Here are a few Doctor Who<\/em> items floating around the interwebs currently…<\/p>\n

The TARDIS Console Room Gets a Facelift<\/h3>\n

A few weeks ago I mentioned that Matt Smith’s TARDIS looked brand new from the outside<\/a>.\u00a0 I even speculated whether the inside might have been updated.\u00a0 Well, rumor is the inside will be different when Matt Smith takes over.\u00a0 From io9<\/a> (and they got it from a Gallifrey Base<\/a> poster):<\/p>\n

A poster at Gallifrey Base claims to have gotten a good look inside the new TARDIS set, which we’ll see in 2010. Supposedly, the interior of the TARDIS will have two different levels, joined by a spiral staircase, and we’ll be seeing a console room, a lab area, a sitting room, a long corridor, and “numerous other little nooks and crannies.” The set is designed to be modular, so that pieces of the set can be moved around and double as other parts of the ship, when we visit other rooms inside the TARDIS.<\/p>\n

The console room itself is a shaped like a hexagon attached to a square rather than being circular, the color theme is mostly silver and gold, and the coral finish has been replaced with marble. The roundels decorating the walls are now inverted hemispheres, and while they appear throughout the set, they do not appear on every wall. The roundels have different color schemes for each room: gold in the console room, silver, gray, and blue in the lab, and brown in the sitting room.<\/p>\n

You should, of course, take this with several truckloads of grains of salt.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Doctor Who Ranks #2 on io9’s Top 100 Science Fiction\/Fantasty Shows<\/h3>\n

Last week io9<\/strong> ran a listing of what they consider to be the Top 100 Science Fiction\/Fantasy Shows<\/a> <\/strong>of all time.\u00a0 Doctor Who<\/em> came in at #2 (just behind Star Trek<\/em>).\u00a0 They described it as, “One of the most iconic shows on television – period – let alone science fiction TV”.\u00a0 That’s pretty cool!\u00a0 Additionally, while reading through the list I discovered that Terry Nation (the creator of the Daleks) worked on MacGyver<\/em>!!!\u00a0 Turns out that Nation was a producer on MacGyver<\/em> for six episodes.\u00a0 Doctor Who<\/em> & MacGyver<\/em> – two great tastes that taste great together!!!<\/p>\n
