IT’S DOCTOR WHO DAY in Great Britain.  Twitter is abuzz with comments from those eagerly awaiting the beginning of Doctor Who series seven tonight (which is almost now in Hawaii time).  It’s been a good while since the end of the last series, which saw the mystery of River Song solved and the Doctor all but dead in the eyes of the universe.  Steven Moffat, series runner extraordinaire, has promised that this season will have a more cinematic feel, as evidenced by the episode “one-sheets” you can find here.  The BBC has also produced a series of “shorts” that have aired all week on the internet.  “Pond Life” features some vignettes of how the Doctor and the Ponds have missed connections.  Best moment: Ood on the Loo.  Saddest moment: the final entry’s sobering set-up for tonight’s episode.

Here’s the first installment of “Pond Life.”

You can check out the rest on YouTube or the BBC America site.

And you can read a great, quick interview with Moffat about things Who and Sherlock here.

Doctor Who definitely makes Labor Day Weekend better.
