Newsround has been activated by the BBC for low-key damage limitation, with the following (slightly spoilery if you don't read...

The DWO WhoCast regenerates!
News Dated: 22/4/2008

The DWO WhoCast is regenerating as Paul and Seb step down.

Listeners of Episode #66 of the DWO WhoCast will have noticed regular presenters, Paul Wilson and Sebastian J. Brook announcing that they are stepping down from the weekly podcast in an emotional shock statement that was fitting to an episode of Doctor Who itself.

The pair have enjoyed an incredible two years worth of WhoCast's together, which has seen them interview countless stars from the show, attract record-breaking listeners (for a fan-made Doctor Who podcast), as well as receiving glowing reviews from both the Radio Times and SciFi Now Magazine.

But the partnership won't end there as both Paul and Seb are working closer than ever on a brand new design for Doctor Who Online, which will see them take the site into a bigger, bolder and exciting direction.

Citing time restraints, the pair passed the torch onto Doctor Who podcasting veterans, Trevor Gensch (from the MMM Commentaries podcast) and Tony Gallichan (from the Staggering Stories podcast).

Listeners can rest assured that the DWO WhoCast is in good hands with Trevor and Tony and that all your favourite features will still be part of the show. Bringing you the latest DWO News and announcements, as well as listener feedback and exclusive interviews and reviews.

Who knows, Paul and Seb may just drop in from time to time...

News: Catherine Tate in Quite Good Shocker

Posted: 21 Apr 2008 07:50 PM CDT

The Times has published a piece by the very talented Caitlyn Moran, in which she reveals that everyone in Britain is thinking: "Oh – Catherine Tate's not that bad, is she?" You may remember that last year, many fans (including a fair few of us at Kasterborous) were resigned to a whingey, noisy performance from a shouty Catherine Tate, an expectation fuelled by her turn in The Runaway Bride - as Moran puts it: "How was Christmas?" people would ask. "OK. Apart from Catherine...
