Yep, Russell T Davies, executive producer of Doctor Who, is stepping down. But not until after the proposed two hour specials planned for next year instead of a full season.

And will David Tennant go at the same time? I would think so. Actually I’d expect him to go at the end of this season but it makes more sense his leaving with Davies. That gives the new guy a fresh start.

And who is this new guy? Why none other than Steven Moffat, writer of Press Gang, Jekyll, Coupling and several really good Doctor Who stories. I’m hoping he’ll bring a fresh feel to the series.

Not that it needs it, but it would be good for the series to be a bit, well, tougher. Sometimes it feels like the current stuff although good, doesn’t really go anywhere particularly quickly, or it is just me?

Anyway, interesting times with Davies and Tennant going with Moffat and a potential new Doctor on the horizon.

Best line: “It’s like when you go to a wedding, you feel like an idiot on the way but when you get there everyone’s wearing a fez…”

It’s a BBC Three pilot for a new comedy series about obsessive fans of a series of novels about a teen hero called Delta Dempsey.  I laughed and laughed and laughed.

I know people just like them, bless ‘em, and I suffer my own special obsessions so I understand how it works…

So far it has only been the pilot but it’s brilliant.  The two female fans desperately wanting to get involved, the borderline insane Scots lad (calling himself Guantanamo Ray) who hates what’s happening with the film adaptation and the two lads with no interest in the books but with a couple of tickets for the advanced screening who are there for the booze and the ladies..

It’s well worth a watch.

It’s available on the BBC iPlayer here for the next 6 days.

As much as my passion for Star Wars has flagged in recent years, I couldn’t help but get excited for this:

Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Hmm, nice.

The lovely people at Newsarama have a trailer handy here.

(Oh, and I know this is meant to be my writing/creative blog and regular posts have been short on the ground. Bear with me, that’s going to change soon. And for the better…)
