BBC The Sarah Jane Adventures
has Revealed: SJA Storyteller, create your own Sarah Jane adventures with the storyteller.

Radio Times has Doctor Who: Time Lords are immortal - official, Time Lords could only regenerate 12 times - until now, it seems, when we have Matt Smith starring as the Eleventh Doctor. The rule, established and repeated over 25 years of the show, now appears to have been revoked with an aside in the spin-off show The Sarah Jane Adventures....

SARAH-JANE.tv has The BFI Screening Part One, "...to warm the crowd up our host asked the audience a series of questions to win some great promotional postcards signed by Elisabeth Sladen and Katy Manning, as well as some Merlin merchandise. We were then shown two Classic Who clips featuring Katy and Lis’s departure from Doctor Who to get us in the mood, which I must say nearly brought a tear to my eye."

The Atlantic has The Doctor is In, why a 47-year-old English sci-fi show is suddenly an American hit.

Esperance Express has Exterminate! Exterminate!, just to relax, Mr Warren then decided to build himself a Dalek, “I saw a news report about the death of the man who had designed the Daleks for the Dr Who television show,”...

Two-minute Time Lord has 2MTL 167: The BBC from Distant Shores, and That Big SJA Spoiler, BBC Week continues, with five-year expatriate professor Mark Goodacre, the Resident Alien, talking about his concern over the BBC and drawing a parallel with those dark Doctor Who years that began in 1989. PLUS: A bonus spoiler section at the end, regarding certain revelations from the "Death of the Doctor" Sarah Jane Adventures screening!

WhovianSpy has Chilian army on standby.

My Tardis Years
has Legends of Doctor Who – part three, "for this latest look back at Doctor Who legends gone by, I’ve picked three more who travelled with the Doctor, and who made a very impressive impact, appreciated by fans worldwide."

The Confessions of Who has....



  • War of the Daleks, a kind of sci-fi Space-Ludo with Daleks - the game involves moving card figures around a circular playing area aiming to get to the 'control center' whilst avoiding the Daleks.


  • Tomorrow's World The Daemons recoloured, Tomorrow's World from 1992 having a closer look at the work that was done to recreate the colour version of The Daemons


  • Nearly Who (Part 1), a look at the actors who where nearly Doctor Who.


  • Nearly Who (Part 2), though Patrick Troughton was chosen to replace William Hartnell, Michael Hordern was approached as a fall-back had Troughton turned down the role. Hordern is pictured here in the 1977 BBC production of 'A Christmas Carol'.


Who Fix has Friendly Faces, look into my eyes, my eyes, not around the eyes... (from Cosmic Masque 10), and Tardis Tent, David displays his toybox

alun.vega's posterous has Materialisation begins..., just to note the passing of a little milestone: the first bit of what will become the new Doctor Who studios went up today (Tuesday) on Roath Basin. According to the original plans that were on view to the public last year, it's the tall bit on the left of the pic, between the cranes.

eBay has...


Crafty Tardis has posted I have a Dalek, he's almost 6 feet tall.  He's made entirely of common materials.  He's mostly foam poster board.  Some foam insulation sheet, cardboard, some florist foam a little upholstery foam.  Tape, glue, paint, paper mache, a little plastic canvas, a couple of dowels, a plunger, and a short piece of pvc pipe....

DWAS Online
has posted The Sarah Jane Adventures - "Death of the Doctor", by Tony Jordan (CT Editor), "having been at the BFI screening of the much anticipated Sarah Jane/ Jo Grant/ 11th Doctor story, I would urge everyone to make sure they watch it upon transmission - SJA fan or not, in my opinion, it is a loving tribute to the Barry Letts era and has by far and away the largest amount of fan pleasing references, nods and flashbacks ever seen on television by a country mile, miss it at your peril!"

Den Of Geek has Revisitations boxset DVD review, ...takes a fresh look at three classic Doctor Who stories: Talons Of Weng-Chiang, Caves Of Androzani and The Television Movie. Presented as a seven disc boxset, you can't help but get the feeling that re-releasing stories could be a cynical marketing gimmick. However, the wealth of extra features here makes it worth the investment, whether you're a new fan or an old fan looking to upgrade your DVDs.

Classical Gallifrey
has Serial 108: The Horns of Nimon, for those not in the know (or not paying attention or sleeping or whatever it is people with lives do), Graham Williams took over as producer for Doctor Who after three remarkably popular seasons under Hinchcliffe/Holmes. He was told to change the focus of the show from Gothic horror to something... else. In lieu up with as a suitable alternative, Williams and the BBC agreed to do the old standby: make it funny and focus on the comedic aspects of the show.

Doctor Who Spoilers has Pity the showrunner in 4128AD!, after the BFI screening it has been revealed that The Doctor can now regenerate 507 times, this is revealed quite casually in response to Clyde asking him how many times he can regenerate...
