It was recently announced that Euros Lyn, who has directed 9 episodes of Doctor Who before, will return to direct the final 2 episodes featuring David Tennant as The Tenth Doctor. Tracie Simpson reports:

"The Production Tem has moved heaven and earth to Shackle Euros to Upper Boat, cos everyone loves working with him so much - bye the time he's moved directing Torchwood Children of Earth, back on to Doctor Who, he'll have spent an entire year with us! And this means, of course, that Euros will be handling David Tennant's final adventure as the Doctor, which promises to be a piece of television history!"

'K-9' Coming Soon

Who's a good dog?

K9 is a new Australian spin-off to Doctor Who and I suppose to The Sarah Jane Adventures too, that features our favourite Robot Dog!. The show is created by Paul Tams and Bob Baker. There will be 13 blocks, comprising of two half hour episodes each.

Principal Photography is set to end on May 7th.

"We first planned and created the show back in 1998, so it has taken 11 years to get to the production stage. It has been a long and rocky road and we are working with some very talented people here: actors, artists, sculptors, costume-makers. The schedule is very hectic and full on."

K9 is expected to begin later this year.

David Tennant - Comic Relief Promos

Review - Journal of Impossible Things

The Journal of Impossible Things is a very detailed approach to the actual one that featured in the Human Nature/Family of Blood 2 - parter. It features 78 pages, in which 21 of them are blank so you can write anything you like on it. It features the pages that you've seen in the episode, and I think it even features a bit more that were added in to make it longer. You can view some of the pictures put together below. It includes Pictures of The Cybermen, The Slitheen, Daleks, Rose, All Ten Doctors and many many more! The only thing, that did dissapoint me though, is that you simply can't read the writing! But it does make it look good and sort of old fashioned though. The Journal of Impossible Things set comes with a mini-sonic screwdriver which I did actually like, even though I have the normal one and the future one, but it's still good and much more compact, but that doesn't mean It's better than the normal ones! It has a blue LED light and it's a pen too, It's much more easier to write with this one, rather than the bigger one. I think this Journal of Impossible Things and Mini-Sonic Screwdriver set deserves an 8/10, and it's a great buy! You can buy it in Argos now at the price of £9.79 and other stores like Forbidden Planet.
