Peter Capaldi's Doctor has a bank heist to tackle in Time Heist. Here's our spoiler-filled review...
This review contains spoilers. Our spoiler-free review is here.
8.5 Time Heist
"Basically, it's the eyebrows"
For the first time in the current run of Doctor Who, Time Heist gives us an adventure where the Doctor is the lead character in it. The focus, to date, has seen Clara doing Doctor-y duties, frequently being the grown up who rolls her sleeves up and gets things sorted out. This time, though, Peter Capaldi gets a go. Turns out he's really quite good at it.
It's coupled with a slight re-hardening of his take on the Doctor too. There have been little thawings around the edge of his portrayal here and there over the past couple of weeks, as he continues to work out and get used to his new identity. Here, the character's a bit tougher,...

The last but not least of our Sherlock series 3 round-table interviews from back in April, with John Watson himself, Martin Freeman...
Happily, Martin Freeman will be unavoidable for the next few weeks. First, he's headlining The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, out in the UK and around the world on Friday the 13th of December. Just over a fortnight after that, we'll see him return to the role of John Watson, a man about to have his graveside wish - that Sherlock perform one last miracle and not be dead - granted.
The Holmes/Watson reunion, we're told, will be less about the resolution to the two-year-old question of how Sherlock survived his rooftop fall, and more about John's reaction. No small amount of pressure rests on Freeman's shoulders then, not that it was in evidence as we spoke to him in a round-table interview in April,...

She’s the only character on the show to appear in almost every episode. She’s the Tardis and she’s as important to the series as The Doctor himself. So it’s nice when we get a story that features her in a major way.

Using an illegal magna-grab system, they grab the Tardis, causing a massive overload in the ship, one that flings The Doctor out of the doors, and Clara rolling back deep into its corridors.

Guillermo del Toro is one of my favorite directors because he knows how to tell gripping, human stories in worlds filled with monsters. Just look at his Hellboy movies or Pan’s Labyrinth: both revolve around monsters, but they aren’t horror movies in the strictest sense of the genre. He likes to frighten people, but that isn’t his only goal. They all explore humanity through the use of other worldly creatures. His next project, which is teaming him up with HBO, will take that exploration to a new level as he explores the monsters inside man. Mr. del Toro, you have my complete attention.
Del Toro and HBO are developing Monster, based on the 18-volume Japanese Manga series authored by Naoki Urasawa and published by Shogakukan. According to Deadline, del Toro will co-write the story with Steven Thompson, with Thompson penning the pilot and del Toro looking to direct.

According to Deadline.com, Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy) has teamed up with HBO to adapt Monster, the 18-volume horror Manga by Naoki Urasawa, into a television series. Del Toro will serve as co-executive producer and co-writer on the pilot episode, partnering with Steven Thompson (Dr. Who, Sherlock). Del Toro is also poised to direct the pilot himself. The plot of Monster involves a doctor's search for the world's most evil sociopath, which surprisingly leads him to a 12-year-old boy. The doctor’s decision to save the boy's life sets a series of events in motion that could result in genocide. The project was first conceived as a feature for New Line Cinema, but was ultimately considered too massive a concept for one film. Monster also marks the reunion of del Toro with Angry Films’ Don Murphy and Susan Montford, who had collectively struggled to get Universal to greenlight...

Just months after HBO optioned a Hitchcockian, fifties-set crime series from Guillermo del Toro, the Pacific Rim and Pan's Labyrinth director is working with the network to develop Monster, an adaptation of a Japanese manga series by Naoki Urasawa. Del Toro will direct the pilot and is co-writing alongside Steven Thompson (Doctor Who, Sherlock). The plot details a young doctor's globe-spanning search "for the most evil sociopath that has ever lived. He is a 12-year-old boy, and the doctor’s decision to save his life has unwittingly unleashed a Pandora’s Box that leaves the doc battling to stop a plot of mass genocide." Del Toro initially had Monster in the works at New Line, but the project wound up being too meaty to be confined to a single film. He's also got The Strain in the works at FX.

HBO is looking to get into business with Guillermo del Toro on the Japanese manga adaptation "Monster," while separately setting a premiere date for Christopher Guest's new original comedy series "Family Tree."
The in development "Monster" is based on an 18 volume manga series by Naoki Urasawa following a doctor's worldwide hunt for the most evil sociopath who has ever lived in order to stop a mass genocide. The twist: The maniac is a 12-year-old boy and the doctor had previously given the child life-saving treatment without knowing his true nature.

Man, Guillermo del Toro loves him some monsters. Big monsters. Small monsters. Monsters from your worst nightmare. Monsters from outer space. Monsters from the sewers. Monsters from the bottom of the ocean. Basically, if it’s dangerous and wants to eat/stomp/kill you, Guillermo del Toro has an interest in it. The director’s latest quest for monsters has landed at HBO with a possible ongoing TV series based on the manga “Monster” by Naoki Urasawa. The property, which has already been adapted into an anime series in 2004 (see an intro for the show below), was supposed to be a live-action Hollywood film at some point, but that apparently fell through. Now, del Toro has teamed up with former “Doctor Who” and “Sherlock” writer Steven Thompson to turn the property into an HBO series. “Monster” would chronicle the “worldwide search by a young doctor for the most evil sociopath that has ever lived.

Guillermo Del Toro is collecting jobs like he does comic books.

Del Toro and Thompson will co-wrote the potential series, flinging HBO into uncharted territory. Considering how successful they are at everything else, and the talent involved here, there’s multiple reasons to be massively optimistic about this one.

Even after police found a young girl in a man's basement, it took police nearly a week to discover the bodies of the rest of her family. Mansfield Frazier on the mystery consuming a small town.
Howard Township, Ohio, was a sleepy, bucolic little hamlet nestled in the heart of Knox County, and residents no doubt wish it would have stayed that way. But a strange man from Mount Vernon, a nearby small town, changed all that last week-probably forever.
On Nov. 10, four people went missing: Tina Herrmann, 32, failed to show up for work at Dairy Queen. Her children, Sarah Maynard, 13, and Kody Maynard, 10, were last seen at school on the same day. Herrmann's close friend, Stephanie Sprang, 41, was also missing. There was a large amount of blood inside the Herrmann residence days later, according to initial police reports.
The following Sunday, a Swat team stormed the Mount Vernon home of Matthew J.
