TARDISThe TARDIS has materialised on top of Little Dome at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The appearance of the Time machine on the roof of the University located in Cambridge, Massachusetts is a "hack" or a practical joke. The University has a long history of "hacks" including placing a Dark Mark over the Student Center to celebrate the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and placing a Fire Department truck on the roof of the Great Dome.

The Adventure GamesThe third instalment of Doctor Who: The Adventure Games is due to be released tomorrow (27th August), and writer James Moran has written a preview mini-adventure Wish You Were Here.

The BBC website reports:
TARDIS is a dramatic, non-stop story in which you get to take control of the Doctor's time machine and battle a new monster known as the Entity... But if you want to know what the Doctor and Amy are up to immediately before that adventure begins, you can find out now in Wish You Were Here. It's written by James Moran (The Fires of Pompeii, Torchwood) who also wrote the latest Adventure Game. It sets the scene for TARDIS, introduces a new threat faced by the Doctor and leads directly into the action of the game.

You can download the mini-adventure (PDF format) from the BBC website, and find out all the details about the new adventure, screensavers, a 360� panorama, etc. - and of course download from tomorrow - from their TARDIS section.

Briggs in Doctor Who Live

Posted: 25 Aug 2010 09:12 PM PDT

The BBC has issued a press release revealing that our very own executive producer, Nick Briggs, is to appear in Doctor Who Live, the gigantic arena show that will be touring the UK for five weeks during October and November this year.

'When the show was first advertised much earlier this year, I wondered if I might be asked to be involved, since there were Daleks and Cybermen all over the big ads in the newspapers,' explains Nick. 'Then, months later, I did some presenting at a media conference in Sheffield and met the director and producer of the Doctor Who Live show. They told me they would indeed want me to record some voices for them, but the very next day they got in touch to offer me the part of Churchill.'

The tour will take Nick away from his full-time Big Finish duties for eight weeks. 'It's playing merry hell with my Fourth Doctor script-writing schedule, and poor David Richardson is having to do all sorts of re-organizing to accommodate my absence, but we both agreed this was an opportunity I couldn't miss. And naturally, I will be in constant touch with the BF production office by email and phone... and I'll be tap-tapping away on scripts the whole time I'm on tour.'

The star of the show has been announced. Actor Nigel Planer (who many will remember as Neil from The Young Ones), who guest starred in the Big Finish Krynoid adventure Hothouse, will feature as the mysterious owner of the sinister 'minimizer'.

You can find full details of the show at�www.doctorwholive.com.
