New Who and The Count Down to the 50th

March 30th 2013 marked the return of Doctor Who to BBC.  The Bells of Saint John was an amazing episode.  The kick of to the second half of Series Seven was amazing.  The Doctor has had his down time he has mourned the lose of the ponds but like any other addict..... he has replaced his addiction to Amy with the new girl Clara Oswald the twice dead girl.  Interesting fact about the character of Clara.  Clara's birthday is the same day as the anniversary date. And her second death date to her second birthdate makes her exactly as old as Doctor Who was when it was initially cancelled (1989 -1963 = 26).  Could Steven Moffet be trolling us again.  Moffet does tend to get off on trolling his viewers just to let you know :) .

March's Count Down to the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who brought us the Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) His start and the following episode.  Three was a more action based Doctor than his predecessors he was as Steve Moffet describes him A James Bondized Doctor. Meaning he was very tech heavy and not past getting his hands dirty in a fight showing off martial skills not present in the prior doctors.  Three for those of you who do not know, was trapped on earth by the Time Lords following a Trial on Gallifrey where the Doctor was forced to Regenerate to pay for his crime of breaking the first law (Not meddling in the affairs of other races as it could rewrite their histories.).  Three was partnered with U.N.I.T an earth based group tasked with defending the earth.  Much like Torchwood but more military based in order and structure.

This month in April.  Be prepared for Tom Baker as the 4th Doctor and one of his specials :)

Edit as news is becoming more and more clear for the 50th anniversary

David Tennant has been confirmed as a guest star for the 50th Anniversary, him and 9 and 10's companion Rose has also been confirmed.  Rumors still circulate that nine will be there as will eight.  I am so hoping eight comes along for the ride
