The twelfth Doctor is...

Well its not Alex Vlahos like I wanted but its Peter Capaldi. 

I can't say I am thrilled if I'm being completely honest. Whilst I am not a massive fan of the 'ship whouffle' (Clara and Eleven) but I just cant help but feel that the relationship between them will be slightly awkward, at least in the first episodes. However, he could end up having a relationship like Donna and 10 which would be awesome because the Doctor needs a new best friend. I find it slightly odd that he has already been a pretty significant character in the Fire Of Pompeii in series 4, I wonder if they will address this or just sweep over it, I'm not sure. I will keep my judgement until I have seen him in action but he's definitely not who I would have chosen but who knows he could end up being my favourite Doctor yet.

Doctor Who Experience

Today my Dad took me to the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff Bay; I'd been wanting to go for absolutely ages and it certainly didn't disappoint! The interactive part just before you go into the museum section of the Experience was pretty good. It's definitely got some of its ideas from America and their type of attractions but for the younger children I am pretty sure that this part of the experience would be their favourite. I even got to fly the TARDIS which I'm not sure many people could say!

After the interactive part of the tour you go into the museum part where they have all sorts of amazing WHO related props, outfits and models. I've compiled some of the photos I took into small collages because other wise this post would go on forever!

"Don't Blink" 

The Weeping Angels

Cybermen

"EXTERMINATE" 

Daleks

The First to the Tenth Doctors outfits

Various monsters/creatures

The Eleventh Doctor and the various TARDIS'

A Doctor is nothing without his trusty companions

I of course couldn't go to a Doctor Who exhibition without making some purchases and so I brought a small Dalek to put on my bookshelf (well, after I've stopped being a five-year-old and playing with it), a small Cyberman (which was only a £1 in one of those little machine things), a fridge magnet for my dad and a TARDIS poster.

If you are ever in the area and you are a Doctor Who fan, I strongly recommend you take a visit, its well worth it!

What's on my birthday list?

Over the course of the last month or so I have compiled a list of items that I really want for my birthday. I of course, don't expect to get all of this but if I don't I shall buy it with my own money.

Merlin: the Complete Guide

I love books like this that are companions to the show as I feel that it gets you to know the characters better. Probably going to buy this myself when I get my birthday money because its weird pricing on Amazon and the cheapest is on Random House for some reason, so yep, I am excited to get my paws on this.
*edit* I just purchased this as I simply couldn't wait any longer!

Doctor Who: Who-ology

It is said that this is a must have for fans of the show: I am a fan of the show therefore I must have it. Again as I have said before love books like this and I think that will be be really cool to read more about the older generations of the Doctors and I know for sure that my dad will be borrowing this off me!

The Sims 3: University Life (PC DVD)

Yes, I know, I'm a child but I love the Sims and once I start playing I get completely hooked. I really enjoyed this expansion pack in Sims 2 and so I'm hoping its just as good for the Sims 3.

Downton Abbey: A Journey to the Highlands (Christmas Special 2012) [DVD]

This is something I must insist I get and is top of my list. I have waited this long so that the price can come down, but I simply cant wait any longer. I need to get my fix of Downton Abbey!

Doctor Who Tardis Door Poster 53x158cm

My room is completely covered with posters and as of yet I don't have any Doctor Who posters, so what's a better start than to have the TARDIS on my door?

Merlin Top Trumps

Top Trumps is my game, I am great at it. I always start bad then end up winning so I think that these will definitely be welcomed into my collection of top trumps. I also love playing them on holiday with my mum and dad so this will be a lot of fun on the plane. 

THE ADVENTURES OF MERLIN ACTION FIGURES - SET OF FOUR

These are ridiculously overpriced for what they are, I am perfectly aware of this. I am also aware of the fact that they are toys and I'm going to be sixteen, however, I want them to join my Harry Potter figures on my bookshelf.

And that's about it! As you can see I really am never going to grow up and this list is only confirming this, am I bothered? Not really. I can't wait for my birthday and I hope I get something on this list from any of my family or whoever else gets me a present. :-)
