'Luther' creator Neil Cross to write new Doctor Who S7 episode
The installment, which will air in 2013, is currently filming in Cardiff and will star new Who companion Jenna-Louise Coleman, Doctor Who Magazine reports.
Cross created hit Idris Elba crime drama Luther in 2010 and also served as head writer on Spooks between 2006 and 2008. He is also developing ten-part pirate series Crossbones for NBC.
Mark Gatiss has also confirmed that he will write a 2013 episode of Doctor Who.
“It’s for the new companion, Jenna-Louise Coleman - that’s all I can tell you or I will actually be shot!” he joked.

“Doctor Who,” “Community,” and Cult TV Fans : The New Yorker
Emily Nussbaum says: Cult shows, such as “Doctor Who” and “Community,” often have this quality: they shrug off the condescension that people have toward their “lower” genres, using their constraints to find a greater freedom. When you look at a show like that from a distance, it might seem too narrow to contain much of interest. But it’s so much larger when you’re on the inside.

STARR REPORT - Neil Cross has written a standalone novel “Luther: The Calling”
Neil Cross the writer/creator of BBC America’s acclaimed series, “Luther,” has written a standalone crime novel, “Luther: The Calling,” which will serve as a prequel to the TV series (which stars Golden Globe winner Idris Elba).
“Luther: The Calling,” will be officially published on Sept. 4, giving fans of the show some time to digest its contents before “Luther” returns for its third season in 2013. According to press materials for the book, fans “will see how it all began with the case that pushed Luther over the edge.”
Elba, by the way, won his 2012 Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Mini-Series. The series, co-starring Ruth Wilson, Indira Varma and Paul McGann, premiered in 2010.

Who She Plays: A foxy, barrier-breaking circa-1950s British TV-news producer.
Why Her: Convincingly plays a character much smarter and tougher than you who bangs the guy who played McNulty on The Wire.
Doctor Who Tumblr hits 100,000 followers, Matt Smith says congrats, and everything is perfect.
First, watch the video above. You know, the one we’ve titled ‘DOCTOR WHO TUMBLR YAY EVERYBODY WE REACHED 100,000 FOLLOWERS NOW HERE’S A WORD FROM MATT!’
So now we can finally say it:
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
A year ago we started this Tumblr to celebrate our favorite reblogged fan art, fan posts, gifs, news, and other wibbly wobbly tumblry wumblry stuff. Yes, we’re an official blog but as you can tell, we’re a little different.
That’s because we’re your official blog. The Doctor Who Tumblr is the show as seen through your eyes.
It’s fueled by your love for the Doctor, Amy, Rory, River, Ten, Nine, Donna, Rose, Martha, Sarah Jane, Captain Jack, Sue from Catering, the TARDIS, twelve Jammie Dodgers and a fez.
It’s every character and every story and every relationship and everyone who’s involved in this show that makes this thing.
As Matt Smith once said, the show is much bigger than just him or Karen or Arthur or Moffat or Caro (or David or Christopher for that matter)…. That’s because the show is made up of all of us— from the people who make the show in Cardiff to the people who meet online to share their love for the show worldwide.
And that’s why we’ve always said that the Doctor Who Tumblr is your tumblr. These are your posts and these are your 100,000 followers.
So congrats! And let’s have the Tumblr version of a PARTY!
First: we need decorations! So we asked the AMAZING gif artist that is lulinternet to create a new gif for us:
Awesome, right?
So we took that and made a badge for everyone, you know, in case you want to tell everyone else:
And what else… oh yeah! A prize! As a thank you, we’re sending a prize pack of Doctor Who stuff (thank you BBCAmericaShop.com!) to our 100,000th follower, because, you know, they were lucky and that’s what you do to the 100,00th follower.
But because we also appreciate loyalty, we’re also giving a prize pack away to our very first follower as well. Because, you know, that’s how we roll.
So that’s about it. Sparknotes version: 100k followers, Matt smouldering on camera, awesome gif art, and gifts for being here with us. Also, while Huck is in moral conflict with the received values of the society in which he lives, he ultimately learns that there is nothing more important than friendship. (bad sparknotes joke is bad)
We know there are Tumblr blogs with more followers (we’re looking at you, Beyoncé)…
…and tumblr blogs that post only 10k notes…
… but we are so incredibly incredibly proud of this because it is about you and you truly are the greatest fandom ever.
Thanks for following.
