29 Dec. Elisabeth Sladen says she wants to wear more leather in the new Sarah Jane Adventures series! >

29 Dec. Doctor Who Tavern page finally updated after 5 years!

28 Dec. Robert Carlyle has been suggested by a UK betting firm as the actor to take over from David Tennant. Sorry, I can't give you the link. It is probably a beat up to get people to visit the g@mb.ling pages. The more people who link to the article, the higher the page will appear in search engine results and the more likely someone will spend money with them. Having said that, if Russell offers Robert the part, he'll take it!

27 Dec. Daleks confirmed for the 1930s New York Doctor Who story. >

25 Dec. Incidentally, a Happy Christmas to all of you at home - William Hartnell - the first Doctor

23 Dec. Doctor Who Annual outsells Beano. >  A lot of news outlets are talking about this but I don't believe the figures are accurate. Waterstones is reporting the amount of books that have been ordered by bookshops and distributors. They're not really reporting books sold *from* UK bookshops as these figures are confidential. I know this because there are Doctor Who Annuals selling in expensive tourist shops on Hamilton Island (a pleasure island near the Great Barrier Reef) Any purchase from Waterstones by a distributor shouldn't be counted if it is competing against Beano. Beano definitely doesn't sell much overseas. Having said that, if you haven't got the Doctor Who Annual yet, get it here!

22 Dec. Doctor Who: The Runaway Bride page updated

22 Dec. The BBC and well-known Bittorrent video download software Azureus have inked a deal whereby thousands of BBC TV episodes can be downloaded for a fee. > NB: The comments for this report suggest Azureus is bloated and slows down your computer. To be clear, Azureus is only for high speed, large hard drive, large Ram, latest windows - computers, not for old clunky computers. So, if you want to pay to download episodes from the BBC that aren't available from other sources, start saving for your new computer now! (Recommended minimum specifications: 4000 Ghz speed,1Gig Ram, 250 Gig hard drives x 2, XP or Vista, and make sure the cooling fans are quiet!))

21 Dec. Torchwood: Combat page updated

21 Dec. New pics showing the half humanoid half spider monster from the Christmas Special >

19 Dec. New spoilers added to the Runaway Bride page

18 Dec. Doctor Who confirmed for 2013! Okay, it's a bit of a stretch but the controller of the BBC has already confirmed that Doctor Who has a long future, David Tennant has already signed up for season 4, and Mark Gatiss is being prepped to take over from David Tennant if he leaves. That means we've got stories until at least 2013! (They wouldn't cancel Doctor Who just before the 50th anniversary, would they?) > Merry Christmas!

17 Nov. Christopher Eccleston - the 9th Doctor - has landed a role in Heroes. He will play a person who is suddenly given super powers and has trouble trying to deal with them.
