Tales of the TARDIS is out NOW! The book consists of eight brand new #DoctorWho stories written by me, myself and I - but there are also some prologues from some of the Whoniverse’s greatest actors/writers. 🛸 I am so grateful to have created new adventures for the Doctor. ❤️❤️

‘COYOTE VS ACME’ has passed ‘SUPERGIRL’ to become the highest-grossing movie produced by Warner Bros this Summer. The film was almost permanently deleted by Warner Bros for a tax write-off.

Sadie Miller's forthright opinion about those AI videos that use generated voice and imagery of her late mother Lis Sladen. She's absolutely right!

@DEADLINEOct 7
EXCLUSIVE: Could Jed Mercurio be about to take control of the TARDIS? Deadline can reveal that the 'Line of Duty' showrunner is spearheading a bid to produce 'Doctor Who' after the BBC launched a competitive tender, a bake-off-style process in which producers have put forward plans to regenerate the iconic sci-fi series. Or could the TARDIS soon be spinning its way to Scotland? Deadline is told STV Studios, the production group behind 'Blue Lights' and 'Criminal Record,' has made an audacious bid to move the show north of the English border for Season 17.

Complaining Doctor Who fans need to grow up

The people taking issues with new programmes don't seem to appreciate that Doctor Who is a family show.
