Attics can be wonderful, beautiful things. Sometimes they are repositories of worthless junk, but more often they have such wonderful stories to tell. They are full of boxes. Some contain toys from childhood. Others hold certificates, pictures, and correspondence. Still others contain mementos and heirlooms of events both obscure and infamous. There are such stories to be learned, if one can only gain entry and do some research.

That is how it could be for Doctor Who. With 52 years now passed since the show began production, what stories can its artifacts and ephemera tell us? We know the exoteric truths of the show’s production from its primary artifacts — the episodes produced by and shown on the BBC. Surely, there must be more than that. What were the stories, the images, the ideas that never made it onto those tapes? What did time or budget make impossible? What was merely deemed to be poor creative choice?

These are the motivating themes of a new book, Doctor Who: Impossible Worlds by Stephen Nicholas and Mike Tucker. It proposes to take us into the Doctor Who production design department to show how the core ideas of the series transformed from imagination to television drama for over 50 years. In this, it succeeds more than it fails and provides the reader with some rich visual insight into the history of Doctor Who.

Marvel’s Jessica Jones Netflix series debuts next month, and so far, we’re seen a few teaser trailers showing us a hint of what the title character can do physically. We’ve also gotten a glimpse of David Tennant‘s villainous Purple Man.

Now, Netflix has released the full trailer for Jessica Jones.

Watch it here below!

In the world of Marvel’s Jessica Jones, there are few bad guys more dangerous or more damaging than that of Kilgrave aka The Purple Man. In the latest teaser trailer for the upcoming Netflix series, we get just a small piece of just who Kilgrave is and get a taste of what leaves Jessica so scarred and damaged to this day. The entire show, the entire comic series, is built around the horrors of the Purple Man. Quite a bit off from the heroic Doctor Who days of David Tennant if this trailer is any proof. Be sure to check out the video here below.

Netflix has released a pair of teaser trailers for Jessica Jones, their second series based on a Marvel comic following the highly successful Daredevil. An announcement trailer was released earlier in September, and some official images were also released a couple of weeks back.

The teasers are brief, but definitely offer a sample of what to expect when the series hits the streaming service later this year. You can check them both out below.

Netflix and Marvel have released the first batch of images for their upcoming series, Jessica Jones. Check out all the photos here below.

The show is the second of four planned series that began with Daredevil (Luke Cage is currently in pre-production, while Iron Fist has yet to be cast and find a showrunner), culminating in an ensemble series called The Defenders. These images feature Krysten Ritter as the title hero, but also reveal her fellow castmembers Rachael Taylor as Trish Walker and Carrie-Anne Moss as Harper, as well as David Tennant as Kilgrave aka The Purple Man, one of the show’s villains. There is even a look at Mike Colter as Luke Cage.
