Series 6 Clues on the Official BBC Website?

[eve11]

Okay, so for those not in the know, there are some sneaky yet obviously officially sanctioned and deliberate clues to something, tucked into the official web site. I will put the rest in spoiler white; it is a discussion of these teasers/clues but does not include big spoilers or anything else not seen in the non-UK-aired episodes yet.

In fact I don't know if this has anything to do with Series 6; it could just be a standalone game of some kind?

Anyway, onward!


Okay, so in the extras for each episode, in the "Fourth Dimension" tag, you will find a list of little extras and tidbits. In each of the tidbits, one word is italicized. If you collect these italicized words together they spell out clues.

Some of the blog sites like Blogtor Who and the Tardis Newsroom are collecting these together where you can look at them but it's pretty fun to go and check them out for yourself too. I will compile them here:

The Impossible Astronaut says: All the secrets you seek can be found here on the web.

Day of the Moon says: We found your message! You're alive! But what secrets d'you mean my friend?

Curse of the Black Spot says: I mean I glimpsed him! And may the gods help him, or perhaps you can.

And they up the ante for The Doctor's Wife, which says: To see what I saw, click on the spot beyond the Doctor's home planet. And in the last bit if you click on the period after the word "Gallifrey" it sends you to a link (http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/videos/p00gygrl) to a short video clip labeled "analysis lessons"

So, what's going on? Is it something to do with the arc in series six? Is it just a game on the website? It's an intriguing little game if so. If it's a series 6 clue, I think it gives some credence to the idea that somehow there are two Doctors; one we are following and then the 1100 year old one that somehow breaks off from his timeline or something?

ETA: oh and by the way, "Analysis Lessons" is an anagram for "Lonely Assassins". More Weeping Angels?

Yeah, I think it's 1, 2, 1, 1, as you mention.

So if "Analysis Lessons" = "Lonely Assassins" and it is really a reference to Weeping Angels, that makes me think that it doesn't have anything to do with Series 6. Unless Moffat is playing a much longer game than I give him credit for. There was always some stuff in Time Of Angels that didn't gel for me; the madman's notebook, the last page, that said "What if we had ideas that could think for themselves? What if one day our dreams no longer needed us? When these things occur and are held to be true, the time will be upon us. The time of Angels."

Which was never really explained. And really makes absolutely no sense. Because ideas thinking for themselves, and dreams getting lives of their own don't really seem to be all that much of a theme for Weeping Angels. But at the same time, dreams, fairy tales, and ideas have become a motif in the new series. Rosanna Calvierri wants the Doctor to dream of the Saturninians. Amy could be dreaming or not in the new series according to Eyepatch Lady. The Silence lurk in shadows and steal everyone else's ideas. And we still have no idea what their motivations are.

Anyway, I'm just rambling now.

Neat! This reminds me of 2005 when Clyde has his website (later taken over by Mickey) and you could "hack" into UNIT by typing in buffalobision. Except, far cleverer than that really. That video is... it made me feel something creeping over my spine. I think Eleven's not going to have a good time of it when this mid-series cliff-hanger comes up, no, not even a little bit...

Mmm, yeah, creepy...

Regarding the notebook *from Time of Angels, on the DVD commentary for S5, Moffat says that in the original script one of the clerics was going to be flung back in time by the Weeping Angels as happened in Blink and that he was going to be the writer of the book. They didn't use this in the end, for length reasons or whatever. Of course, that doesn't mean Moffat can't now use it in some different way in a later story.*

LOL, yes - I remember those fake websites from S1 - they were pretty cool and they managed to add a lot to the hype surrounding the whole "Bad Wolf" thing and make it seem it was going to turn out to be far more awesome than it actually turned out in the end. Hope this one has a better payoff, really! ;D

This isn't really a clue, but I'm putting here so anyone trying to avoid spoilers can avoid it. It is only mildly spoilery, but it is too cute to not share it.

Someone else noticed a resemblance between a certain Who character and a cartoon named Kenny.

Those are brilliant! ;D Love the attention to detail, all the different costumes and enemies and stuff too.
