Radio extras!

Is everyone ready for the season premiere of Doctor Who tomorrow on BBC One? I am!!
Since I haven't done it in ages:

Doctor Who, series 4( season 30) in the U.K.:
Saturdays, 6:20pm on BBC One

Current episode:
1. Partners in Crime

To be followed by Doctor Who: Confidential on BBC 3.

But that's not all!! If you love behind the scenes action, check out BBC 7! Starting this Sunday as a part of their 7th Dimension programming:

from my BBC 7 newsletter:
"On BBC 7, we're delighted that, on Sunday in the 7th Dimension, we will be able to bring you a tie-in programme, Doctor Who - the Commentaries, in which some of the cast and crew discuss the programme which was shown the day before.

You'll be able to hear David Tennant, Catherine Tate and producer Phil Collinson commenting on the programme.

I'm also very pleased to let you know that the The Commentaries will be available as a podcast."

It sounds like they will be doing this every week-yay!

Also, if you haven't visited in a while, be sure to check out the Official Doctor Who site -they've revamped the site, which currently focuses on series 4. Don't worry! You can still get to the first 3 seasons of the new series, plus the Classic Who site-you just have to click on the Archive button. Eventually it will all be integrated into the new site. Go on! Click the link! You know you want to. ;)

TAFN,
