“A 50″ LED TV costs HOW much?!”
Hmm…shiny.
The Doctor is celebrating his fiftieth anniversary this very year and the isn’t being shy and retiring about giving the Galloping Gallifreyan his due.
“It also plays ‘Words With Friends’…”
Cue an monster-stuffed, action-packed anniversary special blow-out of an episode which is now to be broadcast – to those with suitable televisions from the space year 3000 – in 3D. So, yay?
Word reaches us via The Guardian – as yet unconfirmed officially by those cards-close-to-the-chest BBC folks – that this special will also be shown in cinemas, though there’s no word yet as to the extent of the release, or whether this is a 2D-to-3D conversion or your actual, native 3D experience. The prospect of cinematic “Who” goodness is quite enticing, though, isn’t it?
Your obligatory, contractually stipulated Jenna-Louise pic.
Matt Smith‘s be-quiffed visage looming large and in three dimensions? Souffle Girl winking at you from the stalls? Classic “Who” Monsters running amok?
I have a love-hate relationship with 3D – on one end, the Cameron/Paul W.S. Anderson/”How To Train Your Dragon” end of the scale, on the other, goofy conversions which bring nothing to the party. But – this? This is something that I want to be good, and that I would love to see on the biggest screen possible. Make it happen, cash-strapped, politically on the ropes, brilliant BBC!
