The Beginner's Guide to Classic Doctor Who. BBC has created a beginner's guide to Classic Who for fans who are new to the series. You can select The Doctor, The Companions, The TARDIS, The Daleks, or Monsters, and you'll get a brief narrative description of each-with different images cycling throughout. Well, except for the Monsters section-with that one, you have a target, and these monsters scroll across the screen-when you fire on one (with Dalek gun sound effects) the monster lights up and you get a description. Overall, I like the guide. At first I thought the Companions section was a little thin (only talking about Rose, Sarah Jane, K-9, Susan, and briefly, Ian and Barbara), but then I remembered this is supposed to be a guide for fans who are new to the series. Trying to explain all of Doctor Who to a newcomer in one setting may overwhelm them. So why not just talk about the current, first, and the two companions who return for an episode in the current series? Hopefully, if they want to know more, they can check out more extensive guides, like the classic one found here. :)

If you haven't done so already, check out the Classic series eBooks. According to the site, all feature brand new artwork and extensive notes from the authors!

Congrats, Billie Piper! She has one another award-the UK TV Actress of the Year award at Glamour Magazine's Women of the Year Awards. :)

Doctor Who Audios Check out The Kingmaker, a Fifth Doctor story with Peter Davidson as the Doctor, and Nicola Bryant as Peri. I hear it's a brilliant story-and absolutely hillarious!

Series 3 Series 3 will begin with the filming of the Christmas special, and will go on for about 34 weeks. Next year, the Doctor will meet Shakespeare!

TAFN, Happy Who Watching! :)
