Just in case you haven't heard yet (although I suspect most of you already have...), Doctor Who the Empty Child/the Doctor Dances, won the Hugo award for Short Dramatic Presentation.
Congrats to Steven Moffat!!
And what's really cool-the runners up were Dalek written by Robert Shearman and Father's Day written by Paul Cornell.
Check out Paul's reaction to the 'sweep' at his blog, Paul Cornell's House of Awkwardness. :)

It's official, series 2 in the US
The SciFi Channel and BBC Worldwide Americas have confirmed that Doctor Who will return to the U.S. in September 2006.
Of course, many had already guessed this would happen, but it's still good to hear the "official" world. Yay!! Here's to Series 2 being a huge success to the SciFi Channel as Series 1 was. *cheers*
More news on series 3:
Filming for the Christmas special, the Runaway Bride has been completed and filming for Series 3 has just gotten underway. Also, apparently this year the Doctor will have a new suit. :)
Outpost Gallifrey also has more on the US debut and series 3 updates.
Also from Outpost Gallifrey, a short update on the rumored Sarah Jane Smith Investigates spinoff. Apparently they are only going to film one episode before launching it in a series-and it might air on New Years Day. (from the August 5th Tardis Report)
Update, 2:05pm: SciFi Wire is now reporting the debut of series 2. Cool! :)

Doctor Who News Brief: More rumors about series 2
For those who haven't heard or seen it yet, SciFi has the schedule up for september: http://www.scifi.com/schedulebot/index.php3?date=29-SEP-2006&feed_req.
Actually, that's the schedule for Friday September 29th. Starting at 8am, there is an 8-hour Doctor Who marathon, starting with Dalek and ending with the Parting of the Ways. Then Doctor Who is scheduled in the 9 and 10pm timeslots, with no episode listing. Rumor has it that series two will premiere that night. (I say rumor because as of the writing of this entry, it hasn't been confirmed by the SciFi channel, or the BBC)
Some speculation as to how it might be aired: 9pm-an extrememly edited Christmas Invasion, followed by New Earth or, New Earth at 9pm, followed by Tooth and Claw.
I wouldn't put it past SciFi to extend the Christmas Invasion to an hour and a half (with commericals)-after all, both Stargate SG-1 and Battlestar Galactica have had 90 minute episodes-why not Doctor Who as well? :)
In any case, if these rumors/speculations are true-it's good news for Who fans here in the U.S.!
(Special thanks to Don from the Ohio-Type 40-thanks for passing on the info from the thisweekindoctorwho Yahoo group!)

Doctor Who News Brief: Sarah Jane Investigates?
According to Outpost Gallifrey [see August 1st news], Ariel, the BBC's in-house newsletter, released information suggesting the identity of the second Doctor Who spin-off. Sarah Jane Investigates will bring back Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith. Not much else has been said about the series-like when this will happen (if the rumors turn out to be true) or whether or not it will also bring back K-9 (who has his own series currently in development.) Stay tuned to Outpost Gallifrey for more information as it develops.
As a Sarah Jane Smith fan, I kind of like the idea of her having her own series...it sounds interesting...just as long as they do a good job!!!
