Michael Scott will not return to work

Much to fans dismay and disbelief, Steve Carell has announced that he will not be making an appearance in the final, ninth season, of The Office (US). There has been a lot of talk about the topic lately, as more stars are announcing return cameos, even David Denman (Roy) has appeared in an episode, with B.J Novak (Ryan) and Mindy Kaling (Kelly) both planning on reprising their roles for an episode.

Carell had previously stated that he had no plans to return, even for a cameo, when he left back in the seventh season. Being asked about a return now that the series was due to end, he had the following to say.

"I just didn’t think it was right for the character, because that character had had an arc within the story and kind of grew and sort of evolved past the idea of the documentary.
I’m really good friends with everybody on the cast and with [executive producer] Greg Daniels and I want to go back [to the set] to say, ‘Hi,’ certainly, before it all ends, but I just thought, in terms of the character, it didn’t make sense."

So Michael Scott has already had his swan song, now it's time for The Office itself to have its own. In the final episodes, the cameras will be turned and we will get to see the film crew that has been "documenting" their workplace from day one. Series creator Greg Daniels said that the next few episodes are really the beginning of the end, where they pick apart whats going on with the "documentary" and who is actually behind the whole thing.

On a more personal note, the end of this series will be heartbreaking for all of us at Done Did It, remaining one of our favourite shows to this day. Some of us have even watched the show from the beginning, and the next couple of months will be quite a strain, seeing a show we've followed for nine years come to a close. Losing Carell in season seven was a big blow to the show, and some feel it has lacked a little this past year. Will this final season be its redemption? We look forward (albeit sorrowfully) to finding out come March.

Doctor Who due for Easter Return

Daleks beware, the seventh season of Doctor Who Part 2 starts again on Easter Saturday, March 30th on BBC and will continue with the rest of the season throughout the year. Season 7 started way back in 2011, and in true Whovian fashion on Christmas day itself. There was a large break however due to the teams other commitments, until September 2012 when the season picked back up. Fun fact, Season 7 is the first season to span over two Christmas specials!

The latest episode was 2012's Christmas special The Snowmen where we are introduced to the doctors latest companion, although not in the way that we have come to expect over the years.

2013 also marks the 50h anniversary of the show, with writers promising a huge year to celebrate the occasion. In the anniversary spirit, New Zealand Mint, in association with the BBC are making a series of collectible coins to mark the occasion. All eleven actors that have portrayed the doctor up until this point will be commemorate in coin form, and they can be pre-ordered from the New Zealand Mint site here newzealandmint.com. The coins will be officially launched at the World Money Fair in Berlin on the February 1st, and come inside 3D model replicas of the Tardis (Time and Relative Dimension in Space) that plays the ships well known materialisation sound when opened.

Zombieland comes back to life

Much to fans dismay, the 2009 Zom-Com Zombieland will not be getting a sequel anytime soon. However, we wont be saying goodbye to the Zombie Apocalypse World just yet. The original Zombieland screenplay was in fact written as a television show pilot, as much as it was reworked into a feature film, the script kept much of the TV features to it, like "Zombie-Kill of the week" for example.

The project was originally undertaken by Fox, presumably to combat AMC's hugely successful The Walking Dead series, but now reports are in that the series will more than likely be heading to Amazon, who have been working hard on original series for their video streaming service. It's thought that this is a good move for the site, and for the show, as they could possibly get away with much more gore than would be allowed on Fox programming.

The show will be blending familiar characters, with new characters blended in, although no information has been released in regards to casting yet, its highly likely that the movie cast will not be appearing here so prepare for some re-casting here. Rumours are saying that the original characters will only be used to frame the world and allow us to meet the new characters, so more of a cameo. But nothing is in stone as of yet.

New Year, New Tardis, New Tune, Same Doctor!

The Tardis is so pretty! The doctors transport has been revamped again in time for the shows 50th anniversary next year. The Tardis (Time and Relative Dimensions in Space) has changed a few times over the last few years, usually with each of the doctors and their regenerations. The Doctor will be returning on Christmas day with the christmas special "The Snowmen" with a new look tardis as well as a brand new opening sequence and theme song. The 50th anniversary season is being hyped to be one of the biggest seasons yet, and this christmas special will give the best idea for what is to come in the following year. Just quietly I AM KEENER THAN A MOESUCKRA!
