April sees the final Pertwee tale Planet of the Spiders released as a two disc edition, whilst May goes back to the beginning of his era as the Doctor with a new edition of Spearhead from Space, coupled with sequel tale Terror of the Autons as part of the Mannequin Mania boxed set; also in May comes the penultimate Davison story to be released on DVD, Frontios (the final release of this era, The Awakening, is due later in the year). See our separate article on next week's Revisitations 2 release.The company has also been keeping readers appraised via their twitter feed, which has included the following tidbits: 12 14:16 Frontios test disc in! http://t.co/Px8HoJU Planet of the Spiders Release Date: 18th April 2011 (available for pre-order)  Starring Jon Pertwee as Doctor Who, with Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane SmithWritten by Robert Sloman/Barry Letts Directed by Barry Letts Broadcast: 4th May - 8th June 1974 What begins as innocuous research into ESP turns into a deadly mind battle, with the terrifying spiders from the planet Metebelis Three pitted against The Doctor, his friends and Time Lord K'Anpo. At a Tibetan-style spiritual retreat deep in rural England, a clandestine circle of chanting brethren unknowingly call upon the evil powers of the Metebelis Spiders, whose quest for the perfect blue crystal leads them straight to the Doctor. He must travel to the alien planet to meet the Great One, merciless ruler of her spiders and human slaves, who plans to take over Earth. The future of the entire universe is in the Doctor's hands, but if he is to face the fear the Great One sees in his mind, then he must face the certainty of total destruction. Could this be the Time Lord's final death? Special Features Disc One:
Mannequin Mania Release Date: 9th May 2011 (available for pre-order) Spearhead from Space Starring Jon Pertwee as Doctor Who, with Caroline John as Liz Shaw Written by Robert Holmes Directed by Derek Martinus Broadcast: 3rd-24th January 1970 The Doctor is exiled to Earth in the late 20th Century by his own people - the Time Lords. The newly regenerated Doctor finds himself in Oxley Woods alongside a shower of mysterious meteorites. Investigating these unusual occurrences is the newly-formed United Nations Intelligence Taskfoce led by Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. UNIT are soon called into action when people and meteorites start going missing but puzzling of all is the attempted kidnapping of a strange hospital patient - a man with two hearts, who insists that he knows the Brigadier... The new Doctor soon joins forces with his old friends, UNIT and the recently recruited Dr Liz Shaw, but time is running out. Special Features
Terror of the Autons Starring Jon Pertwee as Doctor Who, with Katy Manning as Jo Grant Written by Robert Holmes Directed by Barry Letts Broadcast: 2nd-23rd January 1971 Earth is in terrible danger. The Master has arrived with an evil scheme to destroy humanity and silence the Doctor forever by awakening the awesome power of the Nestene - a ruthlessly aggressive alien life form. With their control over all types of plastic, they form into faceless automatons, a willing army of destruction easily controlled by the evil Time Lord himself. Aided by the Brigadier and his enthusiastic new assistant, Jo Grant, only the Doctor can combat their evil power, but this is easier said than done when every plastic doll, phone flex, or chair can be turned against him. First, however, he must defeat the Master. Special Features

The colonists are gripped by fear and paranoia as the planet is battered by attacks from space and they watch as the bodies of their dead are sucked into the ground. But the Doctor only appreciates the true gravity of the situation when he finds that the TARDIS has been destroyed... Special Features

| Posted: 25 Mar 2011 08:10 AM PDT Well, it's taken quite a bit of work to get this far, but I am delighted, ladies and gentlemen, to announce the return of the Kasterborous podKast (with a "K", remember?). It is a remarkable that we started with the very first one back in 2007, and in the intervening years it is fair to say that we have been summarily trumped by Podshock and DWOCast who regularly issue good quality and compelling podcasts. Except… they're not Kasterborous, are they? Now the story of our 10th podkast (with a "K", yeh?) is an interesting one that goes back to September last year. At the time of his trip to the UK, Brian A. Terranova and myself had hoped to record a lot of traditional podkast material, but sadly this didn't transpire. This is one of the dangers of running a website between two different timezones. So prompted by our own Patrick Riley – who might well be launching a side project of his own in the future or at the very least teaming up for the new podKast paradigm (as I've been rather pretentiously, yet satisfyingly, describing it) – we've pushed on with a slightly different take on the traditional Kasterborous podKast (with a… oh sod it). We're breathing new life into the old girl with what we hope will be a team approach. Patrick and Brian will hopefully be taking part at some point in the not too distant future (along with any other Kasterborous team members who happen to be free and on Skype) but this time around I'm very happy to announce the first podKast in a very long time presented by myself with admirable support from podcasting veteran James McLean, the powerhouse behind the Millennium TV show campaign podcast BacktoFrankBlack. Big thanks must go to James for editing down our first chat about Doctor Who – we'll be bringing you more podKasts in the near future with a selection of interesting interviews. In the meantime, join me as we get to know newcomer James McLean in the first of what we hope will be a regular new Kasterborous Doctor Who podKast! | ||

| Posted: 25 Mar 2011 06:25 AM PDT Well, it's all hotting up! By now you should have seen the teaser trailers and today's prequel to The Impossible Astronaut and discovered the relevance of the phrase "look behind you" – so now is the time to ask, just what is happening here… Below we've got two images from the recent BBC teaser clips for the new series of Doctor Who, featuring the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) and an astronaut.
Or is it?
Could it actually be that the clip features the Doctor, an astronaut and some other, bizarre and as yet unidentified creature, hiding over the Doctor's right shoulder? Now obviously Doctor Who Series 6 is just a few weeks away now, and we wouldn't want to spoil anything for you, but these images are taken from a trailer for the series, potentially shown in two different locations in the UK. What is particularly interesting is that some versions should show the grey-style alien (a Silent?) while others don't… | ||
| 6.1: The Impossible Astronaut - Prequel Posted: 25 Mar 2011 05:35 AM PDT The BBC Doctor Who website have now uploaded a prequel video for 6.1: The Impossible Astronaut.

Prequel to The Impossible Astronaut, via the BBC Doctor Who site (may not play outside the United Kingdom) You can also watch a teaser for the video on the BBC website.

The special prequel for The Impossible Spaceman has been launched at the official BBC Doctor Who website, and features Stuart Milligan as former US President Richard Nixon… There really is little more to say, other than: hit play!

| Posted: 25 Mar 2011 02:39 AM PDT  Day 17. One day I'll be rid of it. One day. If you'd like to help spur me on, do click on the widget top right. We're nearly there! To sample from your comments on that page: Christian, I absolutely, definitely, promise not to let the beard eat you. Thanks, my lovely editors, Wil Moss and Dave Bradley, for your donations. And Nightsky, the beard says it will indeed spare you. Thanks, everyone. I look forward to seeing some of you at my signing at Chaos City Comics in St. Albans tomorrow, from 1pm. I've done an interview about it (and my writing in general), for the Herts Advertiser. And you can see three preview pages of what we're mainly talking about (I think that's as many as we dare show for fear of giving the game away), that is, Action Comics #899 here. I hugely enjoyed C2E2 in Chicago. What a brilliant audience, many of whom hadn't been to a comic convention before. I signed and signed and signed, notably an enormous combat spoon, and did many interviews, of which this first video one is up, with Newsarama. The beard takes on a life of its own in that. It's like they've captured bigfoot. Also out of the blocks is the (thankfully on audio) Word Balloon Comics Podcast. The lovely Gene Ha has many pictures from the convention floor, and also from the dinner we shared with Bill Willingham and the invited guests of Fables. That was a brilliant night, as was the one where the Middleman crew met the Chicks Dig Time Lords crew. And there was much partying, and much random wandering of halls and bars and room parties. It was great to be on the DC panels as well, and to meet so many new friends. Thanks to one lady's generosity, I now have a Shaun of the Dead cricket bat, which I have promised to somehow use for the beard appeal. I await your suggestions. Speaking of conventions, at the forthcoming Kapow Comic Con in London, I'll be part (alongside many other creators) of an attempt to set the record for 'Most Contributors to a Comic Book'. Should be fun to do something like that with an official from the Guinness Book on hand. On Sunday, I'm off up to Manchester, to record my new horror play for BBC Radio 4, 'Something in the Water'. I'll do my best to get cast photos and stuff. It's meant to be on sometime this autumn, and is produced/directed by the wonderful Nadia Molinari, who also did 'The State of the Art'. Anyway, must dash, so until I see you in my travels, Cheerio!  | ||
| Exhibition in Cardiff to close its doors this weekend Posted: 25 Mar 2011 02:35 AM PDT This weekend marks the end of an era in Cardiff as its Doctor Who Exhibition will be closing its doors. The exhibition – which has been visited by over 500,000 people since its launch – will be closing this Sunday to make way for the Doctor Who Experience, which is to be relocated to the city in 2012. However, as Wales Online reports, Graham Jones, who runs [...] | ||
| Cardiff Exhibition Closes this Weekend Posted: 25 Mar 2011 02:12 AM PDT With the Easter holidays just around the corner tourists from all over the world will be flocking to the Doctor Who Exhibition in Olympia, London generating a healthy revenue stream for BBC Worldwide and the surrounding area. While the revenue for the soon to be closed Doctor Who Exhibition at the Red Dragon Centre, Cardiff Bay will still be spooling into BBC Worldwide's account, one place it won't be helping to improve the economy is the area now most synonymous with Doctor Who: Cardiff. This Sunday sees the exhibition open its doors for the last time – to be replaced in 2012 with a new Doctor Who Exhibition at a different site. The year long gap between competing exhibitions means that the Cardiff Bay area will lose out on thousands of pounds in tourists money. The site has drawn more than half a million visitors since it opened in 2006. One person not taking this lightly is Graham Jones, who currently runs the Doctor Who display at Cardiff:
Graham is aghast at the BBC's decision to close the centre during one of its busiest periods:
A BBC Worldwide spokesman said:
What do you think of the closure? Did anyone have plans to go to the Cardiff Bay Exhibition over Easter? (via Walesonline) | ||
| Posted: 25 Mar 2011 01:46 AM PDT  John Barrowman and Bill Pullman will be promoting the new series of Torchwood at the MIPTV Media Market in Cannes. The two stars will be joined by executive producer Julie Gardner to launch Torchwood: Miracle Day to buyers on Monday 4th April.Steve Macallister, Managing Director of BBC Worldwide Sales & Distribution, commented: We're thrilled to have John Barrowman and Bill Pullman with us at MIPTV. The fact that Torchwood: Miracle Day is able to attract such a high-calibre, international cast reflects the quality of the production – so it's sure to prove popular with buyers again, along with the rest of our exciting drama slate. | ||

| Posted: 24 Mar 2011 09:21 PM PDT The States is getting a myriad of Doctor Who goodness over the next few months, more DVD releases, a brand new magazine – Doctor Who Insider – and recently announced are a few Doctor Who faces from behind the scenes that are going to be appearing at the Wondercon event in San Francisco on April 23rd 2011 – the same day Series 6 premieres on BBC America! The panel is made up of Neil Gaiman, Mark Sheppard, Toby Haynes and moderator Chris Hardwick. Gaiman needs no introduction except to say that apart from the huge body of work that he's produced for the fantasy and sci-fi world over the last few decades will now be just as well-recognised in the UK for Doctor Who episode he has written for Series 6. Mark Sheppard, who has appeared in The X-Files, CSI: Las Vegas, 24 and Chuck will be talking about his appearance in the first two episodes of Doctor Who's 2011 series as a character called Canton. Toby Haynes has directed the last three episodes of Doctor Who including The Pandorica Opens, The Big Bang and A Christmas Carol. Wondercon will be an amazing event for not only Doctor Who fans but for everyone with an interest in television shows, comic books and movies. You can find out more about it by visiting www.comic-con.org the event itself will begin on 1st April 2011 and end on 3rd April 2011 so for the love of heck-book your ticket now! | ||

Developers for the game have just launched a new expansion entitled English Countryside, and one of the gifts players can receive for qualifying for this level is a Police Box to place somewhere on their farm.  | ||
| Episode 2: Day of the Moon for Easter Sunday? Posted: 24 Mar 2011 07:18 PM PDT  Since the announcement by BBC America that Doctor Who would premier in the USA on the 23rd April, speculation has been rife within UK fandom as to when The Impossible Astronaut would premier on BBC1. This is widely expected to be broadcast on the same date as the States, based upon the 'traditional' Saturday evening series start to Doctor Who seen to date.Being this is the first time the series is to commence with a two-part story, the second episode Day of the Moon has also been subject to intense speculation as to whether it too would be shown over the Easter period. An intriguing piece of information has emerged via the CV of actor John Mash; as well as being cited as playing a character called Grant in the episode, the CV also includes an entry that states that episode two will be broadcast on 24th April.   This entry certainly lends credence to the suggestions that both parts would be shown over Easter!However, at this time the BBC have only confirmed via the end of the Red Nose Day special that The Impossible Astronaut will see its premier on BBC1(HD) over Easter 2011. Schedules are generally not 'locked' until around a fortnight before broadcast, so any information published via the Internet prior to then may not accurately reflect how the show will eventually be broadcast. | ||
| Posted: 24 Mar 2011 11:00 AM PDT The new series begins at Easter with The Impossible Astronaut by Steven Moffat. But before that we have an exclusive scene |
