Doctor Who: How Norfolk man created Dalek and Tardis sounds

12:49 PM Tukiyooo 0

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>A broken-down Sunday school piano and the key to a mother's front door were the unlikely origins to unlocking one of the most recognisable sounds in Doctor Who history. But for Brian Hodgson, a former BBC Radiophonics Workshop sound engineer, these basic items were the starting point for creating the distinctive, unearthly, sound of a Tardis - the sometimes temperamental vehicle of the Time Lords. As Doctor Who marks its 50th anniversary, Mr Hodgson, who now lives on the Norfolk Broads, remembers: 'It was quite difficult as everybody knew rockets went 'bang, whoosh' - but what does a time machine do?' 'It doesn't go up, it doesn't go down, it goes everywhere at once. The thing I had in my mind was that it should be coming and going, and very vague.' <img src="http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/71282000/jpg/_71282842_54561b3b-e794-44e2-81ac-9aa66931a5a3.jpg" width="600"/> Mr Hodgson, 75, joined the workshop in 1962 after working as an actor and stage manager. On how the Tardis should sound, he said: 'I don't know who thought of it, but we came up with the 'rending of the fabric of time and space'. I was in a cinema and in the interval I had a programme and I drew it - exactly how I wanted it to go together. 'I'd done a programme called The Survivors where we had to have the sound of a ship scraping on the rocks, and the piano sounds I'd used for that, very slowed down, seemed a good starting point. <img src="http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/71282000/jpg/_71282837_brianhodgson2_624.jpg" width="600"/> 'I got my bunch of keys out, I got my mum's front door key and scraped that up the strings. We did that several times on the bass strings on an old Sunday school piano that had been taken apart. 'So we took those and speeded them up, slowed them down and cut several of them together and started to add feedback to get that echoey sort of thing.' 'Great big bang' Mr Hodgson told BBC Radio Norfolk he remembers the Doctor Who team liked his sound of the Tardis. It had taken him three weeks to create, but it still wasn't quite right. 'They came to listen to it and said they liked it, but there was something missing - why hadn't I put a rising note in it? 'I said 'time machines don't go up, they go everywhere'. They said 'well we think it needs it'. So I put the rising note in it with loads of feedback and the Tardis was born. 'Unfortunately, I'd spent so much time on the sound of it taking off, when we were asked for it to land I only had three days to sort that out. So I literally played it backwards, again with loads of feedback on it, and put a great big bang on the end of it.' <img src="http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/71282000/jpg/_71282844_pianotardis.jpg" width="600"/> As the original sound effects creator on the programme, Mr Hodgson was also responsible for designing the dictatorial modulated tones of the Daleks, whose leader Davros was played by Norfolk's Terry Molloy for three seasons of the classic series. During his 10 years working at the workshop on Doctor Who, in addition to the Tardis, Mr Hodgson also created the sounds of invading Cybermen, the Dalek control room and the Time Lord courtroom. 'Dalek staccato' 'I'd done a voice treatment for a rather posh robot in a radio play called Sword From The Stars,' he said. 'I'd experimented with my own voice and a ring modulator and it seemed to work. So when the Dalek thing came up I thought the modulation thing will probably work as it will grate, but we needed an actor to do the voice, so we got Peter Hawkins in. <img src="http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/71169000/jpg/_71169874_71169871.jpg" width="600"/> 'Peter came up with the typical Dalek staccato and I asked him to elongate all the vowels because you only hear the modulation on the vowels. 'If you modulated the consonants they disappear and you can't hear it - so he did it on all the vowels and that became the Dalek voice.' After the Daleks appeared in the series in 1963, Mr Hodgson asked producer Verity Lambert if they could have one for the workshop. He remembers she said that they could have one after the show ended. 'We never got it of course,' he said. 'The series had been renewed.' The golden anniversary episode of Doctor Who - The Day of the Doctor, starring Norfolk's John Hurt as the War Doctor, is screened on Saturday 23 November at 19:50 GMT on BBC One.</div>

Doctor Who: On 50th anniversary, Google shares a 'Whodle' (+video)

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>Google has created an interactive platform video game that allows users to take control off all 11 iterations of Doctor Who. By Matthew Shaer / November 23, 2013 <img src="http://www.csmonitor.com/var/ezflow_site/storage/images/media/content/2013/1104-doodle/17511627-2-eng-US/1104-doodle_full_380.jpg" width="600"/> Doctor Who, the long-running British science-fiction series, is entering its 50th year on TV, and in celebration, Google has launched what's being called a 'Whodle' - a multi-level video game starring all 11 of the program's Time Lords. To launch the game, click on the play button in the center of the doodle, and select your doctor. The puzzle-platformer, which bears a passing resemblance to several classic games, will boot to life immediately. Skip to next paragraph <img src="http://www.csmonitor.com/var/ezflow_site/storage/images/media/content/csm-photo-galleries-images/in-pictures-images/2011/08/google-doodles/01evil/10583855-1-eng-US/01evil_thumbnail_90.jpg" width="600"/> Whovians should recognize a range of staples from the television show, from the Daleks and the Cybermen to TARDIS itself. 'The thing is that [Doctor Who is] a Time Lord, a time traveller, so I really wanted to get the feeling across that you could travel to different eras,' Google doodle designer Matthew Cruickshank told the Guardian this week. 'I definitely didn't want you to just play one level and that is it, I love the idea of the Doctor being able zoom around the universe.' (And yes, doodle designer is Cruickshank's real, full-time job.) As the Guardian points out, the 'Whodle' comes after extensive lobbying from the Doctor Who fanbase, including an online petition that racked up 4,000 signatures. 'Doctor Who is a show that changed my life,' one petitioner noted a month ago. 'It not only has been a way to be entertained, but it also has been a way to connect with people. Some of my greatest friends were made because of a shared passion for Doctor Who.' The very first episode of Doctor Who premiered in November of 1963 on the BBC. The protagonist was played by British actress William Hartnell, who was to remain in the role for three years, until 1966. Hartnell's Doctor was old and a little grumpy; he sometimes supported his weight with an ebony walking stick. From the BBC synopsis of the pilot: Schoolteachers Barbara Wright and Ian Chesterton become intrigued by one of their pupils, Susan Foreman, and visit her home address - a junkyard at 76 Totter's Lane - where they meet her grandfather, the Doctor. The Doctor and Susan are aliens who travel through time and space in their ship, TARDIS, which looks like an ordinary police box but actually houses a huge gleaming control room. Later, the Doctor and Susan, aided by Chesterton and Foreman, do battle with the malicious Daleks; they travel to France at the height of the Revolution, and to Mexico, where they visit with the Aztecs. Over the years, the hectic pace of the time-traveling stayed the same, but the hero changed quite a bit. In 1966, the First Doctor collapsed and returned, through a mysterious process, as the Second Doctor, played by Patrick Troughton. Troughton was replaced by Jon Pertwee; Pertwee by Tom Baker. In 1989, production on the program was officially suspended (although a less-than-totally successful movie did follow in 1996). For years, the Doctor Who franchise remained dormant, until BBC One revived the series in 2005, where it has remained ever since, to great critical and popular success. In its newest iteration, the mantle of Doctor has been donned by three separate doctors, perhaps the most beloved of which was the rubber-faced Christopher Eccleston. The 31-year-old actor Matt Smith currently plays the series' lead, although the BBC says he will end his tenure as Time Lord. His replacement? Peter Capaldi, a Scottish veteran of big-budget flicks such as 'World War Z.' 'It's been an honor to play this part, to follow the legacy of brilliant actors, and helm the TARDIS for a spell... But when ya gotta go, ya gotta go,' Mr. Smith said in June. In an appreciation on the Hero Complex blog in March, Robert Lloyd wrote that 'loss is the heart of the show' - the successive loss of one beloved character and the introduction of the next. '[I]t is a show about people who are meant to be together,' Lloyd concluded. 'And behind all the swashbuckling, the suspense, the horror and the fun, beats a tale of love and friendship and bonds that the farthest reaches of space and time cannot break.' </div>

Country superstars join together for a George Jones tribute concert

Alan Jackson performs at the George Jones Tribute - Playin' Possum: The Final No Show at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn.AP Dozens of country singers joined together for a raucous and lengthy concert on Friday night to celebrate the musical legacy of country legend George Jones. Before the Country Music Hall of Famer passed away this April at the age of 81, he had been planning a November 22 farewell concert at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville along with some guest performers. Last night the concert went ahead as planned with country's shining stars paying tribute to the 'King of Broken Hearts.' Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, George Strait, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton were among the performers who took part in the almost four hour concert. In contrast to Jones's funeral, a somber affair at the Grand Ole Opry House, this event was laced with laughter and fond memories. Country duo Big & Rich entered the stage atop riding mowers to warble 'Love Bug,' while Vince Gill sang 'Bartender's Blues,' clad in a T-shirt that read 'Sweet Pea,' the nickname Jones had bestowed upon him. After Brad Paisley sang 'The One I Loved Back Then (The Corvette Song),' The Tennessean reported that he told the audience, 'No was more generous to me than George Jones,' then adding, 'I know he's looking down at this and saying, 'Son, where's all the money goin' for this?'' The evening ended on a poignant note with Alan Jackson performing 'He Stopped Loving Her Today,' a tune he had sung at the funeral but this time he was joined by Jones's widow, Nancy for the final choruses.

'Getting On' and 'Ja'mie: Private School Girl': TV Review

5:19 AM Tukiyooo 0

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img src="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/thumbnail_medium_200/2013/11/getting_on.jpg" width="600"/>The Bottom Line Getting On is about the nurses and patients at an elder care facility -- a remake of a British series that hammers home the sad truth that aging is awful. And Ja'mie: Private School Girl is the latest Chris Lilley import that HBO has picked up, this time focusing on Lilley's least likeable character and proving the sad truth that a little bit of a purposefully annoying character goes a long way and a lot of that same character makes a half hour seem like half a century. Premieres Sunday, Nov. 24 at 10 p.m. ( Getting On) and 10:30 p.m. ( Ja'mie: Private School Girl) Stars Getting On: Laurie Metcalf, Alex Borstein, Niecy Nash, Mel Rodriguez Ja'mie: Private School Girl: Chris Lilley HBO has never been afraid to put on comedy series that aren't predictable ( Enlightened) or push the boundaries of one character's likability ( Curb Your Enthusiasm, Eastbound & Down). You could even say that HBO will put almost anything on as a comedy and hope that it will work. But the channel doesn't own a lot of blockbusters in the comedy genre. Curb has always been excellent, but there's no timetable for its return. Eastbound & Down is retiring. Veep and Girls are by far HBO's best offerings. If it can be said that HBO is willing to take a swing at just about anything, it should also be noted that making contact at a better percentage would also be nice. Its two latest offerings, premiering Sunday, are unlikely to help. Getting On is mostly a depressing and unfunny (which is more depressing) look at an eldercare facility, the people winding down their days ignominiously in said facility and a handful of people who work there. Based on the British series of the same name (which never aired in the U.S.), Getting On at once attempts to be an office comedy and at the same time a bleak look at what it means to be old and stuck in a mostly uncaring institution. Having watched the first three episodes (of only a six episode season), Getting On -- adapted by Big Love creators Mark V. Olsen and Will Scheffer -- never manages to nail what is very clearly a difficult tone to pull off. The comedy isn't particularly funny and the depressing nature of lives stalled out in eldercare purgatory makes the episodes drag out in a tediously slow fashion. Alex Borstein ( Family Guy, MadTV), plays Dawn, a longtime nurse in the field and one who fluctuates between understanding for and flimsy tolerance of the patients and of her lot at the facility. She's bringing along Didi ( Niecy Nash, Reno 911!), a newer nurse and the one presence on the show who seems real and thus is someone you'd actually want to follow. Didi is also a very sweet nurse and that attribute is a fine counterbalance to the underlying sadness that's all around her. If Getting On has one strand that I'd be willing to follow, it's finding out how long Didi can go in such a situation without turning colder or simply not being able to take it emotionally. PHOTOS: 'The Newsroom': Exclusive Photos of Aaron Sorkin and the HBO Cast Laurie Metcalf ( Roseanne, Toy Story, etc.) is Dr. Jenna James, whose disdain for the eldercare facility (the lowest part of the hospital totem pole) comes back to haunt her when a spat at the hospital finds her punished by getting sent back to oversee the eldercare group. We are meant to see in Dr. James the uncaring end of medicine as it pertains to the forgotten elderly, but Getting On doesn't even attempt to weave in the American health care situation in any meaningful way. Dr. James is just an odd bird who collects feces for a study she's hoping will make her seem more important (and the whole first-episode attempt at making elderly incontinence funny falls flat). Mel Rodriguez ( Enlisted, Community) joins the show in the second episode as the head nurse but quickly becomes another character that finds conflict almost immediately (none of the characters are given much chance to become fleshed out) and someone else it's hard to care about. Undoubtedly some people will think that Getting On is heroic or cutting edge for taking on the subject matter. But the fact is, at least in the American version, there's not only a lack of humor to the show that fails to offset its bleakness, but there's nothing in the bleakness that is making a larger point. You can see what Getting On was trying to get at, but mostly you just see it failing to get there. As opposed to Getting On, Chris Lilley has never had any problems manufacturing humor. HBO tapped his Australian series, Summer Heights High and Angry Boys, which both wonderfully showcased the Australian series creator, writer and star for an American audience. Lilley, who plays a bevy of disparate characters in his series -- like a manically creative kid putting on an entire show for the world -- returns this time with Ja'mie: Private School Girl, which takes his snotty, spoiled, mean and foul-mouthed character and gives her starring status and loads more screen time. That's the problem. Ja'mie is funnier in short, searing scenes. She was surrounded in Summer Heights High with tons of other great Lilley creations and popped from the screen when given the chance to be, well, rich and bitchy. But centering one of Lilley's most annoying characters in a series to ramble on incessantly robs the character of its past effectiveness and makes her -- and the series -- almost unbearable to watch. In this series, Ja'mie is back from her brief stay among the great unwashed and returned to the final year of queen bee status at upper crust Hillford Girls Grammar in Sydney, where she's surrounded herself with sycophants and sets out to torment everyone else while drowning in her own shallowness. Maybe a good idea on paper, but not in execution. You'd have to be the biggest of Ja'mie fans to want to watch her never stop talking for 30 minutes. That's not to say Ja'mie: Private School Girl is devoid of laughs. Of course not. Lilley is too good at what he does to not find the funny. But it worked so much more effectively when he spread himself around to disparate characters. While Ja'mie skewers the predictable targets in this new series, it's just too too much to endure her without a break. Email: Tim.Goodman@THR.com Twitter: @BastardMachine</div>

'These days I feel like I'm more centered and grounded than I've ever been,' said Hemsworth, who had a fling with Mexican actress Eiza González in September.

'I'm more comfortable in my own skin than I've ever been in my whole life,' said The Hunger Games: Catching Fire star, who broke up with fiancé Miley Cyrus in September. Hemsworth had proposed to Cyrus in 2012 after they met on the set of The Last Song in 2010. 'Over the last five years I've learned so much,' said the 23-year-old Australian-born actor, who moved to Los Angeles at 18 to take on Hollywood. 'The first few years in LA were really tough and scary, but I had to figure things out for myself.' Hemsworth's popularity jumped after he appeared in the first Hunger Games in 2012, but it was his relationship with Cyrus that generated the most publicity for him. He was unfazed by the tabloid attention, however. 'What I always keep in mind is that I know what the truth is and that's all that matters,' said the actor at a recent studio event to promote Catching Fire. ''I know I'm a good person and these days I feel like I'm more centred and grounded than I've ever been.' Hemsworth's big brother, 30-year-old Thor: The Dark World star Chris Hemsworth, applauds his sibling's thick skin. 'I am far more sensitive to that stuff and would probably take it more personally,' he told newsandtalking.blogspot.com recently. 'My No. 1 rule is don't Google yourself. But Liam can just close the door and go 'Yeah, whatever.' I admire that.' What contributes to the younger Hemsworth's calm nature? 'I read a lot of Zen books,' he said. 'And I grew up surfing, so that has always been my escape.' He also has a fondness for kick-boxing. 'But I don't fight people,' he insisted. 'It's a mental release to go and beat the (expletive) out of a bag for an hour.' Returning as Gale Hawthorne in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Hemsworth said hanging with the film's cast, especially co-star Jennifer Lawrence, helped him stay positive.

The Australian hunk moved to LA five years ago and Liam and Miley started dating a year later before officially parting ways on 16 September this year. But while Miley has alluded to the finer details of their on-off relationship, the hunky actor has remained tight-lipped - until now. Talking to the Associated Press, the 23-year-old, who's been busy travelling the world promoting Hunger Games: Catching Fire, said: 'Over the last five years I've learned so much. The first few years in LA were really tough and scary, but I had to figure things out for myself. And when Chris Hemsworth's little bro was catapulted from little-known actor to Hollywood hot property - particularly after he started dating Miley - he admits it was tough dealing with all the media attention. 'What I always keep in mind is that I know what the truth is and that's all that matters,' the star spilled. 'I know I'm a good person and these days I feel like I'm more centered and grounded than I've ever been.' <img src="http://i3.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article2201528.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/MAIN-Young-Engagements-2201528.jpg" width="600"/>The former lovebirds Hunky Mr Hemsworth also put his positivity down to Hunger Games co-star and chic-gown wearing glamazon Jennifer Lawrence. 'For a few years I went down a path where I forgot to be in the moment and enjoy the moment. 'But being around someone like Jen, who is so honest and laughs all day long, I am forced to be in the right now. I'm much happier.' So, it's confirmed. We'd really like to be BFFs with Jen and date Liam. And despite reports linking him to Mexican actress Eiza Gonzalez, hot actor Liam Hemsworth has also recently said he's single. During an interview, the brown-haired star revealed: 'I don't have a lady at the moment.' Which could be why we haven't seen him with leggy stunner Eiza since they were spotted snogging face outside her apartment just days after the new broke of him splitting from Queen twerker Miley.

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special: Everything You Need to Know!

5:50 PM Tukiyooo 0

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img src="http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20131022/rs_560x415-131122134756-1024.Matt-Smith-David-Tennant-John-Hurt.jl.112213_copy.jpg" width="600"/> BBC AMERICA <img src="http://www.eonline.com/static/columnists/bricks/watch_with_kristin.jpg" width="600"/> To many of us, Doctor Who is a giant, overwhelming phenomenon with one of the most insanely passionate, generation-spanning fanbases in the world. Currently, that fanbase is freaking out about the fact that the show is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a special that is being simulcast around the world tomorrow, Nov. 23, exactly fifty years after it debuted. It's not often that a TV show gets to celebrate its 50th anniversary-even The Simpsons is 25 years away from that milestone-so we can understand why, if you're not a fan, you might be feeling a little left out of all the parties, the references, and the fictional-character-related anxiety. So, while we're not by any means experts (we admit it-we've only really watched the reboot), we've prepared a comprehensive guide to hopping on the Whovian bandwagon at the last minute, even if it's just for one glorious day. Get ready because it's going to be quite a ride. Allons-y! (Spoilers ahead, obviously.) PHOTOS: The Most Shocking Deaths in Recent TV History <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4c0e1cc6d842c99d408a551e85b4fd2d/tumblr_mwanovCIP51qim42vo1_r3_250.gif" width="600"/> According to the BBC's official synopsis, the special brings the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors together on their greatest adventure: In 2013, something terrible is awakening in London's National Gallery; in 1562, a murderous plot is afoot in Elizabethan England; and somewhere in space an ancient battle reaches its devastating conclusion. All of reality is at stake as the Doctor's own dangerous past comes back to haunt him. Things To Know: Doctor Who chronicles the adventures of an alien who can travel anywhere in space and/or time. It premiered on November 23rd, 1963 on the BBC. It ran for 26 seasons until 1989. There was one film in 1996, and then the series was rebooted in 2005 with Russell T. Davies as the showrunner. Steven Moffat took over for Davies as showrunner in 2010. He also runs Sherlock. People both hate and love him. He's infuriating for a lot of the fans, and many just refer to him as 'Moffat,' often in anger. The Doctor is what the alien is called. He looks like a human, has two hearts and he's from the planet Gallifrey. Never ever call him Doctor Who. People will get mad. You can refer to different Doctors by their number in the sequence (1-12). He might have a name, but it's a big, big secret. The Doctor can regenerate, so he never actually dies. He just turns into a different person. This has happened 12(ish) times. <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/1fb0904fc342da6132256d95c6dca30c/tumblr_mw82dpzuqA1s5ju90o1_500.gif" width="600"/> The TARDIS is the Doctor's spaceship/time machine. It stands for 'Time And Relative Dimension In Space,' but we're not even sure what that means. It looks like an old British police telephone box. It's really, really blue, and know this: It's bigger on the inside. It has a library and a pool, at least. It's nuts. <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6a606a4aa09bc23cfd8ef35029aeabc7/tumblr_mwopkyBURF1qkjxrmo3_250.gif" width="600"/> The Sonic Screwdriver is the thing the Doctor carries around. It lights up and makes a sound, and does a variety of convenient things, like opening locks and scanning materials. However, it does not work on wood. The Doctors: William Hartnell, 1963-1966 Patrick Troughton, 1966-1969 Jon Pertwee, 1970-1974 Tom Baker, 1974-1981 (claims he will be in the special) Peter Davison, 1981-1984 Colin Baker, 1984-1986 Sylvester McCoy, 1987-1989, 1996 Paul McGann, 1996 Christopher Eccleston, 2005 David Tennant, 2005-2010 (confirmed to appear in the special) Matt Smith, 2010-present (confirmed to appear in the special) Peter Capaldi, will make his debut in this year's Christmas special <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ae90cf5bccbfac0c3d708e517d0fbff5/tumblr_mwhfc1iT9f1s1kpsco1_250.gif" width="600"/> Ten, played by David Tennant, is funny and is often running from one place to another (which totally adds to the excitement), but he is not a guy to mess with. Before he regenerated into Eleven, there was a copy made of him, known as Tentoo. He's human-ish and lives in an alternate Earth dimension with Rose. It's unclear whether it will be Tentoo or an older version of the actual Ten appearing in the special. Catchphrases: 'What? Allons-y!' <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0324503922fafbe8f3ea51ea35b44c3b/tumblr_mw3xda0MJ81rqj5qoo3_250.gif" width="600"/> Eleven, played by Matt Smith, is kind of like a big child. He's got a thing for bow-ties and hats. He's a goofball, but can get angry when he needs to. He's the current Doctor, but he's departing after this year's Christmas special. Catchphrases: 'Bow ties are cool,' 'Geronimo' <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e3e1bdfe6f261b74ea0fe0b0af44e9ff/tumblr_mw3xda0MJ81rqj5qoo1_250.gif" width="600"/> The Mystery Doctor is literally a mystery and we don't know what that's all about. Just know it's a thing, it has to do with some sort of war in between the eighth and ninth Doctors, and he's played by John Hurt. So far he's only been in the season seven finale. <img src="http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20131022/rs_560x415-131122134714-1024.Matt-Smith-Jenna-Louise-Coleman.jl.112213_copy.jpg" width="600"/> BBC AMERICA The Companions: The Doctor is usually joined on his adventures by a companion, or assistant. Usually it's a spunky young woman who acts as the audience stand-in, asking the important questions like 'Why?' and 'WTF?' There's been a lot of them over the past fifty years, but only two are confirmed to appear in the special: <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/760a7b9208f996c8685726f9887435b3/tumblr_mwhu4jvfju1r539fdo2_250.gif" width="600"/> Rose Tyler: She's played by Billie Piper. When we last saw her, she was left in an alternate dimension with a copy of Ten (Tennant). They're in love. It's unclear whether that version or an earlier version of Rose will show up in the special. <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/344390aeb925f3d71e472042a6d0ba91/tumblr_mwmtbczV4V1qim42vo1_r1_250.gif" width="600"/> Clara Oswald: She's played by Jenna Louise Coleman. She was born as a normal person in modern day, but in order to save the Doctor, she jumps into his timeline (don't ask), so that copies of her show up all over the universe, allowing her to have been secretly helping him throughout all of his adventures since the show first started...or something. She also makes soufflés. Important Villains: Daleks: Dome-shaped robot-things with a plunger and an eggbeater for arms. They yell 'exterminate' a lot. Clara possibly might have erased all knowledge of the Doctor from their memories, so they've forgotten how much they hate him for always foiling their evil plans. They shoot lasers, and they're super slow but somehow terrifying. The Cybermen: They are clunky and made of metal, and yet still really freak and scary. Writer Neil Gaiman gave them a shiny new backstory in season 7's 'Nightmare in Silver' that made them faster and way more dangerous. Zygons: The Zygons can shapeshift into pretty much any other being, but that being has to be kept alive. They were defeated by the Fourth Doctor at one point but are confirmed to be returning in the special. The Weeping Angels: They probably won't show up in the special, but we're including them because they're TERRIFYING, but also awesome. They're statues, and whenever you're not looking at them, even if you just blink, they can move around, and they can zap you back in time so you're dying by the time you're supposed to be living. They then feed off of that potential energy. Seriously: Terrifying. SCOOP: Get the latest TV dish with our Spoiler Chat How To Party: What to wear: A bowtie is always a good choice. Other options: A Fez. A cowboy hat. Suspenders. A brown pinstripe suit. A brown trench coat. That long, striped scarf worn by Four (Tom Baker). Put on a gas mask and wander around, asking everyone if they're your mummy. Trust us. It'll go over well. Hot Topic has a good selection of Doctor Who-related merchandise, including shirts and sweatshirts. You can even dress up as the TARDIS if you want. Or you can take an old shirt and paint 'Don't Blink' on it. Secure a bowl upside down on your head, hold a plunger in one hand and an eggbeater in the other and congratulations, you're a Dalek. And remember: Always bring a banana to a party. Bananas are good. (Tenth Doctor quote. Don't worry about it.) How to dance: Like this: <img src="http://31.media.tumblr.com/5dbfdced42771162fc1739dbc9c0a9d6/tumblr_mwkiddPgCm1s7igpdo1_400.gif" width="600"/><img src="http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20131022/rs_560x415-131122134117-1024.Billie-Piper-John-Hurt-Doctor-Who.jl.112213_copy.jpg" width="600"/> BBC AMERICA What To Watch: We know, you don't even have a whole day to watch endless TV in preparation for more TV, but it might be good to at least watch a couple eps. At the very least, we tried to find episodes from the recent seasons that will catch you up and/or that you can jump into without much preparation. Here's our advice-pick the few that sound the most interesting to you, and go from there. (Plus, basically all of these are on Netflix Instant or Amazon Prime. So you have no excuse!) 'The Name of the Doctor,' season 7, episode 13: This is the season 7 finale, so it's the last episode to air before the anniversary special. The Doctor visits his own grave, which contains his timeline and discovers both the reason why Clara shows up all throughout time, and a previously unseen regeneration of himself who apparently did something horrible. 'Blink,' season three, episode 10: This famous episode has nothing to do with the current storyline, but it's truly fantastic and stars Carey Mulligan as a girl who, while visiting a strange old house with her best friend, receives a letter from said best friend as an old lady, having apparently recently died. That doesn't make sense. Whatever. Just watch it. 'Human Nature' / 'The Family of Blood,' season 3, episodes 8-9: The Doctor becomes temporarily human in 1913 England in order to hide from some Time Lord-sensing evil aliens. Only Martha knows who he really is while he falls in love and lives the regular life the Doctor could never really live. Again, irrelevant, but heartbreaking. 'Asylum of the Daleks,' season 7, episode 1: Eleven and everyone's favorite married companions, Amy and Rory, get trapped on a planet full of old, rusty Daleks, and meet soufflé-baking Clara. This is Clara's first rather confusing appearance on the show. 'The Stolen Earth' / 'Journey's End,' season 4, episodes 12-13: One of David Tennant's last turns as the Doctor, this is quite a finale. Past companions come together along with the stars of two spin-offs. Rose and the Doctor-copy end up in their alternate universe, and Donna (the best) gets a heartbreaking ending. 'The Waters of Mars,' special, 2009: This special consistently lands on best episode lists. The Tenth Doctor encounters the first human colony on Mars, and tries to stop a virus that lives in water. 'The Snowmen,' special, 2012: This special marks Clara's second, equally confusing appearance, right after the Doctor's beloved Amy and Rory have been taken by the Weeping Angels. The Doctor's in mourning, but snowmen are coming to life and building themselves, so he's clearly got to snap out of it. 'Midnight,' season 4, episode 10: This has nothing to do with anything, but it's a fantastic episode nontheless, chronicling one of the few occasions when the Doctor has no idea what's going on, and is in danger of being defeated by simple humanity. Super creepy and brilliant! 'Gridlock,' season 3, episode 3: An L.A. cat person's nightmare: In this futuristic society, everyone literally lives in their cars. They can't go outside because it's so polluted they'll suffocate, and it takes about ten years to drive a mile because it's just wall-to-wall traffic. Also, there are cat people. Literal cat people. Any other Who fans should feel free to chime in with your favorite episodes, and tune into BBC America tomorrow morning at 11:50 am to see what goes down!

The One Direction hunk reportedly struck up a romance with Kendall Jenner earlier this week, but there won't be any reference to the new couple on the reality TV show as Harry's management have forbidden E! network from mentioning him in future episodes. A source told The Sun newspaper: 'Whatever happens, if the relationship develops or not, E! have been told that Harry is not to be mentioned on the programme.' The singer - who split with Taylor Swift in January before being linked to model Cara Delevingne - took Kendall, the half-sister of Kim Kardashian, to Craig's restaurant in West Hollywood on Wednesday night, before driving her home in his swanky Range Rover. However, the pair are keen to keep their blossoming romance under wraps as they don't want to go the same way as Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, who split two months after filming their wedding for the popular series. The source added: 'Harry wants to keep things as private as possible and isn't going to become part of the reality series like others in the past who have been linked to the Kardashian-Jenner clan.' - BangShowBiz <img src="http://cdn.24.co.za/files/Cms/General/d/2578/b4e19baaeede4b929f703c9338e68e41.jpg" width="600"/> </div>

Couric maps exit from ABC News

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>Couric is expected to join Yahoo! in a wide-ranging deal. Katie Couric is finalizing plans to exit ABC News. The former Today host, now in the second year of Katie, a syndicated talk show produced by the network, is negotiating an exit from a three-year deal as 'special correspondent' signed in concert with her talk-show gig. Instead, she'll sign on with Yahoo! for a web-based series, say multiple reports. The network declined comment, but an ABC News executive confirmed a report in The Hollywood Reporter late Friday on Couric's exit talks, noting the network's partnership with Yahoo! may lead to more Couric appearances. But Couric has only rarely appeared on ABC over the past year, and her talk show--which premiered with much hoopla in September 2012--has turned in disappointing ratings despite key time slots. It's widely expected to be canceled in May, though no final decision has been made. Katie is averaging 2.2 million viewers this season, down 8% from last, and is virtually tied with Steve Harvey).

Mark Wahlberg Wanted To Produce Fifty Shades Of Grey; Not Play Christian Grey

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>First Published: November 22, 2013 4:24 PM EST Credit: Getty Images LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- <img src="http://www.accesshollywood.com/image/198419/height=480/width=270/i.jpg" width="600"/>Mark Wahlberg wanted to be the one cracking the whip making sure 'Fifty Shades of Grey' hit the big screen - but not star in it. Access Hollywood caught up with the actor/producer at Thursday's Golden Globe event in West Hollywood, where he discussed how he tried to nab the movie rights to EL James' bestseller. 'What happened was we had heard about the book really early on and we were in negotiations with the writer and then for some strange reason she thought it was important to have an agent, which she should have, obviously, because she started to realize what she was on to,' he told Access. PHOTOS: Fifty Shades Of Grey Hunk Jamie Dornan 'Then of course, it created a bidding war and everything else and we lost out on an opportunity,' he continued. 'Sometimes you get 'em, sometimes you don't. It's just one of those things.' Had Mark secured the film rights, could he have seen himself in the role of Christian Grey? 'Not that I would've wanted to be in it,' he said, explaining he would not want to star in the movie. 'An old man like me?

Zach Braff Ruins Couple's Wedding Photo With Epic Photobomb

11:50 AM Tukiyooo 0

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img src="http://www.thegloss.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/zach-braff-garden-state.jpg" width="600"/>Wedding photographer Sascha Reinking was going through photos from a recent wedding when he noticed a llama-looking gentleman in all-terrain shoes smiling in the background of the coveted make-out-in-an-intersection shot. It turned out to be none other than JD Dorian Zach Braff, who was on his way to scale some rock walls and decided to enhance the photo with his epic mug. If every couple who took wedding photos smack in the middle of a busy street got photobombed by Zach Braff, I'd be totally on board with that dumb wedding trend. Braff confirmed it was in fact him, tweeting: This is one of my best photobombs ever: pic.twitter.com/LZS0TZE3JS - Zach Braff (@zachbraff) November 22, 2013 I really, inexplicably cannot stand Zach Braff, and this is causing me to have a lot of emotions. I used to lovehim because obviously Garden State changed my life in every way possible, but puberty also changed me and I no longer find myself able to tolerate him. Frances put it really well in our staff's conversation about our hatred of all things Braff, asking: 'Does anyone else just want to punch Zack Braff in the face repeatedly? I know, it's totally irrational, but he just has one of those faces to me.' He does just have one those faces. Joanna nailed it with her own question: 'Zach Braff-why are you?' Indeed. Hopefully Braff will retreat to a life of baseball cap wearing obscurity and we won't have to deal with him. Similarly, maybe everyone will shut up about their weddings for a second and we won't have to deal with that, either. And now for a personal appeal. Of all the weird, overwrought bridal poses, the making out in a crowded intersection might be my least favorite (tied with the rest of them). Please stop taking pictures in the middle of crowded streets. People have places to go, like their job or the hospital for an emergency appendectomy, and it's bad enough when some tourists stake out the whole side walk to unroll the world's biggest map and locate a side street in a different borough. But nothing is worse than trying to navigate your way around a huge dress and two people making out. Please just go get married and be happy and stay out of my intersection. Same goes for you, Braff.

Report: Josh Brolin Goes To Rehab

11:19 AM Tukiyooo 0

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img src="http://images.starpulse.com/pictures/2013/10/15/previews/Josh%20Brolin-LMK-103392.jpg" width="600"/> Actor Josh Brolin has reportedly checked into a rehab facility in Northern California to address his addiction issues. An insider told Us Weekly magazine, 'He realized he needed help and is committed to his sobriety.' Earlier this month, the 'Gangster Squad' star was involved in a brawl with a bouncer and was also video taped yelling at a cab driver after allegedly rear-ending his vehicle at a fast food drive-through window. Back in January, Brolin was arrested for public intoxication. He paid $250 bail and did not have to appear in court, as he was not given a citation for the arrest. TMZ.com caught up with the actor on Nov. 3 and asked him if he had given up alcohol as a result of his behavior, to which he responded, 'Absolutely. It won't be happening again. That's it. Completely done.' It's been a tough year for the star. Brolin and his wife of eight years, Diane Lane, quietly parted ways in late 2012 and a rep for the couple announced in February that they were splitting up. Meanwhile, Brolin stars in the upcoming horror remake ' Oldboy' about a man who is kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement. After his inexplicable release, he attempts to hunt down the individual who orchestrated his bizarre and torturous punishment. </div>
