Do Alien Creatures Based On Earth Animals Get Your Goat?

What's with the preponderence of cat-women, lizard-men, rhino-dudes and Prawns among aliens in science fiction? Heather at the Galaxy Express argues we need to curb our "zoomorphism" or at least find ways to make animal-based aliens more alien. [Galaxy Express]

The Glory And Terror Of Doctor Who's Concept Art

A few other new series Doctor Who tidbits:

[www.digitalspy.com]

Digital Spy has confirmed that Bill "Slartibartfast" Nighy will guest star as "the curator of a Vincent van Gogh exhibition" with "some similar fashion choices to The Doctor himself."

Also, I don't think it was mentioned before, but Karen Gillan's cousin (who is believed to be playing a younger version of Amy) has been seen on set during filming for what is probably the finale.

It sounds like Moffat may be pulling out all the stops when it comes to wibbly wobbly timey wimeyness this season, giving us both the non-sequential relationship with River Song and possibly some sort of 'Girl in the Fireplace' time-skipping thing between young Amy and the Doctor.

Have you ever wanted to own a piece of Doctor Who history?

Well if you do, you'd better smash open the piggy bank now, as Bonhams has just listed 166 items from the new and classic series, most of them take from the famous Doctor Who exhibit at Blackpool.

A mere £1,000, and you can own the Kandyman himself! £700 for poor old giant gastropod Mestor, or if you're feeling thrifty, £300 for an Ergon head, or your choice of three Plasmaton costumes!

By Adric's costume for £650, and tempt the fates during your next commuter flight!

There are plenty of other old and new series costumes and props, including several Daleks, Cybermen, and various companions outfits.

You can view the complete catalog here:

[www.bonhams.com]

Just remember to set the items per page to 166 to be able to see all the really good stuff.

@bluehinter: I only want the Adric costume if it's charred and bloody.

Why yes, I did have an issue with the little sod, why do you ask?

There isn't a flight attendant outfit there too, is there? It's for a friend...

Because I'm moderately desperate for the new Dr. Who to come out, I've been trolling the web for stuff to keep me occupied. Found this: a weird, wonderful mix of science and science fiction. Apparently this is what astrophysicists do for fun: they write stuff up as fanfic to make it more accessible to the gen pop.

Doctor Who's New Future Gameshow Spin-Off: WTF?

Your daily Doctor Who spoilers:

Separate (but unconfirmed) sources have stated that the working title of the 12th episode is "The Pandorica Opens." Take it with a grain of salt, though.

Also, the upcoming Stonehenge filming will be a night shoot this Tuesday, and a Galifrey Base poster who has been reliable in the past, reports that he witnessed a scene being filmed between The Doctor and River Song at Miskin Manor (the same garden where The TARDIS crash-lands sideways in Episode 1)

The scene takes place after a wedding, and the Doctor is dressed in top hat and tails (yes, he does apparently look quite silly), and hands over the diary and sonic to River Song, who was also dressed very smartly.

With any luck, we'll have some pics in the morning.

A couple of very minor Doctor Who spoilers.

First, the digits "3" & "4" were spotted on the side of cast trailers at the most recent filming. Is the crew just being crafty, or are we perhaps dealing with aliens with no individual names or identities?

Secondly, Doctor Who set report whiz Scooty has discovered that the series will be filming at Stonehenge/Salisbury Plain sometime within the next 5-10 days.

It is unknown whether this location is for the same episode as the musuem shooting they've been doing this week, but it seems to fit with the overall archeological theme.

For anyone who fancies a quick vacation to Salisbury, it should be noted that in the past, access to the site is typically limited during filming, but fans with telephoto lenses might be able to snap some interesting photos, especially if the famous stone circle becomes the focal point of an alien invasion.

A few more spoilers from what is probably the Doctor Who finale. Alex Kingston (River Song), Nick Briggs (voice of the Daleks), and Barnaby Edwards (main Dalek operator) have all been seen leaving the museum set.

Again, this is not 100% confirmation that the Daleks are in the finale, but it's a pretty strong indication that they will make some sort of appearance. (Remember, a Dalek was seen on the set of 'Waters of Mars', but their presence in that story was fairly negligible, and there's nothing saying this museum has to be set in the present day, especially if River Song is there.)
