but a Dr. I’m referring to Peter Cushing, who portrayed a radically different version of the character in a couple of ’60s theatrical films, Dr. Who and the Daleks and Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. Now, I’ve only seen the first of those, but based on it, I have no hesitation whatsoever in labelling Cushing’s THE worst Doctor. Intent on (poorly) playing Dr. Who — yes, that is his actual name — as a feeble old man, Cushing is obviously going for some weird brand of eccentricity that not only isn’t the Doctor we know from the series, but isn’t a satisfying or interesting character in its own right.
But enough of that. Let’s get to the real Doctors.

“Doctor Who” Moving to BBC America
by Honk Mahfah on May.28, 2009, under Doctor Who, Television
According to Variety, BBC America will begin airing first-run episodes of Doctor Who in June, starting with the 2008 Christmas special “The Next Doctor” on June 27. The Easter special, “Planet of the Dead,” will air sometime in July, and the airdate for subsequent specials will be determined once they have aired on BBC1.
BBC America will also be running the five-episode third season of Torchwood this July.
It is unclear how this will affect next year’s new season of Doctor Who starring eleventh doctor Matt Smith. Also unannounced: any American scheduling info for the already-finished second season of The Sarah Jane Adventures or its upcoming third season.
However, BBC America will be showcasing several other sci-fi/fantasy series, including Being Human (about the relationships between a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost) and Survivors (a drama about a viral apocalypse co-starring Freema Agyeman). Both shows are expected to air in July.
Tenth Doctor to Make Appearance in Spinoff
by Honk Mahfah on May.27, 2009, under Doctor Who, Television
David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor character will appear in two episodes of the spinoff The Sarah Jane Adventures during its upcoming third season, announced the BBC yesterday.
According to producer Russell T. Davies, Tennant’s appearance will be a substantial role, and not merely a cameo. The 12-episode third season begins in September in the U.K.; an American airdate has not been set (hardly a surprise, given that the second season has not yet been aired here).
The BBC also announced that it is actively developing a screenplay for a big-screen version of Doctor Who. No cast or crew details have been announced.
