Doctor Who: The Wheel in Space (Alien style trailer), in the 1960s Ridley Scott worked as a set designer and then director for BBC Television. If he had been asked to create a trailer for The Wheel in Space, it might have been like this...

Velvet Jacket has realeased a 2011 Calendar, "I've produced the calendar in A3 landscape format, so it can be hung on the wall. How you bind and hang it I'll have to leave up to you. You may be able to find somewhere that will spiral-bind the pages, or I've marked a couple of punch holes at the top so you can simply hang it with string or pins. Alternatively you could print it at 70% onto A4 or 50% onto A5 for smaller, desktop versions. You can download a PDF of the entire calendar, which should give better print quality. However, due to the large high resolution images, this is rather big, so I've also provided individual JPEGs of each page. I haven't had a chance yet to print out the whole calendar, so if you spot any gaffes or run into any problems let me know and I'll try to help......."
The Daily P.O.P. has Doctor Who Classics -The Sixties, "It’s that time when we bloggers make lists, best of the best compilations and recommendations on various subjects. I’m not much for lists personally. I can be found describing many Doctor Who stories as my ‘favorite,’ which always makes me self conscious because surely one is meant to have only one favorite rather than several. In any case, I have lots of favorites...."
Tea with Morbius has Dating The Seeds of Death: The Miles-Parkin Debate, for fans obsessed with continuity, the dating of The Seeds of Death is a key question. It is one of the few classic series stories that are set in the 21st century. One reason why this is a puzzling question is that one of the companions for this story is Zoe who is also from the 21st century. Is this story set in her past (in which case it is odd that she knows nothing of the events) or is it set in her near future (in which case, is there an older version of Zoe on earth at the same time as 15-20(?) year old Zoe?)?....Tid-Bits...
Design you trust has Dr Who Drawings, amazing work by Jason Fletcher, a london based artist.
Who Fix has Annual Event, from the Doctor Who Annual 1967Review's Roundup...
Tea with Morbius has The Ark in Space, Ridley Scott's Alien movie- We got there first, ...is the first story of the Hinchcliffe era. The first story of Season 12 was produced by Barry Letts, the outgoing producer. The Hinchcliffe era is seen by many fans as a golden era of Doctor Who. I differ from most fans in not holding this period in high regard. I certainly think it is the most consistent period in the show. While it had a few disasters, most notably The Android Invasion, on the whole it maintained high standards. However, the Hinchcliffe was far from as perfect as many fans would have you believe. There was something of an overreliance on borrowing plots from horror movies.....
Doc Oho's Big Finish audios reviews has Fear of the Daleks written by Patrick Chapman and directed by Mark J Thompson, Zoe is starting to remember travelling with a man called the Doctor and recalls the terrifying time the Daleks used her as an assassin…, what a shame that this story should be told from Zoe’s point of view because the writer adopts a very cold and clinical narrative approach that makes it very hard to penetrate the story. Zoe is having lucid dreams, nightmares of monsters and travels in time and space.
Doc Oho's Big Finish audios reviews also has Blue Tooth written by Nigel Fairs and directed by Mark J Thompson, "I suppose that was one of the Doctor's most endearing qualities: the ability to make the bizarre and the terrifying seem utterly normal." When Liz Shaw's friend Jean goes missing, the Doctor and U.N.I.T. are drawn to the scene to investigate. Soon Liz discovers a potential alien invasion that will have far-reaching affects on her life… and the Doctor is unexpectedly re-united with an old enemy…."
planetzogblog has A Christmas Carol review, the main storyline on the planet below though – Christmastime, “halfway out of the dark” – is not just a retelling of Dickens’s A Christmas Carol by the programme Doctor Who, it’s a conscious retelling by the Doctor himself – his plan for making Kazran someone who “suddenly decides to turn nice just for Christmas Day” (to operate the isomorphic control to guide the ship in) is a template from a book he’s read – a book by his old friend Dickens.Podcast Review's...

The Doctor In The TARDIS has Jimmy Vee Returns To Doctor Who, probably best remembered as Bannakaffalatta from Voyage of the Damned, though who has also played characters such as a Graske and the Moxx Of Balhoun, has confirmed in an interview with The Evening Times that he will be returning to Doctor Who in the next series. Unfortunately for us though, no information about his character, whether it be new or returning, has been mentioned and it is as yet unknown which episode he will star in.
