News: TARDIS USB Hub

Posted: 04 Sep 2009 10:09 AM PDT

The Wesco Doctor Who TARDIS USB 4 Port Powered Hub Station is the official USB device licenced by the BBC - and although it's been around for a while it still makes a great gift! Standing at a desktop-perfect size of 11cm x 6cm x 6cm, this is a 4 port USB hub designed to match the Police phonebox from the TV show which houses a 4 port USB hub, with 2 USB slots on opposing sides. With a reasonable likeness to both the series prop and the wood finish, the device - which comes with a cable...

Moore Bond in Doctor Who?

According to various news outlets, veteran James Bond actor, Roger Moore has been quoted saying that he would be available to guest star in Doctor Who after learning of his fellow Bond star, Timothy Dalton appearing in the series later this year. 

Timothy Dalton stepped into the James Bond role after Roger Moore left the starring role in ironic spy action film series in 1987.

Moore is quoted in saying, "I believe Timothy is to appear in one of the new episodes, so if they ever want anyone to play his dad, I'm available."

In the clutches of the Master

Well, the Dear Husband, the TARDIS and I made the trip successfully from Denver to Atlanta and set the TARDIS up next to the Grand Ballroom on the third floor of the Sheraton.

I was all prepared to stay and ride herd on her until Billy showed up and insisted that I go along to the Eric Roberts panel with him.

The lovely DH agreed to watch over the TARDIS, so I went.

When we got there, I shared with Billy how I'd tried twice earlier that day to get Eric Roberts autograph and had not been successful due to Eric's un-explained absence.

Billy then shared with me his curse-- he'd tried to see Eric Roberts three times before and each time, Eric had cancelled at the last minute.

He was pretty sure Eric Roberts was once again not coming.

We were entertained by the lovely Lars Pierson of Mad Norwegian Press fame while we waited.
