Doctor Who Official BBC Site Advent Calendar '07 - Let the Countdown Begin!


It has started! Just like last year, the official Doctor Who website is having an Advent Calendar, where you can go every day from now on until the 25th of December to unlock goodies, such as videos, wallpapers, exclusive pictures, soundbits, interviews, games, bits of the scripts, and so on! It was a LOT of fun last year and I'm sure it will be again this year, so I thought it would be nice to have a thread here where we can come to discuss whatever we've found behind those little doors!

or, from the official news section:

Quote:
Following a long tradition that goes all the way back to, er, last year, we present our second Doctor Who Advent(ure) Calendar.

Over the next 25 days we'll be bringing you a host of new content to tie in with Christmas Special Voyage Of The Damned, plus a few fun things that we couldn't quite squeeze into our Series Three coverage.

There will be trailers, pictures, games, music, makes, and a few surprises too.

We've started with a specially shot greeting from two rather lovely people, just for you - follow the link below and click on number one to find out who it's from.

Keep an eye out for the date and time of the next update at the bottom of the homepage. It will vary from day to day, depending on certain embargoes for pictures, trailers etc.

Christmas starts here. Enjoy!
You can find the one from last year here, still fully functional

Yeah the video was very adorable I am SO excited this has started again!

hah I'm right there with you. How could anyone not?

I do have to say though - I much preferred last year's Christmas-y music to this year's boat noises I have a feeling I'm going to use that 'sound off' feature a lot

Yeah... the boat noise isn't all that attractive. Mr. Tennant certainly is, though.

Day two!

So TPTB write fanfiction? heh, well that's what it seems like to me.
I haven't read it yet, I'm attempting to study but failing miserably, so I'll read it soon.

The illustrations are cute though.

can't say I'm too fussed with today's update. It's like reading fanfic, only not the kind I'd usually read I've skimmed through it, maybe I'll read the whole thing later. It says to be continued... Hope that doesn't mean we get a new part every few days, since that would mean less other potentially better goodies me? Greedy? Never.

Yeah, to be honest I'd prefer it to be more related to VoTD.

But I suppose the kiddies will like it, whcih sometimes frustratingly we have to remember is TPTB's target audience.

I don't think the show's aimed at the kids, really- it's aimed at families (or at least I tell myself that ). But, yeah, they're definitely catering to the kiddie-winkles with this one.

The show is aimed at families, but all the merchandise, the books, etc is all very catered for kids, which most adults except obsessive fans wouldn't be that interested in, IMO.
