Doctor Who *Spoilers Abound! We've lost Containment*

Not necessarily re: Doctor Who, but Neil Gaiman tweets:

On the good side I was just sent a cast list with James McAvoy, Ben. Cumberbatch, Christopher Lee, Anthony Head and Bernard Cribbins on it.

Neil Gaiman + Wilf... this has potential.

EW interviews Jenna-Louise Coleman

Back in March, executive producer Steven Moffat announced that the Doctor’s new assistant (or “companion”) would be played by Jenna-Louise Coleman and that the British actress was set to make her debut in this year’s special Christmas episode, which BBC America is screening on Dec. 25 at 9 p.m. So Who fans were taken by surprise when, this September, Coleman appeared in “Asylum of the Daleks,” the first episode of the current season of Doctor Who, which also starred the Time Lord’s now (dearly) departed companions Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill).

More bewildering still, Coleman didn’t seem to be playing the role of the Doctor’s new companion — whose name we now know to be Clara — but rather a character named Oswin Oswald who had been converted into one of the dreaded Daleks and who seemingly died at the end of the show.

In the new issue of ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, Coleman talks, exclusively, about keeping her role in “Asylum of the Daleks” a secret and when fans might get some answers with regards to the Oswin/Clara conundrum. Below, the actress, whose previous credits include the Julian Fellowes-penned Titanic miniseries, ruminates further on these subjects — as well as discussing the forthcoming Doctor Who Christmas show and revealing where Karen Gillan recommends you should eat next time you’re in, uh, Cardiff.

Karen Gillan was on The Late Late Show last night. I always forget how tall she is.

Anyways, since there are folks still watching older episodes, spoiler warning, they show a clip from the end of "The Angels Take Manhattan".

Thanks for that, she always cracks me up when she is on with Craig. Plus she is beautiful, which is nice...

My god she's gorgeous. And wow, they changed the set since last I watched Craig Ferguson.

And wow, her singing Gaelic is REALLY hot.

Woah. For some reason I jumped out of my chair but I don't remember seeing anything.

I've been tipping my screen back for an hour, is something supposed to happen? I'll try again...

I was expecting a Silence gif, but it reads as a jpeg, so I'm confused...

I didn't create the thing; I found it as a jpg.

Serious, guys, I've been at it for two hours straight, what's it supposed to do?

It doesn't do anything, I don't understand what it is supposed to mean or have in connection with Doctor Who.

It's morning already?! How did I get these marks all over my arms?

Many flatscreen monitors have distorted contrast and/or colors are extreme viewing angles. This pic has colors that are so close that they're not distinguishable until the contrast is warped. It's not animated or anything. If you can't see anything, try looking at the monitor from a larger angle.

It's visible on my display normally, presumably because I spent a while calibrating my monitor. If you can't see it at all, try reducing your gamma; if your gamma is set too high it'll clip the highlights and it'll all just become white at any angle.

Having incorrect settings may also make other stuff look bad/wrong. Think about calibrating your display, if you care about this sort of thing.

I stood up and looked down at the monitor from a high angle and it worked. Creepy.

Man, anyone else getting a slight case of Deja Vu..

I don't understand what everyone is talking about!

Hmm... Am I out of breath? Have we been running?

BBC's website has a "Doctor Who Adventure Calendar", counting down to the Christmas special.

So far they have a 2 minute interview with Jenna-Louise Coleman, new desktop wallpaper, and a clip with Steven Moffat talking about the very first introduction of the Daleks.

Cross post from the self- indulgent parent thread, cos I am really self-indulgent:

These Doctors are definitely getting younger.

Well this album from imgur doesn't seem to want to work. It is a good picture of the doctor morphing into the next incarnation.

Let me see if I can just post the link and you can go there
