QUIERO PASAR ALGUNOS DIAS EN MADRID T.T ..... CON SUERTE ESTARE ALLI PARA HALLOWEEN

Bruce Lee plays ping pong with nunchucks like a boss!

Which Doctor Who monster would make the best roommate? What’s the most fashionable Timelord headgear, fez or Stetson? And, of course, the age-old question, pool in the TARDIS or Vortex Manipulator watch?

BBC America put forth these very questions to celebrity Doctor Who fans as well as to devoted viewers who packed the exhibition floor at last month’s San Diego Comic-Con. Their frank and funny answers will be featured in three original specials the network has announced to feed the Whovian need as we count down the nanoseconds until the August 27 fall premiere. Here’s the schedule – mark the calendars and set those DVRs:

Doctor Who: Best of the Doctor – Saturday, August 13 at 9/8c.
Doctor Who: Best of the Monsters – Saturday, August 20 at 9/8c.
Doctor Who: Best of the Companions – Saturday, August 27 following the Doctor Who premiere episode, “Let’s Kill Hitler,” which airs at 9/8c.

The lineup is a Who’s Who of DW fandom: Alison Haislip (The Voice, G4 correspondent), Chris Hardwick (Nerdist), Scott Adsit (30 Rock), Natalie Morales (Parks and Recreation), Eugene Mirman (Flight of the Conchords, Bob’s Burgers), WIRED Magazine senior editor Adam Rogers, singer-songwriter Amanda Palmer (Dresden Dolls), comedian/musician Reggie Watts, Danielle Harris (the Halloweenfranchise), comedian Paul F. Tompkins, former NFL player Hugh Douglas, and guitar hero Scott Ian (Anthrax). And Who fan fave Mark Sheppard — Canton Delaware III from the two-part season opener — will also be joining the festivities.

We’ve gotten our mittens on an exclusive sneak peek at the specials. Here, Alison Haislip, Chris Hardwick, Scott Adsit, and Reggie Watts totally geek out over Doctor Who lead writer Steven Moffat‘s ingenious monster creation, The Silence.

The Doctor Who Cycle

When I’m waiting on the new season/episode I’m like

Then on the day it premiers, I’m like

Then while I’m watching it I’m alternately like

   and     

and then they reveal something and I’m totally like

But by the end of it, I’m all

 again

And then I realize how long I have to wait for the next one and I’m like

 
 
 

A horse and a man above, below.
One has a plan, but both must go.
Mile after mile, above, beneath,
One has a smile and one has teeth. 
Though the man above might say hello, 
Expect no love from the beast below.

In bed, above, or deep asleep,
what greater love lies further deep.
This dream must end, 
this world must know,
we all depend on the beast below.
 

The reason I love Steven Moffat is that there are about a dozen huge plot threads that he has to wrap up in the next six episodes of Doctor Who, and the answer to all of them is probably going to be in a single scene, and it is probably going to involve a funny hat
