The Wall of Lies #127 The Wall of Lies Number 127 Newsletter established 1991, club formed June first 1980 The newsletter of the South Australian Doctor Who Fan Club Inc., also known as SFSA STATE Adelaide, November--December 2010 WEATHER: Warming Free Fake retailer blasts pretend actor by staff writers Young idiot threatens livelihood of many leeches on society. WITH MATTHEW NEWTON’S AVO hearing, critics have claimed he has confused his life with the plot of miniseries Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities. Chief amongst these is Gaylord Boggs, who has played corporate entity “Gerry Harvey” for the chain store Harvey Norman since 1982. He also chairs the Union of Fake Celebrities, whose mission is to distract the stupid amongst us from how reality actually works. This was suggested by George Orwell in Nineteen Eighty-Four, with the characters Big Brother and Emmanuel Goldstein developing cults of personality as a form of social control. “If he [Posey Sweet-Trousers, who plays Newton] O doesn’t keep his trap shut then the game could be ut t N No Gaylord Boggs as senile old up for all of us, if the media found out,” Boggs told ow ! smack in the face Gerry Harvey.

ON TUESDAY 12 OCTOBER the British Film Institute held a preview of the Chameleon Factor # 80 upcoming Russell T Davies scripted Sarah-Jane Adventures episodes Death of the Doctor parts one and two. Fans who paid their nine pounds C o S m soon reported that the Doctor now claimed he had 507 lives. o in on g n! The 13 regenerations rule has been regarded as canonical and binding, despite much evidence to the contrary. This in turn was only established in the 1976 story The Deadly Assassin, and was greeted with similar negative comments in the nascent fandom. In an interview with SFX, Davies seemed amused at the furore. “507 -- I could not resist!”, he said. “I was hooting. It'll never stick, though. That 13 lives is stuck in people's heads. It is, isn't it funny? Yet they only said 13 once or twice.” Continued Page 2 SFSA magazine # 27 What’s recovered Birth of a new magazine, page 4. and what isn’t, page 2. Doctor Who forever from Page 1 Whether this goes on to be any more than a throwaway line remains to be seen. The BBC’s frequently asked questions on the show claims the question is ambiguous now the Time Lords are gone. Davies has moved on from Doctor Who, and remains executive producer on The Sarah-Jane Adventures and Torchwood. Current Who showrunner Steven Moffat tweeted on 10 August that he was more concerned about the inconsistency in the Doctor’s ages, writing “Oh. he's MAKING IT UP, he has no idea.”, presumably about the Doctor rather than Davies. ABC has purchased the rights to the as yet unnamed 2010 Doctor Who Christmas special. It is scheduled for 19.30, 26 December on ABC1. They have repeat rights for series four and five, the associated Confidentials, the 2009/10 specials, Torchwood: Children of Earth, and are running out the rights (Clockwise from right) The R-16 rocket, to the first two series of Torchwood with the current repeats. explosion and wreckage, October 1960.

    Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.

    Screwing Aliens and Screwing with Aliens: Torchwood slashes The Doctor. Richard Berger The Centre for Excellence in Media Practice. Bournemouth University Poole Dorset BH12 5BB + 44 (0)1202) 961622. [email protected] Biography. I am currently Reader in Media & Education at the Centre for Excellence in Media Practice, Bournemouth University, UK. I am programme leader for the Masters in Creative & Media Education and I coordinate pedagogic research in the Media School at Bournemouth. My other research interests include the adaptation of literature, comic books and videogames to film and television as well as blogging, fanfic, and other forms of personal expression online. In addition I am an experienced broadcaster and journalist for BBC Online and BBC Radio, a regular contributor to the independent film magazine, The Big Picture, and co-editor of The Media Research Journal. Screwing Aliens and Screwing with Aliens: Torchwood slashes The Doctor. In summer 2004 an independent study of the BBC’s web provision was published. The Graf Report stated for the first time that the BBC’s web content should be now viewed as the corporation’s third medium – alongside radio and television. In addition the report put the case for what it called ‘360 degree commissioning’ whereby content was produced across the BBC’s platforms, simultaneously. The effect was almost immediate, with the BBC shutting down some of its many websites and reorganizing its new media division as elements of existing departments, rather than an adjunct to radio and television output. At the same time discussions were already underway for the revival of a television franchise which had been largely ignored for 16 years, despite having an almost fanatical following.

  • World Building
    TRANSMEDIA Boni (ed.) Transmedia, Fans, Industries Fans, Transmedia, World Building World Edited by Marta Boni World Building Transmedia, Fans, Industries World Building Transmedia: Participatory Culture and Media Convergence The book series Transmedia: Participatory Culture and Media Convergence provides a platform for cutting-edge research in the field of media studies, with a strong focus on the impact of digitization, globalization, and fan culture. The series is dedicated to publishing the highest-quality monographs (and exceptional edited collections) on the developing social, cultural, and economic practices surrounding media convergence and audience participation. The term ‘media convergence’ relates to the complex ways in which the production, distribution, and consumption of contemporary media are affected by digitization, while ‘participatory culture’ refers to the changing relationship between media producers and their audiences. Interdisciplinary by its very definition, the series will provide a publishing platform for international scholars doing new and critical research in relevant fields. While the main focus will be on contemporary media culture, the series is also open to research that focuses on the historical forebears of digital convergence culture, including histories of fandom, cross- and transmedia franchises, reception studies and audience ethnographies, and critical approaches to the culture industry and commodity culture.
