The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe

Doctor Who Christmas 2011

Hmmm… the title of this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special sounds a bit Narnia-inspired. From the trailer we posted last week, it also looks a bit Narnia-inspired, especially with that line about a “forest in a box.” That’s Claire Skinner (Outnumbered, Sense & Sensibility [2008], Lark Rise to Candleford [S1]) as the widow, and some of you may have spotted Bill Bailey (Black Books, Spaced). Christmas certainly came early for Bill Bailey, who is a lifelong fan of Doctor Who. Check out his brilliant Belgian jazz version of the Docteur Qui theme.

Colin Firth fan alert: Imagine attending the premiere and after party of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy as the guest of Mr. Firth himself. Click here to find out more about this charity auction on ebay. But time is of the essence, the bidding ends today, November 23rd, at 6 pm ET.

Christopher Eccleston shines in Lennon biopic

Christopher Eccleston in Lennon Naked

We’ve already posted Lennon Naked in the upcoming DVDs section, but we believe it deserves a bit more of a call-out. The telefilm, which covers Lennon’s final years in England, stirred a lot of buzz when the BBC aired it this summer, especially for Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who). He has already been tipped as the man to beat for the Best Actor Award in next year’s TV BAFTAs. That’s Naoko Mori (Torchwood, Absolutely Fabulous) channeling Yoko Ono. Fans of Lark Rise to Candleford will recognize Claudie Blakeley as Lennon’s first wife, Cynthia. The DVD will follow the premiere on Masterpiece this fall.

Seven Wonders of the Solar System

Brian Cox

Brian Cox is one of BBC’s rising stars, mostly for his knack for demonstrating complex concepts like time and gravity in unique and interesting ways. It also doesn’t hurt that he is, as my mother would say, “easy on the eyes.” Some of that charisma was earned in his rock star days, where as keyboardist for D:REAM, he had a top 10 UK hit. You can see him bopping around here.
