The Official Nintendo Magazine
has Doctor Who: Your questions answered, we know how popular Doctor Who is amongst ONM forum members  so when we had the opportunity to chat to the makers of the forthcoming Wii and DS games (Return To Earth and Evacuation Earth), we thought we'd ask you to pose the questions....

Radio Times has...


The Doctor Who News Page has Filming roundup 18th October, after a quiet start to the episode one/two recording block last week, the cast and crew were finally seen in public once more tonight, with filming taking place at an unfinished building on West Bute Street, at Cardiff Bay. The evening saw scenes taking place with guest stars Alex Kingston and Mark Sheppard.

PaulCornell.com has Exciting Things to Tell You, "...next weekend I'll be going along to the Fortean Times Unconvention at the University of Westminster. On the Saturday at 3pm I'll be talking about 'Fortean Themes in Doctor Who'. And I've found out some interesting stuff, which might well be new to both Forteans and Doctor Who fans."

alun.vega's posterous has Who Watches The Watchmen, "a couple of weeks ago I figured set reporting had turned itself inside out. Tonight, even more so. Guest star Mark Sheppard spotted a group of us fans taking photos of him talking to Twitter's @JanineHJones on West Bute Street. He popped over for a chat, followed by a cameraman from Doctor Who Confidential. DWC  proceeded to record Mark's friendly conversation with us, during which he explained that it was only fair that they should be able to take pictures of us too. Seemed entirely reasonable. Though my head is now starting to spin with who's watching who watching Who...."

Who Fix has Who Cares?, "I thought it was really quite catchy".

Caption Who has posted "we kick off the start for the next thousand pages in this week's update (starting on page 1001)! We wrap up Robot, enjoy a little Torchwood fun with Ghost Machine, then get into The Fires Of Pompeii."

Missions Unknown has Doctor Who Appreciation Night Opens the Pandorica, ...is put on monthly by Doctor Who Fans Unite, head over to the Alamo Drafthouse Westlakes on Wednesday, October 20, 2010 at 7:30 pm, this presentation is free and open to the public.

David Tennant News has David Confirmed For Breakfast Show, he will be co hosting the Absolute Radio Breakfast Show with his pal Christian O'Connell. Absolute have now confirmed that the day David willbe hosting is Thursday 28th October 2010. Tune in from 6am....

The Daily P.O.P. has Doctor Who Classics Sontaran set announced, one of the last alien races to be introduced by the late Robert Holmes, the Sontarans were featured in four televised adventures (not counting the ‘Jim’ll Fix It’ short with Colin Baker).

Paul Magrs has posted Doctor Who – The Coming of the Terraphiles by Michael Moorcock, "...It seems only fitting that years later the worlds collide and Moorcock writes a Who novel of his own. This is like watching a master magician decanting one universe into another. Or a mad scientist with all his flasks and tubes and whatnots bubbling away with frothy alien brews – whizzing them all into a combustive soup."

Milo's Rambles has Doctor Who: The Only Good Dalek – book review, with a slight change of pace from the usual crime fiction and horror-thriller reviews, actually not slight at all, this is a huge change of pace and style – I set about reading and gorging over “Doctor Who: The Only Good Dalek”, a sumptuous and beautiful graphic novel from Mike Collins (Artist) and Justin Richards (Author).

Radio Free Skaro - The Chronic Hysteresis has 7B3 - The Trial of a Time Lord 7, there seems to be a tradition in Doctor Who  where a companion actor/actress who is appearing in his/her swansong story gets a large chunk of the action (with Dodo being the very remarkable exception to this rule). This tradition continues in this story, Nicola Bryant's last, as Peri is finally given something more to do than just persistently whine while working her cleavage into as many camera shots as possible.

Flick Filosopher has “Genesis of the Daleks”, it’s weird to look back at “Genesis of Daleks” now and know that the first time I saw this -- it would have been back in the early 1980s -- I had no idea what the hell a Dalek was. I had only just started watching Doctor Who at that point, when it was beginning to show up on American PBS stations (and would shortly become a staple for PBS for almost a decade). It’s sorta cool that my introduction to the Doctor’s most dogged enemies -- and the universe’s most indestructible homicidal pests -- turned out to be their origin story.

express and star has Dr Who Live cuts it – but only for children, "the only way to enjoy this show properly is to take children. For a lifelong superfan like me it doesn’t really work...."

The Edwardian Adventurer has 001 – An Unearthly Child, in which two school teacher learn that curiosity may not necessarily kill the cat, but it may kidnap it.

Doctor Who Spoilers has....



  • Elizabeth Berrington cast in Who, she is playing the role of Auntie in one of the episodes directed by Richard Clark according to her agency cv.


  • The Cardiff Set Report Marathon (18th October), it began at 08:21 on a cool Autumn morning in Cardiff and if you’d asked anyone how that day would end they’d say that it would end with River Song jumping off a disused building. But I’m getting ahead of myself. The day began when someone spotted that the base had returned to Pierhead Street Car Park and tweeted the discovery and within a few hours the location had been discovered, a location that would undoubtedly delight Rose Tyler:
