If you haven't already noticed (I, myself just realized it was there today...) check out Doctor Who's homepage-there's a nifty little Advent calendar with assorted "goodies" for each day of the month, leading up to the Christmas special, the Runaway Bride. :)

DWM did a reader's poll, and the results are in. David Tennant has been voted the favorite Doctor, with Tom Baker a close second. Equally close was the favorite companion race-Rose,followed closely by Sarah Jane (together they took over 60% of the vote.) [BBC link]

Speaking of Sarah Jane, Unitnews has the scoop on her special, titled, the Invasion of the Bane, which will air on New Years Day. They also shared some of the first photos of the series:

Sarah Jane pictures, round 2 (*check out the picture of the Brigadier in Sarah's attic!*)
I'm very excited about SJA-it sounds like it's going to be really good!

Any Heroes fans about? I'm sure you've already heard, but I feel a bit guilty for not posting it here sooner-Christopher Eccelston will be joining the cast of Heroes in January. I'm looking forward to that!

Another announcement that's a bit late (it's been a looonnnggg week. ;) ) Congrats to Outpost Gallifrey for the return of it's news page!

TAFN, happy Who watching!
