Yet unconfirmed by 2|entertain-BBC DVD, there is a possibility that DOCTOR WHO - SERIES 4 will be released as two variants.

One of the two boxset designs could be the exclusive for AMAZON.CO.UK.

The boxset will be released on 17 November 2008 RRP £69.99.

BBC MUSIC (via SILVA SCREEN) is launching the original music soundtrack to BBC WALES' TORCHWOOD drama series on 22 September.

The single-disc features 32 tracks composed by Murray Gold & orchestrated by Ben Foster from SERIES 1 and 2.

It is interesting to note that Silva Screen has sold over 33,000 copies of Murray Gold's DOCTOR WHO music CDs. Currently, there is no news about a SERIES 4 music releases.

As eyeofhorus.org.uk revealed earlier this summer, the fantastically fun SARAH JANE ADVENTURES SERIES 1 will be re-broadcast on BBC 1 from Sunday 31 August at 14:00.

Initially, we were informed that SERIES 2 would be broadcast on BBC 1 but it seems that our BBC Drama Source may have been slightly confused.

Whether SERIES 2 will retain that day/timeslot is unknown at this stage, though it seems it will be relegated once again to CBBC. It deserves better. Saturday afternoon at 17:30?

(Unconfirmed by 2|entertain or BBC DVD) Online reports are commenting that the 19 January 2009 DVD "boxset" release will be Tom Baker's SEASON 18 "trilogy" set in E-Space (FULL, CIRCLE, STATE OF DECAY and WARRIORS' GATE).

BBC AUDIO continues with their highly addictive range of CLASSIC DOCTOR WHO unabridged releases on 9 September 2008 with the publication of DOCTOR WHO AND THE GREEN DEATH.

Malcolm Hulke's Third Doctor story is read by Katy Manning (Jo Grant). RRP £17.99 (PLAY.COM £8.99) - duration: four hours.

Another entry in our range of unabridged readings of classic Doctor Who novelisations, first published by Target Books in the 1970s and 1980s. The Green Death begins slowly. In a small Welsh mining village a man emerges from the disused colliery covered in a green fungus. Minutes later he is dead. UNIT, Jo Grant and Doctor Who in tow, arrive on the scene to investigate, but strangely reluctant to assist their enquiries is Dr Stevens, director of the local refinery Panorama Chemicals. Are they in time to destroy the mysterious power which threatens them all before the whole village, and even the world, is wiped out by a deadly swarm of green maggots?

DOCTOR WHO has been awarded "The best TV programme of 2008" at the Edinburgh TV festival.

For the second year in a row.
