“Pond Life” Mini Prequel Announced
The BBC has revealed five Doctor Who mini-adventures will be released online next week ahead of the new series. Last season we got five “Night And The Doctor” minisodes that showed us life in the Tardis between the televised adventures. This season they’ll act as a prequel to season seven.
According to CultBox.com:
Available on the official Doctor Who website and the BBC’s YouTube Channel, “Pond Life” is written by Chris Chibnall and will feature Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill, plus “some unexpected surprises”.
Says Chibnall: “Pond Life provides us with a lovely opportunity to catch-up with Amy and Rory since we saw them at the end of the last series. It opens with the Ponds at home and gives us an insight in to just what happens when the Doctor drops in and out of their lives. Travelling with the Doctor is one of the greatest things you can do, but it’s fun to spend a few moments looking at the chaos he can also bring.”
The first episode of Pond Life will be available to watch at noon on Monday August 27th, with new instalments released each day until Friday, August 31st.

Podcast Delayed
Slight delay, as Glenn is recovering from his family reunion and Keith and Sarah were moving, we did not get the opportunity to record last night as is our custom. Should be a go tonight, and hope to have it on the feeds for you tomorrow…
Happy Birthday, Keith Miles!
Please join us in wishing our very own Keith Miles a very happy birthday! Keith is of course, one third of Traveling The Vortex, producer of the 5 and 9 news casts at an area TV Station, and about to become a married man to the wonderful Sarah.
When not prognosticating the discovery of the Higgs particle and obsessing over that show we refuse to discuss anymore, he enjoys disc golf, cooking and monkeys. Yeah, we’re not sure either.
We hope his marriage can withstand his man crush on Matt Smith. You can send your best wishes to him on twitter @VortexKeith, or Keith@travelingthevortex.com.
Happy Birthday buddy!
Friday Night Who 8/10/12
Tonight’s Friday Night Who takes us into Colin Baker’s reign as the sixth Doctor, in Timelash.
