The Sarah Jane Adventures
60 minute special-Monday, January 1st 2007 on CBBC:
Invasion of the Bane

The new 8th Doctor audios consist of two two-part stories, and four stand-alone stories, each running about 50 minutes (not unlike the format of the current television series!) Not that that's a bad thing-I'm just fond of the 25 minute multi-part series. ;)

Speaking of the audios-if Blood of the Daleks was any indication of the quality of the rest stories, then I can't wait for the others! I really enjoyed it-I'll be posting a review soon. :)

I know I've been home from vacation for a couple of weeks now, but I'm still trying to catch up on my blog reading. Did anyone catch Julie Gardner's interview on RadioWales last month? According to Michael over at the Torchwood Institute, she is hoping that Torchwood will cross over to America sometime in the new year. Cool! :) [link]

Doctor Who has been nominated for a Nebula Award!! Girl in the Fireplace is on the ballot which will go out in May. :) [SyFyPortal link]

TAFN, happy Who watching!
