We’re all gamers here at Traveling the Vortex, and have often spoke of a LEGO Doctor Who game. Well it may not be LEGO but BBC Worldwide has teamed up with Supermassive Games to release a console based game called “Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock” exclusively for the Playstation 3, PC and Sony’s new handheld device, Vita.
It looks like it won’t be disk based, bu a downloadable title. The game will also feature the 11th Doctor (Matt Smith) and River Song (Alex Kingston). And according to the press release “Gamers must learn to master the complexities of time travel with exceptional time based game play, changes made in one time will impact another creating multiple possibilities and challenging players to solve puzzles across the centuries.”
Supermassive Games is no newbie to the Console either…they have created user packs for Little Big Planet 2, as well as Start the Party, and Start the Party 2. The game is set to be released early 2012. Below is the first teaser trailer for the game.
BBC has released an early Christmas present for all Doctor Who fans…the prequel for “The Doctor, The Widow & The Wardrobe”! Enjoy!
Variety is reporting that David Yates (who directed the last 4 Harry Potter films, as well as various TV projects) has teamed with the BBC to make a feature film.
Yates told Variety that he is working with Jane Tranter, in developing the film.
This appears to be valid and has nothing to do with those crazy rumors about a Doctor Who movie starring Johnny Depp.
Yates goes onto say he wants to strip the story down to the basics and it will not be connected to the current run.

As Chrissy pointed out we spent a lot of time in episode 42 of Traveling the Vortex talking about the new Doctor Who acquisitions and we should post pictures of them. Well as we promised in Episode 43 here they are! First up is the entire “shrine”
We also have a nice collection of Doctors with a TARDIS bank
And how can you have Doctors without their adversaries?
Then the adorable Character Building Mini Figures Cybermen and Amy Pond.
And to wrap up this long post pictures of the new action figure additions (Silence, 11th Doctor with Stetson, and Nephew) and a picture that I got while in Omaha for Contagion Outbreak.
Tonight is Friday Night Who! Join @travelvortex & @vortexKeith on twitter at Midnight Central Daylight Time for a live tweet-a-long to the final story in the hunt for the Key To Time, The Armageddon Factor.
Glenn won’t be joining this week because he’s on Holiday and Shaun may or may not join since he is on holiday and has to catch an early flight back in the morning.
Look for the #FridayNightWho #TheKeyToTime #TheArmageddonFactor hashtags.
The Key To Time Finishes…

Here on Traveling the Vortex we tend to discuss the variety that Doctor Who brings on the show. From actor’s different takes on the Doctor to the tone of various stories.
With Doctor Who returning this Saturday the great folks over at io9 wrote up an interesting article about how there are almost as many different shows within Doctor Who as there are regenerations. They even include video examples.
