Something a little different as we take a breather from this past week.
As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, I decided to take a look back at some of the obscure Doctor moments.
Many times throughout the years, Doctor Who played a part in Children in Need, aired on the BBC to collect donations for, well, children in need. This particular episode stands out for Doctor Who fans because, well, just watch as the new meets the old.

Doctor Who
You managed to survive Super Bowl weekend. Now (if you’re in the Northeast), you might get pummeled with a blizzard on Friday. It’s a good thing that Wednesday was new comics day.
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD
It’s the last new comics day of January 2013, and while the temperatures have been erratic, at least we are guaranteed a bunch of good books to read.

Oh no, of course, you mostly went hands-free didn’t you? It was like, “Hey, I’m the Doctor, I can save the universe using a kettle and some string! And look at me, I’m wearing a vegetable.”

It may be Wednesday, but I’m a bit tweaked thanks to a horder strike at my local comic shop. I still have some picks, but I have unfortunately been deprived of Walking Dead #106 since two guys went in and bought 6 issues… each!
Anyway, here are this week’s picks.
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD
Keeping with the Doctor Who theme, I thought I would look back over the five most tragic Doctor Who companions. Granted, we are talking about a 50 year history, so I’m going to limit the list to the ones that I have personally seen, which limits the list down considerably.
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD… LOTS OF SPOILERS AHEAD.

This is a bit late for the holiday, but I just recently stumbled across this again on YouTube and felt it was necessary to share it.
This video comes from a British comedy show called Dead Ringers, which did a number of parodies. This particular one is a Doctor Who parody perfect for Christmas (or just after).
I have to admit that I don’t often get a chance to watch a lot of television, almost none of it when it is actually broadcast.
That still doesn’t mean I haven’t picked out a few favorites.
With the premiere of the new Doctor Who Christmas special only hours away (for those of us on the U.S., anyway), it seems only fitting that we take a look at something that most people in the U.S. don’t see… unless we’re total Doctor Who geeks and sought this out on Youtube.
Often, as part of the BBC’s Children in Need telethon, Doctor Who has presented a mini-segment. One year, it was a bridge between the first series and the second, where the Doctor explains regeneration to Rose. Another year, we actually get to see the Doctor meet himself, at least one of his past selves, as Peter Davison makes an appearance.
This year, the minisode (as they called it) acts as a set up for the Christmas special, laying the groundwork for that is to come. The clip presented is also introduced by Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman.
