And just to prove it, here's a podlet (a teeny-tiny podcast) in which Nick Briggs, David Richardson and Paul Spragg attempt to explain it all for you.

It's in Barking, near London (it's on the District Line, London Underground!) and you can find full details of the event at tenthplanetevents.co.uk.

| Posted: 06 Jun 2011 06:20 AM PDT  Doctor Who took the top three places of the most requested programmes on the BBC iPlayer in May.Top of the chart was the Neil Gaiman written episode, The Doctor's Wife, which was requested over 1.22 million times during the month. Close behind was The Curse of the Black Spot with 1.21 million requests and Day of the Moon with 1.18 million requests. The highest non Who programme was The Apprentice Episode 2 which came in fourth with 1.18 million requests. The Rebel Flesh was fifth with 1.10 million requesting and The Almost People crept into the top ten with 0.84 million requesting, dispite only being available for the last four days of the month. The most requested programme this year is still Episode 2 of the Matt Lucas, David Walliams comedy, Come Fly With Me which has been requested 1.86 million times. Hot on its heals is The Impossible Astronaut with 1.79 million requests so far, needing just another 70,000 before it goes off line at the end of this week to take the top place. Day of the Moon is currently 6th for the year. Nothing has yet come near toppling the Matt Smith début episode, The Eleventh Hour, which still holds the record for the most requested programme ever with over 2.5 million requests. | ||

Are you a youngster (for real or at heart) wishing to expand the number of desperate predicaments your micro-figure Doctor finds himself in even though all you've got to challenge him is one measly Dalek? Fret no more! Now you've got a much better shot at exterminating, deleting, or time-displacing our hero with Character Building's bags of five Daleks, Cybermen, or Weeping Angels! Sorry, is this reading like a TV advert? Lets be honest here; these Army Packs won't really get you anything new or particularly exciting at all… they're just more of the same product in a slightly different shrinkwrap. And it's not clear at the moment whether the Army Pack Daleks will be available in a color that isn't red. But if you and/or your kid feels a need to add to your/his/her collection of miniaturized editions of Doctor Who's deadliest, and you're willing to pay a tenner for five of the same thing, then by all means stop by your neighborhood Forbidden Planet and expand your set! One catch though – you won't be able to do that until at least July 1st, when the packs arrive in the Forbidden Planet warehouse. If you're really, really excited about these things, you can always fork over £9.99 for an online pre-order… but quite frankly we don't expect them to sell out on the launch date.

| Posted: 06 Jun 2011 02:09 AM PDT Careening onto the stage in a Union Jack clad golf buggy is one way to make an entrance. Naturally for a Shakespeare veteran David Tennant received the bulk of praise for Josie Rourke's go-go 80's update of William Shakespeare's comedy Much Ado About Nothing. The adaptation, half high art, half sitcom pilot, sees the former TARDIS bound duo of Tennant and Catherine Tate reunited on stage as warring anti-lovers Benedick and Beatrice. The Daily Express like most reviewers found much to love in Tennant's versatility:
The Independent also praised Tennant's caddish portrayal of Benedick but couldn't muster much enthusiasm for the 'over-interpreted and insufficiently thought-through' update nor Tate's 'laddette' taken on his sparing partner Beatrice:
Its seems a little churlish to have a go at a populist interpretation of the play for using someone with such a large cultural cache of catchphrases and characters for doing exactly what she was cast for. Have they not seen The Catherine Tate Show? The Daily Telegraph also had reservations about Tate, referencing ever misogynistic Tory's favourite advert:
The Guardian tempers its reservations over the one-note adaptation of the play that misses the desperation of the characters, and a convincing union for the two stars with slight praise for the obvious fun reunited couple seem to be having:
The 'but' after that paragraph is again the production whose switch to 1980's Gibraltar was praised for creating a heady atmosphere for the sparing couple but was criticised for adding little to the audiences understanding of the play.

| Inquest into Death of Terry Nation's Agent Posted: 06 Jun 2011 12:54 AM PDT Roger Hancock, agent to Dalek creator Terry Nation, who also represented his brother, the legendary comedian Tony Hancock, has died in 'unnatural circumstances' reports the Daily Telegraph. Both the Hancock brothers played a small but crucial part in Doctor Who's history. Terry Nation had written for the show Hancock until he was fired by Tony- enabling him to join Doctor Who which he had previously refused to do. While Roger Hancock was instrumental in negotiating with the BBC over the use of the Daleks resulting in the Terry Nation estate retaining the power to choose which Dalek stories can be transmitted on television. Hancock's death has become tangled in bureaucracy following changes to protocol following the Harold Shipman murders. Anybody whose death has been ruled 'unnatural' has to have both an autopsy and an inquest leaving his son, Tim, who has run the agency since Roger unofficially retired in 1996, to find a way through the 'red tape nightmare'. Rogers death came as a result of a series of falls and occured on the same day one of his clients, the Only Fools and Horses writer John Sullivan, also passed away after a viral infection. Tim Hancock paid glowing tribute to his father:
You can get an idea of the role Roger Hancock played in Terry Nation's career from the recent book by Alwyn Turner, The Man Who Invented the Daleks – The Strange Worlds of Terry Nation. | ||

| Posted: 05 Jun 2011 11:46 PM PDT  Doctor Who: A Good Man Goes To War had an Appreciation Index, or AI score of 88, the joint highest of the series so far.The AI is a measure of how much the audience enjoyed the episode. The score was the highest of the day on the two main channels with only Dad's Army on BBC Two and Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King scoring higher, albeit with lower audiences. The Sunday BBC Three repeat had 0.66 million watching, with an additional 0.05 million watching on BBC HD. Sunday saw two programmes score higher ratings than Saturday's Doctor Who, pushing the programme into 30th place for the week. Official ratings should be released next Monday which will include those time-shifting the episode, and should see the programme in a much higher position in the charts. Saturday's Doctor Who Confidential had an audience of 0.56 million with 0.02 million watching on BBC HD. | ||

| Posted: 05 Jun 2011 10:55 PM PDT Smashing news for any who mourn the loss of various episodes from the 60s era of Doctor Who – The Reign of Terror, the final story of Season 1 (and the second story chronologically to have long-gone components after Marco Polo 100% of which is missing in action) is to have its two departed sections animated! Respectively titled The Tyrant of France and A Bargain of Necessity, Parts 4 and 5 of The Reign of Terror contribute to the story that saw the first use of location shooting in our favorite show and originated the concept of the Doctor in a "cool" hat that puts the fez to shame, and were previously only available in audio form with the option of an accompanying photo reconstruction. 2|Entertain announced the animation would be included in the upcoming DVD release of the story, scheduled for sometime next year, on their Twitter page, while further commenting on who else is involved:
Big Finish is, of course, the well-known team behind countless Doctor Who audio adventures, while Theta-Sigma, the real name behind the "Thetamation" Twitter account, is run by Austen Atkinson, who seems to have a background with all the major UK TV networks and several US cable ones. This is a particularly welcome development not only for those members of our forums who were only just recently discussing how wonderful it would be if stories like The Reign of Terror was brought back to life in such a manner, but for anyone in favor of a complete visual experience of Doctor Who. Do join us now in the act of shouting, "We can't wait for 2012!" | ||
| Posted: 05 Jun 2011 10:42 PM PDT  As previously reported, this week sees a special offer running from Big Finish in which the first 50 classic Doctor Who adventures are on sale during the week, leading up to their convention in Barking at the weekend.The sale runs each day from midnight to midnight (UK time), with today seeing the first ten available as both CD or download at the reduced price of £5.00; tomorrow sees the next ten adventures in the promotion, and so on throughout the week. See the Big Finish website for full details. | ||
