Current episode:
7. 42

Cool-episode 42 has a prologue.

Coming to Region 1 dvd on August 14th: Robot (yay!) and Survival. Check out the details and cover art. The UK versions of these stories are going to be released at the end of this month. A little over 2 months-that's not too bad.

Speaking of UK dvds-two new titles have been announced for region 2: The Time Warrior will be released on September 3rd, and the Key to Time box set will follow on September 23rd. Although we already have the Key to Time box set, the Time Warrior is new to us (and about time, too!) Hopefully it'll follow the same pattern as the others and will cross over to this side of the pond later this fall. :) [BBC link]

A couple more links:
Jack's back!

Book bonanza Three new books involving the Doctor and Martha!

And finally...
Have you heard the rumor? There have been talks about a new Doctor Who movie starring Paul McGann as the Doctor. If the rumor becomes fact, the movie would be separate from the current BBC series. Hmm...although I wasn't a big fan of the 1996 movie, I have really enjoyed McGann's Big Finish audios. If it does happen, I'll certainly give it a go. ;) [SyFy Portal link]

TAFN, happy Who watching!!!
