| Posted: 24 Mar 2011 08:12 AM PDT This year is certainly another good year to be a Doctor Who fan as the amount of merchandise continues to grow! One of the most popular items is of course the BBC's "classic" Doctor Who DVD range which has been stepping up the number of releases over the last couple of years to get the entire existing back catalogue for Doctors one through eight made available to the public on shiny disc format. It's been a busy start to the year in the UK with eight releases taking us up until the end of March 2011 (remember when there used to be one every two months?!) and the same is taking place over in the USA as well, with the BBC stepping up their release schedule for the good American people. With that in mind, anyone who's building their collection of digital Doctor Who in the land of the free might like to know that you've got not one but two releases coming your way in July. Those that were worried that there was only going to be one and that the BBC were going back on their promise of two releases a month, don't panic! BBC and distributor Warner Home Video have announced that the 1966 First Doctor story The Gunfighters will be released with the final Peter Davison story to be released on DVD, The Awakening. Over in the UK, the two releases comprise a box set called Earth Story; whether that will remain the case for the US release is yet to be seen. But rejoice, your collection is almost complete, hooray for that! The Gunfighters will be a single disc release consisting of four episodes. Extras include a commentary, two featurettes, PDF files and the brilliant production subtitles which, as always, offer a fascinating insight into the making of the story. For the Fifth Doctor's adventure, The Awakening, you're going to be treated to three featurettes, audio commentary, extended and deleted scenes, a photo gallery, PDF materials and production subtitles. Both stories will be in full screen format, English mono soundtrack and English subtitles. A release date has been (more or less) confirmed as July 12th 2011 with The Gunfighters costing $24.98 SRP and The Awakening priced at $14.98 SRP but as ever, things are subject to change so keep your eyes peeled. | ||

| Posted: 24 Mar 2011 06:30 AM PDT Writing on his blog recently, Series 6 scriptwriter and fantasy author Neil Gaiman revealed how pleased he was with the final edit of his forthcoming Doctor Who episode. Featuring Suranne Jones and Michael Sheen in guest roles, the episode is scheduled to appear fourth in the new run, expected to begin on April 23rd (although this is yet to be confirmed). Stardust and Sandman creator Neil Gaiman also blogged that the show looked polished:
Gaiman's involvement with Doctor Who sees a continuation of Steven Moffat's policy of using writers who are well-known in other genres. Scripts in Series 5 came from usual suspects such as Mark Gatiss and Toby Whithouse along with big names like Richard Curtis (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill and Love, Actually) and Simon Nye (Men Behaving Badly), | ||

| Posted: 24 Mar 2011 05:38 AM PDT Just how evil is a bust of an already quite menacing statue? If you buy your collectibles on the strength of their evilness (using the standard 1 to 10 scale on the Davros-o-meter ) then this must surely have the highest evil credentials of any toy since Mattel's Pagan Fun Barbie. Modelled on their debut appearance in Blink, the 8" art deco bust is the last in the Doctor Who Masterpiece Collection of finely crafted busts and is beautifully sculpted – setting back anyone brave enough to purchase it £49.99 from special retailers such as Forbidden Planet amongst others August 28th 2011. But just how evil can a bust be? Will it waddle over to you and smash your toes? Will you find yourself, startled out of a deep sleep with the Bust reaching out to grab you? Or in the ultimate act of evil will it transport you back in time and make you buy another one? The only way to find out is to buy one… oh and don't blink. I think that goes without saying. | ||

| Catrin Stewart to appear in Series 6 of Doctor Who Posted: 24 Mar 2011 03:47 AM PDT A recent update on the online CV of Catrin Stewart has revealed that she'll be appearing in Series 6 of Doctor Who. Interestingly, the actress will be playing a character called (highlight to reveal) Jenny in a forthcoming episode, which has led to inevitable speculation for obvious reasons. Of course, we've got no proof either way at the moment, but it's [...] | ||

| Posted: 23 Mar 2011 11:27 PM PDT Hey – have you been to the Doctor Who Bar yet? No?! The Doctor Who Bar is a ever growing group of Doctor Who fans who get together every Saturday from 7.00pm – and watch episodes from the show's 50 or so years. The USP here is that The Doctor Who Bar isn't an actual, tangible bar – instead it is an online group of people that all watch Doctor Who in the comfort of their homes and then discusses it on Twitter as they watch! Episodes (DVD, VCR or online) play at 7.30 pm, and then quotes, reviews, thoughts, ideas and general discussion take place in the Twittersphere using the #DoctorWhoBar hashtag. After the episode, the Twitter discussions then appear on the official Doctor Who Bar website www.doctorwhobar.posterous.com and membersof the group can vote for the next episode they wish to watch the following Saturday! Sounds like a great idea, and the first serial the group will be watching/discussing is Logopolis! The group is also looking out for anyone who might be able to help out in anyway – contact them on doctorwhobar@gmail.com if you are interested. | ||

| Posted: 23 Mar 2011 09:30 PM PDT When he's not impressing the known universe with his writing/producing/general Scottishness Steven Moffat also likes to tease questioning fans via the magic of Twitter. The pestering tweeters have been pressing Doctor Who's Lead Writer and Executive Producer on numerous fronts but the two that perked most fanboys were: Will we see two River Song's in the new series?
The second most intriguing nugget of info comes from a half finished sentence during the Comic Relief Specials Time and Space. Amy's opening gambit to the Doctor seemed to be quite an important point but was soon cut off by a skirt related mishap. Moffat confirmed that whatever Amy was about to say, well, it was quite important:
So if you're not already scrambling back to watch and listen to the specials closely, go now! And then when you've done that, don't forget to follow @KasterborousDW on Twitter, where you will find updates to all of our news and reviews! | ||

| March Podcast 004 - 24 March 2011 Posted: 23 Mar 2011 08:29 PM PDT It's podcast time again. Nick Briggs (irrelevant factoid), David Richardson (doing his emails!), Paul Spragg (ridiculous interruptoid), Alex Mallinson (strange comments guaranteed) and Anthony Lamb (thoughtful dude) are back.

Not a Well Woman (Katy Manning's powerful drama); Pulling Faces (starring Louise Jameson and Colin Baker); In Conversation With An Acid Bath Murderer (Nigel Fairs is terrifying!), and much, much more (listeners' emails)!

| Posted: 23 Mar 2011 07:18 PM PDT If you loved the mini bites of Doctor Who provided by Comic Relief then you'll be tickled positively pink by the announcement that the BBC are airing online prequels – starting with a preamble to the opening two parter The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon. The first part of three planned mini episodes which are aimed at setting up the specific story strands that will ensnare the Doctor over the coming weeks promises to be an eerie sequence set in a White House haunted by the presence of the series new big bad – The Silence. Writen by Steven Moffat and featuring one of the opening episodes stars Stuart Milligan (Doctor Who cartoon Dreamland) the prequel will air on the BBC Doctor Who site on Friday at 4pm. A preview to the Prequel can be seen has already been released. | ||
