Oxford Doctor Who Society OXFORD DOCTOR WHO SOCIETY Michaelmas Term 2018 LIVE SERIES 11 SCREENINGS! SPECIAL GUESTS! CLASSIC EPISODE SCREENINGS! QUIZZES! DRINKS! SNACKS! TIMEY-WIMEY STUFF! WEEK Series 11, Episode 1 – The Woman Who Fell to Earth – Live Screening Sunday 7th October, 6:30pm, Worcester College (Room to be confirmed) That’s right – we’re watching the first eight episodes of Jodie’s first series on the BIG SCREEN! Well, sadly Episode 1 is the exception for this, as Hillary Clinton’s visit to Mansfield has interrupted our usual Sunday night auditorium booking. You probably won’t have been to WhoSoc before, but fear not – this is the perfect 1 hopping on point. Whether you plan to attend our Thursday meetings or not, you’re very welcome to come along and join us for what’s shaping up to be spectacular series. Keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter feeds (both @OxfordDoctorWho) for more details. We’ll wait at the main entrance of the college until a couple of minutes before the episode airs (6:45pm) to make sure you know where to find us. WELCOME FRESHERS! Ft. Blink and re-run of Series 11, Episode 1 Thursday 11th October, 8pm, Seminar Room East, Mansfield College Freshers Drinks is the perfect start to the WhoSoc year. There’ll be free drinks and snacks, meeting and greeting, and lots of fierce defending of unpopular opinions. At about 8:30pm, we’re going to refrain from blinking for 45 minutes as we watch the first story to feature fan-favourite monsters the Weeping Angels. Then there’ll be a short break if you need to head off early, and after that we’ll watch Series 11 opener The Woman Who Fell to Earth – an important screening whether you’re watching it for the first time or the 13th! Join us as we head to the pub afterwards. WEEK Series 11, Episode 2 – The Ghost Monument – Live Screening Sunday 14th October, Time TBC, Sir Joseph Hotung Auditorium, Mansfield College Keep an eye on our Facebook, Twitter and weekly emails to see when where we’re gathering this week to watch the new ep LIVE as it’s broadcast! Pyramids of Mars 2 Thursday 18th October, 8pm, Seminar Room East, Mansfield College For our first Classic Who screening of the term, we’ll be watching the fantastic Pyramids of Mars, which follows the Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane from England, to Egypt, to the planet Mars! They encounter mummies and the evil Sutekh – the inspiration for the Egyptian god Set – who is bent on destroying the jewel on a pyramid on Mars which is keeping him prisoner. WEEK Series 11, Episode 3 Live Screening Sunday 21st October, Time TBC, Sir Joseph Hotung Auditorium, Mansfield College Keep an eye on our Facebook, Twitter and weekly emails to see where we’re gathering this week to watch the new ep LIVE as it’s broadcast! The Impossible Astronaut & Day of the Moon 3 Thursday 25th October, 8pm, Seminar Room East, Mansfield College If you haven’t made it to a meeting yet at this point in term, we’d still be very excited to meet you! Hopefully everyone is over the freshers’ flu in time to watch the most audacious first 15 minutes in the history of Doctor Who, followed by a journey back in time to the USA in 1969… WEEK Series 11, Episode 4 Live Screening Sunday 28th October, Time TBC, Sir Joseph Hotung Auditorium, Mansfield College Keep an eye on our Facebook, Twitter and weekly emails to see where we’re gathering this week to watch the new ep LIVE as it’s broadcast! The Time Warrior ft. talk by Matthew Kilburn 4 Thursday 1st November, 8pm, Seminar Room East, Mansfield College It’s Time for our first guest speaker of term! Not only will we be viewing the first Sontaran story – and the first Sarah Jane story! – we’ll also be chatting to Dr Matthew Kilburn, our very own veteran society member who has recently finished writing an entire Black Archive book about this story. Join us for a uniquely immersive Who-viewing experience – what Dr Kilburn doesn’t know about The Time Warrior ain’t worth knowing! WEEK Series 11, Episode 5 Live Screening Sunday 4th November, Time TBC, Sir Joseph Hotung Auditorium, Mansfield College Keep an eye on our Facebook, Twitter and weekly emails to see when we’re gathering this week to watch the new ep LIVE as it’s broadcast! GEEK QUIZ!! 5 Thursday 8th November, 8pm, Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre, Worcester College In the legendary Geek Quiz, members of Oxford's geekiest societies get together to battle it out for the crown of "team who won that term". If you can write a round not entirely related to Doctor Who, bring it along. Please ensure your round is visual – make a PowerPoint with each question displayed on a different slide. Our society usually divides up into a few different teams – come along and help us beat those pesky TrekSoc-ers! Series 11, Episode 6 Live Screening Sunday 11th November, Time TBC, Sir Joseph Hotung WEEK Auditorium, Mansfield College Keep an eye on our Facebook, Twitter and weekly emails to see when we’re gathering this week to watch the new ep LIVE as it’s broadcast! Steven Moffat RANDOMIZER!! 6 Thursday 15th November, 8pm, Seminar Room East, Mansfield College Steven Moffat – head writer of both Matt Smith’s and Peter Capaldi’s eras – is quite divisive among the fandom (and quite wonderful too). So we’re going to RANDOMIZE HIM! There are stories spread across the 2010-2017 era that we never get to watch at WhoSoc, because there are never enough weeks in the Oxford year. So when we arrive this Thursday, we’re going to hold a random draw of one Smith and one Capaldi episode to watch. We think it will be exciting to arrive at WhoSoc without any preconceived notions of what we’re about to watch and hope the results will be very fun! th WEEK Series 11, Episode 7 Live Screening Sunday 18 November, Time TBC, Sir Joseph Hotung Auditorium, Mansfield College Keep an eye on our Facebook, Twitter and weekly emails to see when we’re gathering this week to watch the new ep LIVE as it’s broadcast!

All are welcome as we reflect on Series 11 so far at one of Oxford’s many restaurants – stay tuned for details. We’ll be joined by none other than Mr Simon Guerrier, who has written countless prose and audio stories for Doctor Who, and most recently co-wrote The Women Who Lived with The Fan Show’s Christel Dee. Afterwards, we’ll head back to Mansfield to hear more from Simon all about his exciting career and involvement with the show. th WEEK Series 11, Episode 8 Live Screening Sunday 25 November, Time TBC, Sir Joseph Hotung Auditorium, Mansfield College Keep an eye on our Facebook, Twitter and weekly emails to see when we’re gathering this week to watch the new ep LIVE as it’s broadcast! Earthshock + Committee Meeting 8 Thursday 29th November, 8pm, Seminar Room East, Mansfield College How on Earth have we made it through the term without watching anything from the 1980s?? One of the most highly-acclaimed Fifth Doctor stories is Earthshock – a very significant story in two major ways that, if you don’t yet know what they are – we don’t want to spoil the surprise for you! Come and get Earth-shook with us and celebrate an amazing term at WhoSoc as we watch this 1982 adventure. All are welcome to stick around for the committee meeting afterwards to have your say in what we do next term. Facebook.com/OxfordDoctorWho Twitter.com/OxfordDoctorWho .

  • Blink by Steven Moffat EXT
    Blink by Steven Moffat EXT. WESTER DRUMLINS HOUSE - NIGHT Big forbidding gates. Wrought iron, the works. A big modern padlock on. Through the gates, an old house. Ancient, crumbling, overgrown. Once beautiful - still beautiful in decay. Panning along: on the gates - DANGER, KEEP OUT, UNSAFE STRUCTURE -- The gates are shaking, like someone is climbing them -- -- and then a figure drops into a view on the other side. Straightens up into a close-up. SALLY SPARROW. Early twenties, very pretty, just a bit mad, just a bit dangerous. She's staring at the house, eyes shining. Big naughty grin. SALLY Sexy! And she starts marching up the long gravel drive ... CUT TO: INT. WESTER DRUMLINS HOUSE. HALLWAY - NIGHT The big grand house in darkness, huge sweeping staircase, shuttered window, debris everywhere -- One set of shutters buckles from an impact from the inside, splinters. SALLY SPARROW, kicking her away in -- CUT TO: INT. WESTER DRUMLINS HOUSE. HALLWAY/ROOMS - NIGHT SALLY, clutching a camera. Walks from one room to another. Takes a photograph. Her face: fascinated, loving this creepy old place. Takes another photograph. CUT TO: INT. WESTER DRUMLINS HOUSE. CONSERVATORY ROOM - NIGHT In the conservatory now - the windows looking out on a darkened garden. And a patch of rotting wallpaper catches SALLY'S eye -- 2. High on the wall, just below the picture rail, a corner of wallpaper is peeling away, drooping mournfully down from the wall -- -- revealing writing on the plaster behind. Just two letters we can see - BE - the beginning of a word -- She reaches up on tiptoes and pulls at the hanging frond of wallpaper.

  • Blink: the Power of Thinking Without Thinking
    PENGUIN BOOKS BLINK Author, journalist, cultural commentator and intellectual adventurer, Malcolm Gladwell was born in 1963 in England to a Jamaican mother and an English mathematician father. He grew up in Canada and graduated with a degree in history from the University of Toronto in 1984. From 1987 to 1996, he was a reporter for the Washington Post, first as a science writer and then as New York City bureau chief. Since 1996, he has been a staff writer for the New Yorker magazine. His curiosity and breadth of interests are shown in New Yorker articles ranging over a wide array of subjects including early childhood development and the flu, not to mention hair dye, shopping and what it takes to be cool. His phenomenal bestseller The Tipping Point captured the world’s attention with its theory that a curiously small change can have unforeseen effects, and the phrase has become part of our language, used by writers, politicians and business people everywhere to describe cultural trends and strange phenomena.

  • Lorna Jowett Is a Reader in Television Studies at the University Of
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by NECTAR 1 The Girls Who Waited? Female Companions and Gender in Doctor Who Lorna Jowett Abstract: Science fiction has the potential to offer something new in terms of gender representation. This doesn’t mean it always delivers on this potential. Amid the hype surrounding the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, the longest running science fiction series on television, a slightly critical edge is discernable in the media coverage concerning the casting of the twelfth Doctor and issues of representation in the series. This paper examines Doctor Who in the broader context of TV drama and changes to the TV industry, analysing the series’ gender representation, especially in the 2005 reboot, and focusing largely on the female ‘companions’. Keywords: gender representation, television, feminism, BBC. When I put together an earlier version of this paper two years ago, I discovered a surprising gap in the academic study of Doctor Who around gender. Gender in science fiction has often been studied, after all, and Star Trek, another science fiction television series starting in the 1960s (original run 1966-69) and continued via spin-offs and reboots, has long been analysed in terms of gender. So why not Doctor Who? Admittedly, Doctor Who’s creators have no clear philosophy about trying to represent a more equal society, as with the utopian Trek. The lack of scholarship on gender in Doctor Who may also be part of a lack of scholarship generally on the series—academic study of it is just gaining momentum, and only started to accumulate seriously in the last five years.

    New Doctor Who Season 3, Episode 10, “Blink” 姓名____________學號 ____________ The Doctor's Message from 1965 They're coming. They're coming for you, but listen, your life could depend on this. Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck. The letter from Kathy to Sally, 1920 My dearest Sally Sparrow. If my grandson has done as he promises he will, then as you read these words it has been merely minutes since we last spoke for you. For me, it has been over sixty years. The third of the photographs is of my children. The youngest is Sally. I named her after you, of course. I suppose, unless I live to a really exceptional old age, I will be long gone as you read this. Don't feel sorry for me. I have led a good and full life. I've loved a good man and been well loved in return. You would have liked Ben. He was the very first person I met in 1920. The Doctor talks about the weeping angels, 1965 DOCTOR: What matters is, we can communicate. We have got big problems now. They have taken the blue box, haven't they? The angels have the phone box. LARRY: The angels have the phone box. That's my favorite, I've got it on a T-shirt. SALLY: What do you mean, angels? You mean those statue things? DOCTOR: Creatures from another world.
