RESUMO A série britânica, Doctor Who, criada e produzida pela BBC desde 1963 se consagrou como uma das mais antigas e bem-sucedidas séries de ficção para a televisão. Doctor Who trilhou seu caminho e atingiu o status cult se tornando o sucesso que é hoje, com uma extensa quantidade de episódios e temporadas, e uma grande expansão de seu universo narrativo para outras mídias como o cinema, os quadrinhos, a literatura, os jogos digitais e analógicos. A expansão de uma obra traz uma série de obstáculos, já que uma vasta narrativa mantida por tanto tempo e em tantas mídias sofre várias mudanças de modo que seus fãs também podem mudar ou passar a ter expectativas diferentes das iniciais. Apesar disso, algumas séries como Doctor Who, conseguem, ao longo do tempo, se manter firmes e coerentes de modo a encontrar e construir uma identidade sólida, o que é interessante e aceitável para seus fãs. Além disso, essa identidade tem relação com os arquétipos do universo ficcional da série, sendo, muitas vezes, o que norteia o direcionamento narrativo e a migração dessa narrativa para outras mídias. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar e elencar quais são os arquétipos centrais que definem essa identidade, no caso, da série Doctor Who, e como isso pode contribuir para a produção e o estudo de vastas narrativas transmídia, ajudando na compreensão dos arquétipos centrais de universos ficcionais tendo como foco a construção e expansão dessas narrativas. Palavras-chave: Arquétipos. Doctor Who. Narrativa Seriada. Narrativa Transmídia. Universo Ficcional. ABSTRACT Doctor Who, a British series created and produced by the BBC since 1963 has been devoted as one of the oldest and most successful series of fiction for television. The series has set its course and achieved cult status, becoming the success it is today with an extensive amount of episodes and seasons and a large expansion of its narrative universe to other media such as movies, comics, literature, digital and analog games. The expansion of a work brings a series of obstacles, a vast narrative maintained for so long and in so many media, undergoes several changes with the passage of time, the fans can also change or have different expectations. Nevertheless some series like Doctor Who, manage to remain firm and coherent over time. These series can find and construct a solid identity that is interesting and acceptable to its fans, this identity is related to the archetypes of the fictional universe of the series and is what often guides the narrative direction and the migration of this narrative to other media, this study aimed to analyze and punctuate the elements that define this identity of Doctor Who and how this can contribute to the production and study of vast transmedia narratives. Keywords: Archetypes. Doctor Who. Narrative Series. Transmedia Narrative. Storyworld.

    DOCTOR WHO SERIES 10 EPISODE 1 "A Star In Her Eye" By Steven Moffat SHOOTING SCRIPT 16/06/2016 (SHOOTING BLOCK 1) DW10: EP 1 "A Star In Her Eye" by Steven Moffat - SHOOTING SCRIPT - 16/06/16 1 INT. THE DOCTOR’S OFFICE - DAY 1 - 16.00 1 The quietest opening we’ve ever had. We’re in a reasonably untidy office. Dust and books. Obviously academic. A university lecturer’s office. We hold this stationary shot - there’s a pleasing symmetry. There’s a door on the left of the screen, and a slightly open one on the right - like the two doors on a weather clock. Through the slightly open door we can see another, smaller room. In between the doors, there’s a desk, facing across the screen. Two empty chairs. The one in front of the closed door, is a simple, wooden chair. Facing it across the desk is an elegant swivel chair. Distantly, a bell chiming. We hear the chatter of distant voices - young people, chatting and laughing. Under that, the drone of traffic. Ordinary and still, for as long as we dare. Then: Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! It’s like the squeaking wheel on a supermarket trolley - and it’s getting closer. Now the closed door opens, revealing: Nardole. Much as we last saw him in The Husbands Of River Song. He steps into the room (always a squeak on his left leg) revealing: In the doorway, Bill. Young, female, cheeky as hell. Nardole stands clear of the door, gestures towards the wooden chair.

  • Professor River Song Was an Archeologist in Doctor Who, Who First Appeared When David Tennant, the 10Th Doctor Still Traveled with Donna Noble (2008)
    Doctor Who “Silence in the Library” “Forest of the Dead” Professor River Song was an archeologist in Doctor Who, who first appeared when David Tennant, the 10th Doctor still traveled with Donna Noble (2008). The true identity of Professor River Song remained a secret until the 11th Doctor's next travel companion Amy Pond found out that in the future, River Song would become the Doctor's wife. A time traveler as well, the ending story of River Song was revealed earlier in 10th Doctor's “Silence in the Libray” and “Forest of the Dead”, the first time the Doctor met her. Quotes from Professor River Song: River: Hello Sweetie. The Doctor: Get out! ==================================== River: They've gone into warp drive. We're losing them. Stay close. The Doctor: I'm trying! River: Use the stabilizers. The Doctor: It (The Tardis) doesn't have stabilizers! River: The blue switches. The Doctor: The blue switches don't do anything! They're just blue. River: Yes, they're blue. They're the blue stabilizers! ==================================== River: Okay, I've mapped the probability vectors, done a full background temporal isometry, charted the ship to its destination and...parked us right alongside. The Doctor: "Parked us"? We haven't landed. River: Of course we've landed. I just landed her. The Doctor: But...it didn't make the noise. River: What noise? The Doctor: You know the [attempts to imitate the noise the TARDIS usually makes when it lands] River: It's not supposed to make that noise. You leave the brakes on. The Doctor: Yeah, well, it's a brilliant noise.

Disc 1. Later, the Doctor returned the diary to River, telling her that all the writing had returned, but he hadn't peeked; foreknowledge is dangerous. They did I nice job with this temporally paradoxical mash-up. I think I'm addicted. The story is perfectly interesting, to begin with, but feels very disappointing by the end. This particular boxset takes place some time after her last on-screen adventure She's River, it's timey-wimey, who knows! River meeting earlier incarnations of her husband has almost become a running joke by this point. River is very sick and is being attended to by her husband. View all Our Sites. Has image. It is well worth listening to if you like River Song in any capacity plus 8 shows up in one of the adventures. Definitely one of the best things Big Finish did all year. Ghosts by Jonathan Morris is the final story in the set, bringing the Tenth Doctor and River Song together for one last time on the spooky planet of Demonese 2. Exactly this River I wanted to get to know better, space parties, ancient tombs, feminism, and cosmic freemasonry. That was so good.
