New Series Monster Novels

Three upcoming novels starring new series monster have been named for release on the 16th april 2009. They are:

• Judgement of the Judoon

Elvis the King Spaceport has grown into the sprawling city-state of New Memphis - an urban jungle, where organized crime is rife. But the launch of the new Terminal 13 hasn't been as smooth as expected. And things are about to get worse! When the Doctor arrives, he finds the whole terminal locked down! The notorious Invisible Assassin is at work again, and the Judoon troopers sent to catch him will stop at nothing to complete their mission. With the assassin loose on the mean streets of New Memphis, the Doctor is forced into a strange alliance. Together with teenage private-eye Nikki and a ruthless Judoon Commander, the Doctor soon discovers that things are even more complicated - and dangerous - than he first thought!

• The Slitheen Excursion

1500BC - King Actaeus and his subjects live in mortal fear of the awesome gods who have come to visit their kingdom in ancient Greece. Except the Doctor, visiting with university student June, knows they're not gods at all. They're aliens! With June's enthusiastic help, the Doctor soon meets the travel agents behind this deadly package holiday company - his old enemies the Slitheen! But can he bring the Slitheen excursion to an end without endangering more lives? And how are events in ancient Greece linked to a modern-day alien plot to destroy what's left of the Parthenon?

• Prisoner of the Daleks

The Daleks are advancing, their empire constantly expanding in to Earth's space. The Earth forces are resisting the Daleks in every way they can. But the battles rage on across countless solar systems. And now the future of our galaxy hangs in the balance... The Doctor finds himself stranded on board a starship near the front line with a group of ruthless bounty hunters. Earth Command will pay them for every Dalek they kill, every eye stalk they bring back as proof. With the Doctor's help, the bounty hunters achieve the ultimate prize: a Dalek prisoner - intact, powerless, and ready for interrogation. But where the Daleks are involved, nothing is what it seems, and no one is safe. Before long the tables will be turned, and how will the Doctor survive when he becomes a prisoner of the Daleks?

Also coming is another in the quick read series due for release in Febuary 2009:

The TARDIS lands at an academy for top athletes, all hoping to be chosen for the forthcoming Globe Games. But is one of them driven enough to resort to murder? The Doctor discovers that the students have been hushing up unexplained deaths.
Teaming up with a young swimmer called Emma, the Doctor begins to investigate – but he doesn’t expect to find a squad of Sontarans invading the academy!
As the Sontarans begin their own lethal version of the Globe Games, the Doctor and Emma must find out what’s really going on. But the Doctor is captured and forced to take part in the Sontaran Games. Can even a Time Lord survive this deadly contest?

DWA 59

Doctor Who Adventures Issue 59 went on sale today. It contains an interview with David Tennant, the top 5 moments of Partners in Crime and a preview of The Fires of Pompeii. Free with it are some magnets and a double sided poster.

Sarah Jane Adventures CD Adventures

Recently the BBC released two Sarah Jane Adventures CD adventures read by Elizabeth Sladen. They are:

• The Glittering Storm by Stephen Cole


• The Thirteenth Stone by Justin Richards

Both cost £5.99. Run for a modest 1 hour 10 minutes. Out of the two The Glittering Storm is by far the best. It has a good plotline, people posessed due to gold in their blood. The Thirteenth Stone is terrible, they travel to an information centre and Luke is possesed by a King who has been turned to stone. Luke forces him out after a mental battle that lasts 2 minutes and the king is killed. The majority of the story is spent in a computer sweet explaiing the myth of the stones. The Glittering storm is well worth its price but the Thirteenth Stone is not worth your money.

Tenth Doctor Adventures

Tommorow three new Tenth Doctor Adventures Novels are released these are:

• The Many Hands by Dale Smith



• Snowglobe 7 by Mike Tucker



• Martha in the Mirror by Justin Richards

This is also the order the books run chronalogicaly

Sarah Jane Series 2

For those who do not know The Sarah Jane Adventures has been comisioned for a second series. It will run for a longer series of 12 episodes this time as it has a larger budget. Filming is already underway and It will be running at an unknown as of yet date late this year.

Daleks in Series 4

The Daleks will feature in Series 4 for certain as some time ago the BBC showed a Dalek trailer showing predictably, a Dalek. The Daleks have been confirmed for the finale suggesting that Davros will come with them. Davros has not been confirmed as of yet and the confirmation of the Daleks in finale is unreliable.

Series 4 Cast

This is the cast of series 4 confirmed so far:
David Tennant as The Doctor
Catherine Tate as Donna Noble
Freema Agyeman as Martha Jones
Billie Piper as Rose Tyler
John Barrowman as Jack Harkness
Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith
Bernard Cribbins as Wilfred Mott
Jacqueline King as Sylvia Noble
Fernella Woolgar as Agatha Christie
Sarah Lancashire as Miss Foster
Christopher Ryan as General Staal
John Leeson as K-9

Some people are of course not on this list because they have either they have not been confirmed or because I forgot (could'nt be bothered) to add them.

Reruns

BBC3 just finished reruns of all three chrismas specials of Doctor Who. They are now all available on the BBC I-player free to watch.

No D in Episode 12

Phil Collinson announced that the title of episode 12 has not been given away for the speculated reason that it has the word Davros in it. Philsaid it has three words and none begin with a D. Does this mean Davros will not be revived?

Georgia Moffat

Gerorgia Moffat will play the Doctor's Daughter in the Series 4 story of Doctor Who named The Doctor's Daughter, she is in fact the daughter of fifth Doctor Peter Davison.

Series 4 Episodes

This is the line up for series 4:

Episode tweleve's title has been left un-released due to it containing plot details or spoilers that will reveal the revived villian due to appear in the finale. Most specualtion points towards Davros as the Daleks have already been confirmed for the finale.

The Fires of Pompeii: Some things are fixed, some things are in flux, and Pompeii is fixed...that's how I see the universe. All the time, every waking second: what is, what was, what could be, what must not. That's the burden of a Time Lord Donna.-The Doctor

Planet of the Ood: The Ood are'nt born like this - a species born to serve could never evolve in the first place. What does the company do to make them obey?-The Doctor
