Article roundup 27th July 2010
The Media surpass themselves once more, this time manipulating a comment by Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock Holmes in the new Moffat/Gatiss vision) into sounding like he turned down the role of the Doctor - fully implying that he was offered the role - when in fact he said he decided not to audition for the role. Sensationalism at its best! Meanwhile Nicky Wire from the Manic Street Preachers had to clarify that the media coverage on him writing a Doctor Who story was also over-hyped, and that he was only writing a story to amuse himself, not on commission from the BBC!

BBC Press Release: The TARDIS lands – Doctor Who returns to the BBC Proms
The TARDIS lands – Doctor Who returns to the BBC Proms
Matt Smith and Karen Gillan host Doctor Who extravaganzas this weekend: Saturday 24 July, 7.30pm-c9.30pm and Sunday 25 July, 11am-c1pm.
Doctor Who returns to the BBC Proms for two family spectaculars, bursting with Daleks, Weeping Angels and of course, the famousTARDIS. The concerts will be hosted by stars from the current series – Karen Gillan (Amy Pond), Arthur Darvill (Rory Williams) and special guest Matt Smith (The Doctor).
The BBC National Orchestra of Wales, who record the soundtrack for the series, present a selection of intergalactic music – includingMurray Gold’s music from the TV show, plus a selection of classical favourites including Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries, Mars from Holst's The Planets and Orff's Carmina Burnana.
Matt Smith says of the Doctor Who Proms: "Utterly nerve-wracking... I think that Murray Gold is incredible, totally incredibly – a genius – and to hear all that in the Royal Albert Hall will just be one of the most soaring experiences."
More than 1,000 standing tickets are released on the day and families are encouraged to come along and Prom for £5. Seated tickets are now returns only.
Doctor Who first came to the Proms in 2008 and the concert dedicated to the hit series proved to be one of the hottest tickets that season. This year the concert returns not once, but twice, as part of the BBC Proms rich programme of family-friendly events throughout the 2010 season. The Proms Plus events on Saturday 24 July give families the opportunity to learn to play the Doctor Who music, and also to learn about the series from the behind-the-scenes staff.
The concert programme can be viewed on the Proms website, providing full details of the concert, the performers' biographies and an interview with Matt Smith and Karen Gillan.
Live pictures will be available on the day.
