What an agreeable series The Sarah Jane Adventures is. Ostensibly aimed at kids, the show is sure enough of itself now in it's third season to have a story, The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith, with mostly just the cast and how Sarah's sudden relationship would affect them all. Of course for Tour purposes there is one major point of difference, and that being the inclusion of the Doctor himself. It was interesting to see how Tennant bounced off the kids (almost literally) and led them through. When you consider just how little of him we as fans have seen of him since July 2008, it almost makes the stories which commence on November 15th (a Sunday… really?!) a little overwhelming.

Caps and images for The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith are now online.

Also be sure to check this space in the coming week, there may just be a massive site-wide update on the way.

Pre-nup!

We're negotiating uncharted territory over here at THT Worldwide this week. What to do (other than watch of course) The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith. Never before has the Doctor appeared in one of the spin-offs before, but since in practice SJA doesn't quite fall under the purview of the site, the debate then becomes what to do with it? The answer of obvious. If the 2005 and 2007 Children in Need Specials are worthy of condieration of rthe site (which they certainly were), then The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith should also.

Therefore our promise (or Prenup as the title implies) will be to cover this story in the same vain as any other story from Doctor Who itself. Images and caps will be posted over Halloween weekend.

For a traditionally slow time of year, the hits just keep on coming. The release of a second trailer for The Waters of Mars gives us a chance to do something we haven't done for a while, post caps for not only the first trailer, a brief portion of which ran at the end of Planet of the Dead in April. The second, longer trailer coincided with the Doctor Who panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2009. As of November 16th, 2009, now that The Waters of Mars has aired these trailer caps have been withdrawn.

So here we are… quite late, but full of excitement for the resumption of production on a new Doctor Who season. Here at the Tour we mark the occasion with a long, LONG overdue site update (actually a more of a confession digression.. the update has been posted for a while but we've been working on other site improvements) . This update, while largely focused on Tennant and Eccleston, touches every corner of the site. Check out The Master List for a complete overview.

We've also been at work burrowing away finding images for the 5th season, and normally don't post production images until after a story airs, but c'mon… These are the first images for the new crew, and we've assembled 325 images for their first few days on the job in this gallery. It would be restating the obvious that there are spoilers (an especially appropriate term) to be discovered in going through these images. But that won't stop you, will it?

As for the new look, we quite like the 1950's Ivy League graduate student vibe going on. One which, if it holds, should also provide enough variation to wear well with the public. The Tardis shell looks brand spankin' new and quite consciously harkens back to the 1960's in design touches.

This Tour update raises the overall image count to 69,200 — a 3500 image bump — with many, many other pix being improved upon, so jump on in and enjoy the pix.

… and no we're not referring to the current Tardis occupant, rather it's the nagging feeling that we're missing something. It's rhythm, or rather the rhythm of a season unfolding before our eyes, week to week. The anticipation of the next story, reaction to the last and, at least during the RTD era, the shaping of what the season is building up to, is all but gone.

I suppose it couldn't help be otherwise, and so this is what a "gap year" is truly all about… the lack of anticipation. If there had been a full season in wing now, we would (as of this writing) be two to four episodes in already. Planet of the Dead felt like a season opener (an overlong season opener) in tone and content, but it's hard to work yourself up for The Waters of Mars 6+ months out.

Still if fandom survived 16+ years with only one televised story to chew on, six months is a breeze.

The Season-o-Specials for 2009 begins with the fun, interesting, but all-too-forgettable Planet of the Dead. By now, at least during the RTD era, the pattern for 'Holiday' Specials should be very clear. Big, expansive entertainments have been the norm, although it must be said the plots don't always hang to well upon reflection.

The update to the site this time around confines itself solely to Planet of the Dead, and we should apologize somewhat for the lateness in getting images related to the story up on the site as there we've been experiencing some significant server issues inconveniently coalescing around the weekend premiere. We wanted to wait until everything was pulled back together before announcing the update.

One thing the THT Brain Wizards are particularly excited about is the move to HD production for the show which in turn means the introduction of higher-quality HD caps (resized down slightly to conform to the necessities of managing the site),

Images and caps for Planet of the Dead are now online.
