Auction Who

Two items from the 1980s era of Doctor Who are to be auctioned at the Knightsbridge branch of Bonhams next month.A moulded and painted foam baby Tyrannosaurus rex in a jar from the 1985 Colin Baker story The Mark of the Rani carries an estimate of 600 to 800 pounds. The lot originally came from the collection of the late producer John Nathan-Turner.Also going under the hammer in the entertainment memorabilia sale on June 18 is a Dalek guard costume from the Peter Davison adventure Resurrection of the Daleks.This particular lot has 'Rula Lenska' plus a measurement inscribed in ballpoint on the neck and comes with a moulded weapon plus background paperwork, including a copy of a note by Lenska, who played Styles in the 1984 story, and a signed photo (of whom is unclear but a good guess would be Lenska).The estimate placed on the costume is 800 to 1,200 pounds.

Big Issue Chat


Steven Moffat has given his first full-length interview since being announced as the next lead writer and executive producer of Doctor Who to the new issue of Big Issue Scotland, the weekly magazine sold by the homeless in Scotland.In the interview, Moffat admits that he had to think hard about whether to accept the role, comparing his replacing Russell T Davies with fellow Scot Gordon Brown succeeding Tony Blair as Prime Minister."You wouldn’t immediately say yes to that job. You imagine that you would say yes immediately, but it’s a huge job and you have to think about it," he tells the magazine. "I was kind of the other contender, which puts me sort of in the position of Gordon Brown. And look how that turned out. The surly Scot comes in and it all goes to ******."The full interview is available in Big Issue Scotland, on sale now across Scotland.

Synopsis At Midnight

This is the BBC press release for Ep 10 - Midnight.

The Doctor is trapped, alone, powerless and terrified, on the planet Midnight, as Russell T Davies's Bafta Award-winning time-travelling drama continues. Soon, the knocking on the wall begins. Only a woman called Sky seems to know the truth – but as paranoia turns into a witch-hunt, Sky turns the Doctor's greatest strengths against him, and a sacrifice must be made...

Proms Cutaway

Filming has concluded this year with a special 'proms' scene, set in the TARDIS. Although, the Doctor isn't just restricted to the TARDIS, as concert - goers will soon discover. It will star David Tennant, and a special returning guest. It has no official title - and is just being named 'Proms Scene'. RTD has said it could be called 'Proms Cutaway', for DW historians.
