Who news

Series 3/Season 29 in the U.K.
Saturdays, 7pm (GMT) on BBC One

Current episode:
5. Evolution of the Daleks

Previous epiosdes:
4. Daleks in Manhattan
3. Gridlock
2. The Shakespeare Code
1. Smith and Jones

The ratings are down in the U.K. Smith and Jones scored a record-breaking 8.2 million viewers last month, but last week's episode, Daleks in Manhattan, only scored 6.3 million. (However, it is still beating the competition!) Have the Daleks lost their touch? one writer asks. Well, I've got an opinion about that-but I'll save it for when I do my review.

-there's also some reader response to this article in Michael Hinman's SyFriday section.

More about series 3 coming to SciFi. :)
Outpost Gallifrey reports that series 3 will start on July 6th at 9pm.

Unitnews has highlights for the upcoming Doctor Who Magazine issue 382 and Doctor Who Adventures issue 28.

Last, but not least-the BBC has released some details on the U.K. version of Robot, including coverart! The dvd will be released in the U.K. on May 28th, 2007. Hopefully the North American version will follow shortly thereafter!
