| Posted: 11 Aug 2011 06:54 AM PDT Time for an update on Ultimate Regeneration now, the first book to be published by Kasterborous which covers the Russell T Davies era of Doctor Who. We first announced the book back in late 2010 (although work began long before this) and opened it up to pre-orders; a few delays took us through to February 2011, where graced by Anthony Dry's awesome cover art the book shifted well over 100 copies. Six months on we have a handful of copies remaining from the initial run of 250, thanks to loyal Kasterborous readers and the efforts of Martin and Brian at the wonderful Who-ray! shop in Stockton-on-Tees who have stocked the book and hosted a couple of signing sessions. So the time has come to announce the release of the eBook version of Ultimate Regeneration! Available from Lulu in both print and eBook formats, Ultimate Regeneration can now be purchased for reading on any type of eReader device, such as iBooks on the Apple devices, the Kindle reader and the app version on Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone and the various alternative devices such as the Nook. There's also the desktop reading option! If you haven't so far taken the plunge into a real-time history of reviews tied together with a running commentary of the relevant Doctor Who news that tied the first five years of nuWho together (running from Rose through to The End of Time, Part Two) then now is the time – head on over the Lulu and pick up the new revised edition of Ultimate Regeneration for £12.99 or just £4.99 for the eBook! Meanwhile, look out for a special Ultimate Regeneration giveaway for all Kasterborous readers coming very soon!  | ||

| Posted: 11 Aug 2011 05:49 AM PDT As the BBC reveal their listings for 'Week 35' (or 27th August- 2nd September, as normal people may call it), there's something missing. While there's promises of The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, the 'Comedy Prom' and a new crime drama called The Field of Blood, there's something old, new, borrowed and blue missing… Even searching for 'Hitler' doesn't help, thanks to a drama and accompanying documentary about the Nazi leader on BBC Two. Yes, the BBC is still keeping its lips sealed over when Doctor Who will return. 'This might mean America gets it before us!' 'Maybe it won't return to British telly ever again!' 'Who just mentioned Michael Grade?!' But before you start a protest by doing something crazy like organising a riot of some kind using Facebook… Don't panic! Even though it's not listed, it doesn't mean Doctor Who won't be back on 27th August. It just means that the BBC is tapping its nose, giving us a cheeky wink and running away, while its American cousin calls it a jerk behind its back. The Beeb have to 'lock in' schedules 10 days before broadcast, so there's still plenty of time for them to reveal the worst-kept secret in history (perhaps apart from the 'Saxon-is-The-Master' thing). Torchwood: Miracle Day was also missing from the initial listings for Week 28, before being added just days later. So, y'see, all is well. And if that didn't still your palpitations, it's also been confirmed that Lee Nelson's Well Good Show is coming back. Now you can really sleep well.  | ||

Ah. BBC One. You still won't tell us, will you? It's okay; we know already. 27th August. And you know we know, and we know you know that we know and you know that we know that you know that we know. But there are some people out there who don't know yet. So let them know!  | ||

| Posted: 11 Aug 2011 02:37 AM PDT He's back! For the third successive year, Tom Baker returns to audio as the Fourth incarnation of the time and space travelling Doctor, in a brand new series of full-cast adventures.
Before you read on and observe the cast list, brace yourselves – it looks as though writer Paul Magrs is treating long-term fans of Baker's work with this particular adventure… Featuring a dual role for Tom Baker (dare we speculate?! Exciting!), Tsar Wars features a superb line-up of guest actors including Valeyard actor Michael Jayston, Simon Shepherd, Suzy Aitchison, Paul Chequer, Gabriel Vick, Grant Gillespie and Sam Hoare. Future instalments in the Serpent Crest series will find the Doctor and company marooned in a 19th Century English village, trapped in a labyrinth of mythical treasures, pitted against an alien incursion, and surviving against the odds on a distant moon. Guest actors will include Terrence Hardiman, Joanna David, Richard Franklin (returning as Mike Yates?), Geoff Leesley, Su Douglas and Andrew Sachs with others yet to be announced. The Serpent Crest release schedule is as follows: 1. Tsar Wars – 8 September Doctor Who: Serpent Crest part one, Tsar Wars will be available in download format for £6.79 or CD for £10.20, and the disc version can already be ordered from Amazon for £7.85. Meanwhile, the entire Serpent Crest series is available to pre-order on Amazon  | ||

Tsar Wars (available for pre-order)published 8th September 2011 The Doctor and Mrs Wibbsey are catapulted from present day Earth to a futuristic civilisation in a distant galaxy.

The Doctor is mistaken for an old ally of the Tsarina's, but then suspected of treason when the Palace comes under attack. Dark secrets are lurking in the shadows, and the mysterious Father Gregory will set off a chain of events which have long-lasting consequences for the Doctor and Mrs Wibbsey. Featuring a dual role for Tom Baker, Tsar Wars features a superb line-up of guest actors including Michael Jayston, Simon Shepherd, Suzy Aitchison, Paul Chequer, Gabriel Vick, Grant Gillespie and Sam Hoare. Future installments of Serpent Crest will see the return of the Doctor's previous companion in these series, Mike Yates as played by Richard Franklin, and will also include Terrence Hardiman, Joanna David, Geoff Leesley, Su Douglas and Andrew Sachs.

| AudioGo: Doctor Who release update Posted: 11 Aug 2011 01:31 AM PDT AudioGo have announced the release of two more titles in their range of Doctor Who spoken stories, featuring the Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Rory. Plus the third collection of the 'lost' television adventures with linking narration has recently been released, alongside the Target adaptation of Fury From The Deep. Blackout (available for pre-order)by Oli Smith read by Stuart Milligan published 8th September 2011 November 9th, 1965. New York City is plunged into darkness, a taxi driver has bad dreams, and an invisible spacecraft hovers ominously above the skyline. As an extra-terrestrial disease sweeps the populace, Amy and Rory must sabotage the city's water supply to slow the spread of infection, and a dying Doctor holds another man's life in his hands. With the death toll rising, and his companions stalked through the streets by alien businessmen, the Doctor is forced to make a terrible decision. How far must he go to save his friends?  Touched by an Angelby Jonathan Morris read by Clare Corbett published 8th September 2011 In 2003, Rebecca Whitaker died in a road accident. Her husband Mark is still grieving. He receives a battered envelope, posted eight years ago, containing a set of instructions with a simple message: "You can save her." As Mark is given the chance to save Rebecca, it's up to the Doctor, Amy and Rory to save the whole world. Because this time the Weeping Angels are using history itself as a weapon...  The Lost Episodes - Collection 3 (available to order)published 4th August 2011 Dozens of Doctor Who TV episodes are lost as visual film recordings - but they survive as audio soundtracks, digitally remastered with additional linking narration by members of the original cast. This handsome box set collects together five adventures which are either wholly or partially lost from the TV archives, but which can be enjoyed in their entirety on audio. Presented in chronological order of transmission, the stories in this collection are "The Smugglers", "The Tenth Planet", "The Power of the Daleks", "The Highlanders", "The Underwater Menace" and "The Moonbase", and feature William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton as the first and second Doctors. They are presented along with bonus interviews with Anneke Wills, who played Polly in the TV series, as well as a special BBC Radio 3 feature Dance of the Daleks which looks at the role of incidental music in Doctor Who.  Fury From The Deep (available to order)by Victor Pemberton read by David Troughton published July 2011 In the dark, uncharted depths of the North Sea it has lurked, growing in strength, growing in size, and striking terror into the hearts of mariners down the untold centuries. Landing near a North Sea gas refinery off the east coast of England, the Tardis crew are immediately accused of sabotage. Several rig crews have mysteriously vanished, strange pressure build-ups have been detected, and in the refinery's pipelines the Doctor can hear the steady, rhythmic beat of - what? Soon the Doctor, Jamie and Victoria will find themselves at the unrelenting mercy of the deadliest and most terrifying foe they have ever encountered...  | ||

| “Previously on Doctor Who…” Posted: 11 Aug 2011 01:00 AM PDT That's a phrase that we're not used to hearing when an episode of Doctor Who first starts. It's been a template statement for many American television serials over the years; some of you may be familiar with statements such as "previously on Buffy the Vampire Slayer" or "previously on LOST". Many shows have so many twisty turney elements to them that the audience needs a brief refresher when they start an episode to catch up on past events. Whilst we thankfully don't have Matt Smith or Karen Gillan's voice providing this little snippet of dialogue, as it would surely make the show as self-aware as when the Doctor sported question marks on his clothes and umbrellas, BBC America has produced a brief catch up video for all those who may have fallen behind on what's been happening in series six of Doctor Who. Whilst the plot's aren't necessarily baffling to follow, there has been a longer than usual break between episodes this year and so it's nice to be able to find out any snippets that you may have missed. It does also help to integrate Doctor Who to the American audience that may have missed the first few episodes, using a template "catch up" video that they are used to from other shows. Doctor Who returns to BBC America on August 27th, and to BBC One sometime in the near future…  | ||
| Doctor Who: no BBC listing for 27th August (so far) Posted: 11 Aug 2011 12:06 AM PDT  The BBC Press Office have released details of television programmes during Week 35 (27th August - 2nd September), and Doctor Who is notable by its absence from the schedules - the series has been confirmed by BBC America as being broadcast by themselves on the 27th August.The lack of a listing does not necessarily mean that the show will not be broadcast on that Saturday, however; Torchwood: Miracle Day was initially absent from from the Week 28 listings for the week it returned, being added to the schedule listings a few days later. BBC programming is normally finally 'locked down' 10 days before transmission.  | ||

| Torchwood isn't ‘too gay' Posted: 10 Aug 2011 10:58 PM PDT Many years ago when anyone wanted sex on TV or film all they had to do was lose an acceptable amount of clothing and wait for either a cheeky smash cut or for the whole screen to demurely fade to black before doing the horizontal mamba These days sexuality is as organic to a character as breathing in and out- and in our oh so knowing, gritty, realistic modernity sex should reflect the world around that character from the avaricious little plebs in Skins to the Victorian tickle your fancy of Tipping the Velvet. So it comes as no surprise (What? I did say we were knowing) that several viewers have complained about the appropriateness of showing a gay sex scene in Torchwood: Miracle Day episode Dead of Night- leading to this rebuttal from the BBC complaints department:
The question shouldn't be: 'Is it appropriate to show gay sex post watershed?' Instead it should be: 'Is it appropriate to show sex scenes post watershed?' and the answer would be yes given the suffix of content and the nature of the material shown. Regardless of the sexuality there are rules as laid out by the BBC above that govern sex on TV and that scene didn't break any of them. While its justifiable to get angry at the incredulity of this it is also kind of sad that the BBC have to explain equality in this manner.  | ||
| The Doctor to return to SPACE on 27th August! Posted: 10 Aug 2011 10:55 PM PDT The Doctor, Amy, Rory and River Song will be returning to Canada on Saturday 27th August at 8pm ET.
