If the interest shown is high enough then hopefully this may persuade the powers-that-be that a release would be financially worthwhile.

Video - "The Time of the Doctor " - Deleted Scene

Courtesy, once again, of BBC America - and let's face it...we get more goodies from BBC America than we do from the BBC (which is somewhat irritating and pathetic) - below is a deleted scene from "The Time of the Doctor".  I wondered what happened to this - especially after all the filming pictures:

Videos - "The Time of the Doctor" - Behind the Scenes videos

The BBC have released some behind the scenes videos following tonight's transmission of "The Time of the Doctor".  However, I'm sure most will watch these through a haze of tears:

Goodbye, Eleven - Goodbye, Old Friend

Well, 11...here we are - our last Christmas together.  It seems like only yesterday when you, quite literally, crashed into our lives.  How were we to know that you - a strange looking chap with the oh-so-young face framing those oh-so-ancient eyes - would worm your way into our affections so quickly and so deeply?

Remember our first adventure?  Fish fingers and custard.  20 minutes to save the world.  There you were - Amelia Pond's (and ours) Raggedy Doctor putting on a show.  We fell for you, raggedy man, very quickly - and we fell hard.  Of course, for that first year, we were still getting to know you, still working our way past that bouncy, manic, child in a toyshop persona to see the sometimes self-loathing, distrustful yet caring and sympathetic alien beneath.  There was magic and delight in getting to know you and by the end of our first year, we just knew that you, my friend, are something special.

Oh, it wasn't all plain sailing.  We had our moments, didn't we?  Faking your own death, travelling alone (you WERE warned, my dear), Trenzalore, The Silence, the weight of cumulative loss that finally broke you, that caused you to retreat from the universe and spend 200 years on top of a cloud... good lord, you know how to sulk, don't you?  Thankfully, you were tempted off your cloud, picked up another stray and off we were again.  Talking of strays ... you know that if you loved someone then we'd love and care for them too?  Amy, Rory, Clara - if they travelled with you then they became a part of us too.  The Girl Who Waited, The Last Centurion and The Impossible Girl - they all intrigued and delighted you in some way so you took them with you and showed them the Universe.  You showed us too.  We were there, in that glorious box, experiencing and living it with you and your friends.  You changed them.  You made them better.  Did you really think you wouldn't do the same to us too?  We are all better, happier and wiser for having known you.

There is one important person we haven't mentioned yet.  Your wife... River Song.  You had no idea who she was at first - she knew more than you and, boy, did that wrong-foot you and throw you off your stride.  It was delicious seeing you flail around like that, seeing you try to wheedle information out of her - it was only later that the true tragedy revealed itself.  Constantly meeting in the wrong order, one always ahead of the other - we, like you, knew that she would end up at the Library and we were working our way back to the beginning.  Seeing how much she loved you, how she sacrificed everything for you... and yet, we were still unsure.  A wedding on top of a pyramid, in an alternative dimension that didn't exist?  How typically timey-wimey of you.  Trenzalore, however, sealed the deal.  We saw it then.  We saw the depth of feeling you had for her and we hoped, we fervently hoped, that the two of you made the most of those "nights".  You deserved to be happy - both of you.

But, back to you, my friend.  You never disappointed us.  You taught us that bowties, fezes and stetsons were cool, you helped us develop a love for jammie dodgers - and yes, most of us have indeed savoured the intriguing combination of fish fingers and custard.  We love - and that's not too strong a word - every single thing about you.  From that floppy hair to those gorgeous and expressive eyes. From the brown tweed to the purple frock-coat.  From that large chin to those large hands.  From your confident dexterity whilst operating the Tardis to sometimes having the co-ordination of a newborn giraffe.  From your little catchphrases to your big, emotional and epic speeches.  Let's face it - nobody does big, emotional and epic quite like you.

So, we're closing in on the end .. the final chapter - with not much possibility of an afterword from you - and there are a few things we'd like to say to you.  Thank you.  Thank you for giving us hope.  Thank you for making us smile and laugh during times we never thought we would.  Thank you for the fun, the excitement and the tears.  Most of all though - and we're going to paraphrase your missus here if that's okay - we can't let you die without knowing that you are loved - by so many and so much - and by no-one more than us.

Time for one last journey before saying goodbye.

We're going to miss you, raggedy man.

New - Almeida Theatre - American Psycho ipad App

The Almeida Theatre now have an ipad app called "Almeida Theatre Publications".  The initial app is free and once you've downloaded and opened it, you're given the opportunity to purchase - for £1.49 - the American Psycho "publication".

This consists of what appears to be the theatre programme itself (I obviously haven't seen the programme) with the tracklist - plus two playable tracks:  "You Are What You Wear" (no Matt singing but you do get to hear him talk) and "Mistletoe Alert (again, no Matt).  It also has an essay about Patrick Bateman by Mary Harron, a "catch up" with Bret Easton Ellis and a lovely interactive map of New York which enables you to click on various places for more info such as "The Four Seasons" which comes up with "Well, I do have an early lunch with Cliff Huxtable at the Four Seasons" etc.

Other features of the app include an article by music journalist Paul Morley about Patrick Bateman and the music of the 80's, the Mr Porter photos, some rehearsal photos and a really terrific article about the "Making of a New Musical" which features quotes from the writer, some early set design concepts, a page of the musical score and a page of the script with handwritten notes on it.  There's a video interview with some of the cast (no Matt), a Spotify mixtape of 80's tunes selected by the cast and brief biographies of cast and crew.

Worth the £1.49?  Oh, you bet it is.

This ipad app is currently only available in the UK and you can download it and get more information here:

Almeida Theatre Publications - ipad app

Alternatively, of course, you can simply search in the ipad app store for "Almeida Theatre Publications".
