Big news of the week: Doctor Who will not be on next week, due to the Eurovision Song Contest on the 12t. Rather than air the 7th episode, 42 at an earlier time, the BBC decided to postpone Doctor Who for a week. 42 will air on May 19th.

However, because we are being forced to wait so long for the next new episode, the BBC will be providing a special treat for fans at the end of the Lazarus Experiment-so stay tuned for something special!!

DVD updates: Time-flight / Arc of Infinity from the Fifth Doctor Era will be released on dvd in the U.K. on August 6th. Check out the list of features for each story!

This next bit was actually posted awhile ago, but I didn't link to it here: Top ten scariest Doctor Who monsters/villians -Daleks top the list-no real surprise there!! ;)

Spinoff updates: Haven't posted much about the spinoffs lately. The first season of the Sarah Jane Adventures began filming on April 16th. Torchwood's second season started filming two weeks later (April 30th). Yay! :)

There's also a new face in SJA. Daniel Anthony will be playing Clyde-a new friend of Maria and Luke's from school. His character replaces Porsha Lawrence Mavour's Kelsey from the New Years' special. [sarah-jane.tv] link

And finally, this week's SyFriday article over at the SyFy Portal features Doctor Who!
Where is 'Doctor Who' headed in Year 3? (Warning: contains moderate spoilers for season 3).

TAFN, happy Who watching!!!
