Doctor Who Confidential Comes To An End

For the past seven years, Doctor Who Confidential has put you at the heart of Doctor Who, providing a unique insight into the stars, the show and the entire production.

This journey reaches a fitting finale on Saturday when Doctor Who Confidential premiers a brand new mini-adventure starring Matt Smith as the Doctor. Viewers have seen the story, Death is the Only Answer, being made, watching the entire process from script to screen. Saturday's episode, entitled When Time Froze, also includes the ultimate feature on River Song, with Alex Kingston providing a brilliant timeline of everyone's favourite time travelling archaeologist.

The Confidential team captured the rebirth of the show back in 2005 and for over half a decade they have given an unsurpassed, access-all-areas insight not just into Doctor Who, but the magic and mechanics of making successful drama. From an episode directed by David Tennant, to the special edition that broke the news that Matt Smith would be the Eleventh Doctor, Doctor Who Confidential has always delivered the very best in must-see behind-the-scenes action.

The final episode of Doctor Who Confidential, When Time Froze, is on BBC Three on Saturday, immediately after The Wedding of River Song,

At the San Diego Comic-Con last week, some intrepid soul transformed decidedly pedestrian crosswalk buttons into jazzy Timelord Crossing Indicators. And this Whovian tagger went the extra mile and adorned different buttons with different Doctors.

BBC to screen final filmed episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures

As the BBC confirms it won't be continuing with the show, it's been revealed that the final, completed episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures are to be screened.

If you're anything like us, you're still struggling with the shock and unfairness of the death of Elisabeth Sladen last month. Tributes poured in for the late, great actress from people of all ages, and it's clear that she's left behind a mass of appreciative fans. Us included. May she rest in peace.
As expected, her untimely death means that the BBC has no plans now to film further episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures. But it has now confirmed that it will screen the episodes that were already shot. The BBC statement reads:
"Contrary to press reports today we can confirm that no new episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures will be filmed following the tragic death of actress Elisabeth Sladen in April, 2011. As a tribute to Elisabeth the six episodes that were recorded with her last year will be broadcast on CBBC at a date to be confirmed."
Once we have that transmission date, we'll be sure to let you know. Our thoughts remain with Elisabeth Sladen's family.
