The Runaway Bride - the 2006 Doctor Who Christmas Episode - was being filmed in Cardiff in 30C heat recently. You can read more about it here.

Well, with so many people visiting SylvesterMcCoy.com recently, bandwidth was exceeded, for the first time ever. So many thanks to everyone around the world who checked out the site.

Now that this has happened, the site will be offline until the 1st August. So that gives me a chance to reduce the size of some of the pictures! This is a real bummer as I'm sure this is going to affect the sites rankings in search engines. :(

In any case I'll add some news to the blog here. And there's plenty!

This page contains a lot of information on Freema Agyeman and Martha Jones and will be updated with more information as it comes to hand.

Hope you find it helpful!

The BBC have put up a companion announcement here

Welcome Freema Agyeman to Doctor Who. Welcome Martha Jones. So how many Smith and Jones jokes are there going to be now?
Here's the link to the article. She sounds like a fascinating woman.

Yes it's true. Even though Freema played Adeola in Army of Ghosts, and gets killed pretty quickly for her troubles, she returns in series 3 as Martha Jones and joins the TARDIS. Contrary to other reports she is not in the Christmas special.

News outlets are reporting this as the first black companion in the TARDIS but Mickey took that honour. Perhaps this is the first continuous black companion in the TARDIS.

In any case, congratulations Freema. I will definitely be looking forward to seeing her in the new stories and have my eyes glued to the screen... for the excellent plots and acting, of course! :p

Well, what an episode! And so many rumours denounced. The ghosts from Unquiet Dead have nothing to do with it. The creatures that the Cybermen form an alliance with are totally unexpected. Adeola, the character some news outlets were promoting as a possible companion, dies pretty quickly in the episode so, maybe she won't, unless she's another character. But I'll talk more in detail with lots of spoilers here

Here's the official BBC blurb for Doomsday:
"It's the end of an epic journey as two mighty armies wage war across the Earth, with the human race caught in the middle. But as an unstoppable terror emerges from beneath Torchwood, the Doctor faces an even greater dilemma – does saving the world mean the death of Rose Tyler?

David Tennant plays the Doctor and Billie Piper plays Rose.
