io9 has Doctor Who Characters Who Deserve Awesome New Action Figures, "we finally got an awesome gift-set of all eleven Doctors, but there are still plenty of Doctor Who characters who merit their own plastic doppelgangers. From busty companions to penis-headed monsters, here's 20 Who characters who deserve action figures. Geronimo!"

The Chaser has Dalek sick of fans asking him to say ‘exterminate’, the star of the Doctor Who series, Dalek No. 3, says his career has suffered due to his continued typecasting as an extraterrestrial robot.

Total Sci Fi has Sophie Aldred: My So-Called Glamorous Life (Dreamwatch Column), the ever-popular Doctor Who actress writes for Dreamwatch… "I was at a playgroup the other day when I noticed one of the other Mums eyeing me up in a rather strange fashion. ‘Oh no,’ I thought, ‘not Marmite smudges on my cheek again!’ As I furtively dabbed at my face with my sleeve she began to sidle up to me and finally confided sotto
voce and with a hint of pity in her voice, 'Aren’t you the person who used to be Sophie Aldred?'"

Tin Dog Podcast has TDP 148: The Lurkers at Sunlights Edge, starring Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred with Philip Olivier, 1934: the TARDIS lands on a snowy island off the coast of Alaska – one that wasn’t there four years, three months and six days ago, according to the Doctor.

BBC Doctor Who has Happy Birthday Corrie!, a whole host of actors who've travelled the universe with the Doctor were busy in Weatherfield before meeting the Time Lord. Elizabeth Sladen starred in six episodes of Coronation Street in 1970, becoming better known as Sarah Jane Smith three years later. Bernard Cribbins, who played the stalwart Wilfred Mott and Mary Tamm (Romana, companion to the Fourth Doctor) also walked the cobbles before stepping into the TARDIS. Sarah Lancashire found fame in the Rovers Return and later played Miss Foster in the Tenth Doctor adventure Partners in Crime, whilst Suranne Jones -Karen McDonald in Corrie - guest stars in a 2011 episode of Doctor Who.

Two-minute Time Lord has 2MTL 179: Top Gear's Lessons for "Doctor Who USA", Top Gear America's taking it on the chin, dare I say unfairly, from the purist fans of the original. And that helps me predict whether Doctor Who will follow in The Office's footsteps as another BBC property being remade for U.S. audiences.

SFX has Things We Love About Doctor Who Number 9: SEVENTIES JIGSAWS, modern-day jigsaws are dreary – just the same old BBC publicity stills. In the ’70s we saw the delights that result when you hand some jobbing artist a reference photo and leave them to get on with it.

The Edwardian Adventurer has Doctor Who Inspirations – The Scarlet Pimpernel, they seek him here, they seek him there... this is the perfect synopsis for Doctor Who because at its core, this is the scope of the show.

Bigger On The Inside has 'Can’t you imagine an animal unless it’s flesh, blood and bone?’, the next story is variously known as ‘The Daleks’ or ‘The Mutants.’ It introduced one of the most iconic monsters to the series and established that the Doctor and his companions would be exploring realms of pure science fiction rather than just our own history.

Classical Gallifrey has Serial 151: Remembrance of the Daleks, the Doctor has to face Daleks. Always. It's like a rule, and if it isn't, I'm of the opinion that it should be. That's not to say that I approve of Dalek overexposure. I don't. But at least once per Doctor (more possible if he's got a long run), methinks.
