The story is written by Steven Moffat and is scheduled for Saturday 19th June. The Doctor's friends unite to send him a terrible warning; the Pandorica – which is said to contain the most feared being in all the cosmos – is opening, as the time travelling drama continues.

The coverage starts at 6.15pm and runs right to 9.15pm right across Doctor Who's time slot although the actual match doesn't start until 7.30pm, just as Doctor Who finishes. There is more sport on BBC Two, which is showing Formula 1: Canadian Grand Prix Qualifying, live coverage from Montreal.

Titan Publishing is pleased to announce the launch of Torchwood comic, based on the hit BBC America show. Acclaimed artist Tommy Lee Edwards, currently working with outspoken TV personality Jonathan Ross on the hit comic series Turf, has teamed up with John Barrowman (Torchwood's Captain Jack) and his sister and frequent coworker Carole E. Barrowman, to produce Captain Jack and the Selkie. Captain Jack and the Selkie is one of two original Torchwood stories in issue #1 and sees Jack facing a deadly threat on a remote Scottish island, where people are disappearing one by one. To his horror, Jack starts to suspect he may know who, or rather what, is responsible. Barrowman is overjoyed to have worked with Edwards, who he describes as one of his favorite artists. The pair began their collaboration when Barrowman and his sister Carole came across a poster of Captain Jack at the 2008 San Diego Comic Con.
Artwork for Broken is provided by Adrian Salmon, whose work includes The Cybermen for Doctor Who Magazine and Judge Karyn for the Judge Dredd Megazine. Two collectible covers will be available for each issue – an art cover and a picture cover. British comic book artist Ian Churchill, whose work includes Superman for DC Comics and Avengers, Deadpool, and X-Men for Marvel, has drawn the art cover for issue #1. An alternate art cover, also drawn by Churchill, will be available exclusively at this year's San Diego Comic Con. Available from all good retailers and specialist comic stores.

Each issue will feature two collectible covers, one of artwork and the other picture-based. Cover art for Issue One is by Ian Churchill, and there will be an exclusive third version by Churchill at this year's San Diego Comic Con.

| Adventures in time and space (just not outside the UK) Posted: 02 Jun 2010 11:00 PM PDT Well, those fans in North America hoping to try out the whizzy new videogame, City of the Daleks, which was just released yesterday are going to be disappointed… it ain’t available to North Americans. Ok. I’ve had enough of this crap. I get that the BBC and its website are designed to solely service the license payer. I don’t agree—I think the Internet should be bigger than such parochial concerns, but I’m a futurist at heart. Fine. But here’s the thing… Doctor Who has been and always will be a global phenomenon—one that’s bigger than just Britain. And it bewilders me after 25 years of being a Doctor Who fan that the BBC and its subsidiaries and minions just do not get that. I’m old enough to remember how, in spite of the fact that—depending on who you talked to—a third to a half of the novels published during the Wilderness Years were bought in North America, BBC Books were next to useless in ensuring proper North American distribution during the period 1997-2003… but never saw this as a factor in the range’s steady decline in sales. Because North America…they’re Americans. Who cares about them? The same blindspot applies here. The BBC Doctor Who website now becoming virtually unviewable outside of Britain due to the high amount of geofenced video content, the Adventure Game launch… it’s the same parochial nonsense. This problem could be fixed. It would take work, sure. But it could be fixed. The BBC would simply need to partner with BBC Worldwide on the website and any products it puts out. A mirror of the BBC Doctor Who site would exist outside Britain, under BBC Worldwide’s auspices. It would have the content but ad-generating material as well to pay for non-UK access. They do this already on the BBC’s news site (that’s why, if you’re Canadian, you get Telus ads before looking at video content on the BBC news website). Worldwide could similarly run a site for the Adventure Game on a similar, ad revenue generating principle rather than waiting for a commercial release that will get fewer users. This was identified to me as the solution by the BBC’s own staff when I wrote them about geofencing the video material two years ago. So why hasn’t this been done? Corporate lethargy? The usual tunnel vision at higher levels? The BBC have seemed to have had no trouble in restrategizing and rebranding Doctor Who over the past year. Except this. Why not do the job properly? Please?  | ||
| BBC renews Big finish Licence until 2012 Posted: 02 Jun 2010 10:48 PM PDT The BBC has renewed the Big Finish Audio's Licence to produce Doctor Who Audios until 2012 through its BBC Audio branch, the following Statement was published to Facebook earlier today from Big finish.  | ||

| Vincent and the Doctor Trailer Posted: 02 Jun 2010 07:59 PM PDT Doctor Who continues this week with an episode by the highly regarded Richard Curtis – Vincent and the Doctor has been the focus of a lot of press attention this week, thanks to Curtis' previous successes such as Blackadder and The Vicar of Dibley, not to mention his movies. Along these much loved BBC comedies, Curtis also wrote Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill and Love Actually – all ow which starred Hugh Grant, and the latter of which co-starred Bill Nighy, who appears in Vincent and the Doctor as Dr Black. (Nighy was of course famously announced "exclusively" by the Daily Mail in 2004 as the Ninth Doctor. How we laughed!) Tony Curran is the true star of the episode however, portraying the legendary artist Vincent van Gogh – get a sample of him alongside Matt Smith and Karen Gillan as the Doctor and Amy in this trailer for the episode (and look out for the captions!): Vincent and the Doctor airs at 6.40pm on BBC One and BBC HD this Saturday, 5th June.  | ||
| Posted: 02 Jun 2010 07:04 PM PDT Well, it's broadcast night for Pulse (9pm, BBC3, a mantra which, afterwards, I can finally let slip from my brain!) I don't know why I'm so nervous, it's not like the little people in the TV set are going to do anything different on the night. In the last couple of days, I've done so many interviews that I've lost track, including but not limited to Pink Raygun, On TV Tonight, Velcro City, and Sky TV. I've written a blog about the creation of a particular scene for the BBC Writers' Room. The press conference after the preview is featured in two podcasts by the Geek Syndicate and we got a great review on BBC Radio 5's Richard Bacon Show, about one hour and fifty-six minutes in. Through it all, Tom Hunter's being doing a fantastic job of summarising the coverage for our Facebook fan page. On Twitter, our hashtag is #pulsebbc3. I gather that the Aylesbury SF Group are meeting up to watch it together. If you're nearby, why not get in touch and pop along? And of course those in the UK can see the whole episode online now here. Though I gather that gets taken down sometime today, presumably at the moment of broadcast. From then on, the pilot should be on the BBC IPlayer, and I'll provide a link when it appears. If you see the pilot tonight and enjoy it, please make sure to leave a comment on either the BBC 3 Blog or at their Facebook site. The bigger the response, the more chance we've got of going to series. Thanks very much, everyone, for all your support in the run up to broadcast. I really hope you enjoy it. You'll see how much hard work that fine cast and crew have put into it. Let us know what you think. Until tomorrow, Cheerio!   | ||

| Surprise! City of the Daleks is HERE! Posted: 02 Jun 2010 05:24 PM PDT Here's a pleasant way to begin your day – despite expectations surrounding the release of the first installment of Doctor Who: The Adventure Games suggesting that the BBC would unveil the game to Windows users this Saturday, the broadcaster announced the immediate availability of City of the Daleks for download yesterday!
For those of you who are not sure what we're on about, here's a friendly synopsis of the game provided by the BBC:
If that's not enough to get you to download right this second, then you must fall under one of two categories: you're either a Mac user, or you're a fan living outside the UK (Unfortunately for this contributor, I meet both of these prerequisites). The Macintosh edition of City of the Daleks, as of the present, is still scheduled for 15 June. Sorry, folks, no early Christmas for you! Also, the BBC has finally hinted at its timetable for the game's international release. As you can see by clicking here, foreign Whovians will get their first taste at the Eleventh Doctor's gaming debut in early July, but for an unspecified price; there's no such thing as a free lunch for those not paying the licence fee. We'll have a review of the game soon – in the meantime, checkout our preview of City of the Daleks!  | ||
