Doctor Who news

Hello fellow Whovians!
It's been awhile since I last posted-I'm sorry-I didn't have much time while I was away to be online. Too much goes on at my sister's to tie up the phone line for very long. LOL.

Series One (season 27) in the USA:(recap)

Current episode:
Series 1 has finished it's current run. *patiently awaiting news on when series two will air...*
SciFi will air The Empty Child on Sunday, July 16th at 11pm.
The Doctor Dances will air the following week (the 23rd) also at 11pm.
I don't see Doctor Who in anywhere in the schedule for August-boo!

Season 1 now on dvd! As of today, the first series was #9 in Amazon's dvd sales. I saw it as high as #3-but I've only been online since Monday-did anyone else notice if it was higher? I hope this bodes well for us who would like to see series 2 come to SciFi. :)

Speaking of dvds, the Fourth Doctor story, the Hand of Fear and the Sixth Doctor story, the Mark of the Rani will be coming to dvd on November 7th. I like this apparent trend of the dvds coming out in Britain, and then shortly after coming out on this side of the pond. Grant it, it would be much cooler if they came out at the same time, but waiting a few months is better than waiting a year or more. I hope this means the Invasion will follow shortly. :) :)

BBC7 will start a repeat season of the Eighth Doctoraudios, starting this Sunday (July 16th) with Shada. Also included are Storm Warning, Sword of Orion, The Stones of Venice, Invaders from Mars and The Chimes of Midnight. These stories will run through August 27th.

TAFN-still trying to catch up!!
