The BBC released a new picture from the upcoming Doctor Who Christmas special, “The Snowmen”, and it gives us a look at an all new console room on the TARDIS! Click the image to embiggen…but I see this as taking a step back to the clean lines and functionality of the original TARDIS console, just without the whitewash of the room. There was always something that bothered me about the hodgepodge of random levers, pumps, etc. of the recent console that just didn’t make sense, other than to give the Doctor a reason to act like a complete madman when flying it…

Following up to announcement we posted previously, Syfy will air the U.K. series K9 in its entirety on Christmas Day, Tuesday, December 25th, 2012 from 10am-11pm ET/PT.

K9 follows the adventures of the robotic canine created by British writers Bob Baker and Dave Martin and first seen in the original 1978 BBC TV series Doctor Who series. The show mixes live action with stunning CG and special effects and pits the robot dog K9 and his teenage friends against a number of human and alien adversaries. The new dog is voiced by the legendary John Leeson, who voiced the original K9 from the 1978 Doctor Who series.

Bob Baker has won a number of BAFTAs for his co-writing of the hugely successful Wallace and Gromit shorts and feature, and together with his business partner Paul Tams, was closely involved in the creation of the new K9 series.

For more information on K9 please visit the show’s website www.k9official.com.

Due to Syfy deciding not to air the scheduled episode of Haven on Friday, and the serial nature of the show, Syfy has also decided to postpone this Friday’s Season 3 finale and air both episodes back-to-back on Thursday, January 17th, from 8pm-10pm ET/PT.

Check out what some of your favorite Syfy say their favorite – and weirdest – gifts on the holidays are, what their New Years resolutions are, and what their favorite holiday specials are! Jaleel White (Total Blackout), Julie Benz (Defiance), Saul Rubinek and Allison Scagliotti (Warehouse 13), Kristen Hager (Being Human), and Rachel Nichols (Continuum).

Because tonight’s scheduled episode of Haven involved violence at a school, in light of recent events Syfy has elected not to air the episode as scheduled. No plans have been made as to if/when the episode will air. The holiday episode of Eureka, “Do You See What I See?” will air in its place.

Speaking about Sam Witwer, catch this video of creator/producer/showrunner/writer Anna Fricke talk about casting the role of the vampire Aidan and Sam Witwer…
