In the run-up to the premiere of Doctor Who Series 7, the BBC is posting a short mini web series this week called Pond Life that focuses on the everyday life of Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill) when they’re away from their travels with the Doctor (Matt Smith). You can check out part one below.

Pond Life will spearhead directly into the events of the debut episode of Series 7, which is called Asylum of the Daleks. It is essentially a prequel that sets the tone for Amy’s and Rory’s relationship, but also their friendship with the Doctor. The couple will be departing the series this season, after which the Doctor will come across new companion Clara (Jenna-Louise Coleman).

BBC America has released a brand new trailer for Series 7 of Doctor Who, that contains some awesome new footage not yet shown in the UK trailers. You can see the trailer in all its brilliance at the bottom of this post.

Some of the footage not seen before includes a short shot of River Song (Alex Kingston) and some film of the Weeping Angels from the final episode featuring Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill) and Amy Pond (Karen Gillan).

Doctor Who Series 7 showcases the return of the Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith, and is produced by showrunner Steven Moffat. The seventh series will be split in two for broadcast: part one playing during the Fall, the Christmas Special introducing new companion Clara played by Jenna-Louise Coleman, and then part two concluding the seventh series during Spring 2013.

The Doctor is back, and with the new Seventh Series only a few weeks away, it’s about time that BBC and BBC America have unleashed a brand new Doctor Who trailer. You can check it out at the bottom of this post.

Doctor Who Series 7 is believed to premiere on August 25 this year, with the first half being televised before the Christmas Special, the Christmas Special introducing new companion Clara played by Jenna Louise-Coleman, and then the second half of the season rounding everything up during the first half of 2013.

The TARDISblend is back with Episode 50 for another Doctor Who Series 7 preview, featuring special guest Andy Sorcini. We review the Doctor Who panel at the recent San Diego Comic-Con, as Andy gives us the rundown of what they discussed and showed at SDCC.

Later, we take a look forward to Series 7, as we review the current episode listing, episode titles, and so on. There are details about a new trailer coming this week, and we explore the rumors surrounding the premiere date of the first episode, currently entitled Asylum of the Daleks.

We discuss more news surrounding new companion Jenna Louise-Coleman, speculate on whether we’ll see a new Sonic Screwdriver in Series 7, and ponder what new monster Steven Moffat has created that he’s very excited about.

All this and more on the latest TARDISblend!

This was too brilliant not to share! The folks over at College Humor have prepared an extremely cool video simulation of Series 5 and 6 of Doctor Who if it had been made as a 16-bit video game. You can check out the clip at the bottom of this post.

The CH video contains a lot of allusions and aspects of the major story arcs from the previous two seasons that follow the Doctor’s Eleventh Incarnation (Matt Smith), as he encounters adventures with Amy Pond (Karen Gillan), Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill), and River Song (Alex Kingston). Even David Tennant‘s Doctor gains a cameo at the start for a fun regeneration sequence.
