Last month, Lego Cusso announced that submissions for Doctor Who were now welcome on their site with the potential of becoming Doctor Who Lego sets. The project reached 10, 000 supporters earlier this week, meaning that Lego themselves will now review and consider the idea of release Doctor Who-themed Lego toys in the near future, read on for what Lego had to say:
We’re looking forward to considering this project in the Lego Review, but for now excuse us while we go make an electroshock device … just in case this really IS a Nestene plot to take over the world via a toy factory! We now officially advance this project to the Review phase.
What happens now?
This project moves from the Idea stage to the Review stage. A "Lego Review Board" composed of designers, product managers, and other key team members will examine the idea. We’ll build concept models and determine if the concept meets our high standards for what it takes to be a Lego product. This includes factors such as playability, safety, and fit with the Lego brand. Every potential Lego product goes through a process like this and must meet the same standards.
This project qualifies for the Second 2014 Review beginning in May and ending in September.
The review is a thorough process and from its start, and can take several months. When finished, we make a "go/no go" decision to develop and sell a product based on the Doctor Who concept.
When the review is complete, we will inform you of our decision. If green-lit, this project goes into the longest phase of the project; the Development phase. During this time, Lego model designers refine the product and develop it for release, we create the product materials (box, instructions, marketing), and get everything ready for a production run. This also takes several months.
Now that Lego is officially reviewing the idea, it is possible that Lego Doctor Who could become a reality in the near future.
The BBC have announced that Kelly Hawes is to guest-star in the next series of Doctor Who as a new villain for Peter Capaldi's Doctor, read on for further details:
Line of Duty’s Keeley Hawes will join the cast of Doctor Who, following rave reviews for her outstanding performance as DI Lindsay Denton in the hit BBC drama. Starring opposite the Doctor, Hawes will guest star for one episode in Peter Capaldi’s first ever series as the Time Lord.
Set to transmit in the autumn this year, Hawes will play Ms Delphox, a powerful out-of-this-world character with a dark secret. Travelling across space and time the Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and his companion, Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman), will come face to face with the mysterious Ms Delphox when they arrive on a strange and puzzling planet.
Written by Steve Thompson (Sherlock) the episode will be directed by Douglas Mackinnon (Line of Duty, Doctor Who).
Commenting on her role, Keeley Hawes, said: "I am delighted to join Doctor Who and to be working with this incredible team. Ms Delphox is a great character and someone I’ve had a lot of fun playing."
While lead writer and executive producer, Steven Moffat, added: "Anyone watching Jed Mercurio’s amazing Line of Duty will know that Keeley Hawes is having one hell of year. And now it’s about to get even better as she achieves the greatest villainy yet attempted on Doctor Who: she plays a banker."
Series eight of Doctor Who is currently being filmed in Cardiff and will premiere this Autumn on BBC One and BBC One HD.
