To celebrate Doctor Who entering its 50th anniversary year, Watch launch an exclusive landmark season of programming - ‘Doctor Who: The Doctors Revisited’. A must-watch for all Doctor Who fans, the show takes viewers back in time to relive the most magical moments of one of the UK’s most loved TV shows.

Back in the summer, our Anniversary Poll asked people to let us know their top 3 choices in six categories. We were inundated with thousands of votes, and these have been carefully counted and collated.

We are delighted to announce that the results will be published in the week leading up to the Anniversary itself. Keep 'em peeled!

A clip from the forthcoming "Tenth Planet" animated episode 4, showing the first ever regeneration, has been made available on You Tube. It may be watched by clicking on the following link:

Our esteemed Hon. Prez, Colin Baker, is to be one of the contestant's in this year's "I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here". The series debuts on ITV on Sunday 11th November at 9pm.

Good luck Colin!

In the Autumn of 2009 I had the pleasure of interviewing Mary Tamm for CT (issue 377). Mary was a delight – a lovely, warm person with a glint in her eye and a wicked sense of humour.

The death of Caroline John, aka Liz Shaw, has been announced.

The DWAS would like to send its deepest condolences to her husband Geoffrey and the rest of Caroline's family. She will be sorely missed.

The piece by Hayden Gribble in the new CT has set me thinking about what I would include in an "Eleven Faces" season.

On the basis of them being "roughly 90 minutes" (by the way Hayden, The Two Doctors isn't!!) my list is:

1st Doctor: The Romans
2nd Doctor: The Krotons
3rd Doctor: Day of the Daleks SE
4th Doctor: City of Death
5th Doctor: Earthshock
6th Doctor: Mark of the Rani

If you're planning to pre-order this ahead of its release on Monday week, may we point you in the direction of the BBC Shop. Entering the code RPMAR12 gives you a 10% discount, which will bring the price down to £11.69.

Eoh, eoh, Azal!
