If you haven't already discovered it online, you should check out the Human Nature e-book. The BBC has made a downloadable version, plus there is a new article by Paul Cornell-explaining how he adapted the novel into the televised version.

Unitnews has a synopsis for the latest issues of Doctor Who Magazine (
issue #383) and Doctor Who Adventures (issue #31).

New audio books! Read by the Joneses! ;)

Cute little story from the boy who won the Blue Peter competition on the set of Utopia.

from Outpost Gallifrey:
BBC Radio Wales is doing another run of the program Doctor Who Back in Time, starting this Saturday, June 9th. The program airs at 1pm, and will be available in their Listen again schedule for 7 days afterwards.

Congrats to Freema Agyeman! She's won Glamour's award for best newcomer!

Final ratings for Human Nature and overnight ratings for Family of Blood. Hey, Family of Blood got an AI rating of 86. Cool. :)

And finally, just for fun: the other astrology of the Doctors.
Someone over on LiveJournal did a post listing the different Doctor actor's Chinese astrological signs. This was in response to another post that listed the actor's astrological signs.

TAFN, happy Who watching!!

DWC June steering meeting

Hi everyone!!! Don't forget, tomorrow, June 7th, is our monthly steering meeting, at 7pm. This month's steering meeting has been moved to Old Bag of Nails in Upper Arlington.

We will be discussing the results and fun that we had at Marcon, and planning for upcoming events. Dates and times for the remainder of the year will be selected, as well as locations for the next few meetings. We will also be discussing Advertising and Publicity, and new ideas for increasing membership.
Bring your thinking caps, and an empty stomach! :)

As always, please see the DWC Yahoo group for directions and contact info. Thanks!!

Marcon, part 2

Panels are always fun for me. Unfortunately I missed the Torchwood panel, but I did make it to the two Doctor Who panels. I always find the panels informative, and you have to give the panelists credit for trying to keep it as spoiler-free as possible(sometimes you just can't control what the audience says). It's a great place to ask questions, and to discuss and debate different aspects of our favorite show! Also, it's nice to be able to talk to people whose eyes won't glaze over after you've been talking about Doctor Who for only 10 minutes. ;)
(sorry about the fuzzy pic-I was laughing when I took this-thanks to the Dalek impersenation-which was very good, btw. I think we gave Kevin Sorbo, who was in the next room, a run for his money. LOL)

Saturday we had an all-Who club meeting. There's been talk about a unity of Ohio Doctor Who clubs-we'd still have our own clubs (DWC, Friends of a Timelord, and Ohio-Type 40). But we would all work together to organize big projects, help each other out with building up memberships, working on pledge drives, etc. It'll be interesting to see where all of this leads... :)

All in all, I had an absolutely fantastic time, and I hope more of you can make it next year! I love putting names to faces. :)

And finally, I'll leave you with the sign from our video room:


Don't forget DWC has a steering meeting next Friday, June 7th, and a monthly club meeting Saturday, June 23rd!

Marcon 42, part 1

First of all, let me begin by saying, I had a fantastic time!!!


I wasn't there long before I ran into some fellow Whovians! Finding one person with a sonic screwdriver is cool...but 4? That's a picture waiting to happen. LOL.


Ahh, where to begin? Well, first let me say that I think the video room was a huge success! Jarrod and Andrew did an awesome job putting it all together.
(<---Jarrod and Andrew, hard at work)
I'm glad I had the chance to be a part of it.

I liked the variety of programs in the video room-some I had heard of, but hadn't seen many episodes. Others I had never heard of at all, but now I want to check out more! (thanks, guys. :p LOL ;) )

Other members enjoying the show
I loved hanging out with everyone in the video room-it's always fun to realize that you aren't the only one in the room quoting Doctor Who word for word. ;) And what could be better than cramming 56 people in the room at 1:15am Sunday morning for a showing of Human Nature? :-D Fantastic!

TAFN, stay tuned for part 2!

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!!!

DWC May meeting

Don't forget!! DWC May meeting this Saturday (May 12th) at Jarrod's campus house. We will be working on finalizing plans for the Marcon work schedule. Please see the files section in the DWC Yahoo group for directions.

Also, if anyone is interested in the final video list, Andrew has posted the it in the files section as well. :)

Thanks!!

Doctor Who this week

Saturdays, 7pm (GMT) on BBC One

Current episode:
6. The Lazarus Experiment

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

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.
[BBC link]
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!!!

Marcon 42 volunteers!

Hey everyone!!! Just a friendly reminder, if you are planning on volunteering for the Doctor Who video room at Marcon, please start sending your availability and shift preferrences to Jarrod. He needs your times no later than Tuesday, May 8th, so he can plan the schedule.

Also-please plan on attending either the May 12th or May 18th meeting, so he can go over the schedule, where to get your Staff IDs, and any other information you'll need.

Thanks!!! :)
