29 MARCH 2007 | MERCHANDISE | Courtney and Molloy back together

Released on 19 March, Nicholas Courtney and Terry Molloy make a welcome return in the second audio-adventure, THE SCARIFYERS (appearing as Lionheart and Professor Dunning respectively, alongside the under-appreciated talented David Benson).

Tis Shub-Niggurath as we worship, and dread,
For she reigns o'er the living and dwells with the dead,
O'er shoreline and beach, o'er heathland and marsh,
She sees all that men do, and her judgement be harsh.

A melting minister. a scientific project gripped by madness. a remote village on the Kent coast where the locals have some strange habits indeed. It's all just the ticket for top-secret government department, MI-13.

EXTERNAL LINK Order direct from COSMICHOBO RRP £9.99 (2 Discs)

26 MARCH 2007 | SERIES 3 | Russell, chat with NEWSROUND-RUINERS

Less than three weeks ago, in DWM, Russell T Davies warned about RUINERS leaking plotline from SERIES 3.

BBC WALES need to look at the BBC NEWSROUND website and ask if revealing a "scary character plotline" is healthy for viewers. The trailers for SMITH AND JONES have not revealed any hints of this, so why has BBC NEWSROUND?

26 MARCH 2007 | SERIES 3 | RADIO TIMES cashes in - again

Of course, DOCTOR WHO fans are made of money, and RADIO TIMES is cashing in again with just two covers this time (remember the four cover Doctors a few years back) for the launch of SERIES 3.

Of course, fans will buy both and squirrel one away for "best".

Of course, we should iterate the eyeofhorus.org.uk comment from September 2004 - where's the first black companion? Finally, the series has one (and not we count Mickey Smith).

Of course.

Thanks to our very good friend, Sebastian J Brook.

If true, its worth it. eyeofhorus.org.uk was informed by a Source that tennant was to leave the role by episode 6 of SERIES 4. Thankfully not quite accurate if today's report is true.

...and damned if he doesn't... reveal if he will be starring in the fourth series of BBC WALES' DOCTOR WHO.

Everyone at the Press launch of SERIES 3 tempted David Tennant in revealing whether he will regenerating (..no, really, that will not happen in June...).

Ever the diplomat, he kept his counsel - quite right too.

11 MARCH 2007 | SERIES 3 | RTD coded message to fans or more smoke?

Show runner (Executive Producer and Head Writer - with 22 episodes under his PC's belt), Russell T Davies is profiled in THE TELEGRAPH magazine.

He discusses the re-birth of DOCTOR WHO in 2005, filming for SERIES 3 and SERIES 4 preparations.

" A fourth series of DOCTOR WHO has already been commissioned, and Davies is putting the finishing touches to scripts for Christmas 2007. His work here is - almost - done. When he does leave, it will be with happy memories, especially of the day the Doctor returned, on 26 March, 2005. 'That afternoon,' he says, 'I went into town, shopping and pottering about. There was a buzz in the air. I felt like I was eight years old again. It was like "Mum's dragged me to town, and I've got to get home because Doctor Who's going to be on". I'll never forget that feeling. As long as I live.' "

" If you stay too long somewhere you start missing out on chances..."
