Who gears up

The BB of C continues to ramp up the support for the imminent new season of Doctor Who, about to materialise on our screens this coming Saturday (oh yes!!!). Adverts have been running on TV and radio; yesterday I noticed on BBC radio that they were now using mini-ads, only a few seconds long, which had no dialogue, just quite simply the sound of the TARDIS - it is such a recognisable sound it is now being used as shorthand for the whole show. The Doctor Who part of the BBC's huge site has been made-over for the new season, complete with a trailer showing werewolves in Victorian Scotland, Cybermen, cat-women and Rose kissing the Doctor. It also has Tennant's new Doctor looking very assured in the role already, looking the viewer in the eye and telling them that if they go through those TARDIS doors with him 'nothing will ever be the same again.' I can't wait!
