WHAT EVERY WHOVIAN HAS ALWAYS KNOWN!

Cybermen took the stage last night in celebration of Doctor Who being awarded 'Best British TV Show' at the Radio 1 Teen Awards.

As the evening was packed with some of the biggest names in the television and music industry, celebrities gathered along with fans who were treated to a night of epic proportions, as well as a pair of delighted Cybermen who were all too happy to accept the award on-stage.

The evening's aim was to honour the most popular television programmes of 2013, hosted by Rita Ora and Nick Grimshaw. Votes for each winner were made by the general public, who were happy to name Doctor Who as their favourite show. An apprehensive-looking Taylor Swift presented the award.

The nominees for 'Best British TV Show' are as follows:

• Coronation Street
• Doctor Who
• Geordie Shore
• Phone Shop
• Youngers

As well as celebrating the best in entertainment, a select few teenage heroes from around the UK were also given awards for bravery.

FIRST 50TH TRAILER!

At last, fans are given the first official trailer for the upcoming special episode 'The Day Of The Doctor'.



With a strong sense of nostalgia, this exciting new video provides fans with the first glimpse of the episode...even if there isn't any direct footage.

Going on a step-by-step journey through each incarnation, viewers can also see the William Hartnell Doctor in colour for the first time.

Certainly raising the scale of the show, The Doctor himself fantastically describes the theme of the episode:

"I've been running all my lives. Through time and space. Every second of every minute of every day for over 900 years. I fought for peace in a universe at war. Now the time has come to face the choices I have made in the name of The Doctor. Our future depends on one single moment of one impossible day, the day I've been running from all my life. The Day of the Doctor."

...anyone excited?

WHO COMES TO COMIC-CON!

If you were lucky enough to be in Cardiff over the weekend, chances are you may have noticed a slight increase in excitement coming from the Motorpoint Arena. Thanks to some dedicated fans, a few kind celebrities and the occasional Dalek, what you stumbled upon was none other than Cardiff Comic-Con 2013.

With a crowd of fans stretching all the way around the building as their favourite hero/villain/Doctor, enthusiasm was at a high from the very beginning. Within seconds, any passer-by would see Spiderman, Doctor Who and Darth Vader  in casual chatter and ready to enjoy the day - a day that was undeniably a success.

Yet even with its ridiculously diverse fanbase, Who still managed to have its own place in the hall, with celebrities and fans alike sharing their passion for the show in their own special way.

Attending stars from Who included Colin Baker, Frazer Hines, Kai Owen, Anthony Head, John Leeson, Mat Irvine and Laurie Goode, all of which were heavily involved in talking to the fans on a one-to-one basis.

Who was also the subject of many cosplayers, dressing as their favourite characters including the uncanny Matt Smith incarnation (found below) and a surprisingly original TARDIS-inspired gown.

The showdown we all want to see.

Candy Jar Books' own Terry Cooper also made his own appearance as everyone's favourite pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow. Having spent Sunday entirely in-character for 10 hours straight, he's certainly a performer worth admiring! Check out his official Facebook page here.

In hindsight, the two-day event was a wonderful way for fans to meet their heroes, as well as to celebrate an ever-growing source of imagination. After all, where else would we see Cybermen dancing with the Doctor if not our television screens?

*CYBERMEN SPOILER ALERT!!!!*

Latest bit of news direct from New Zealand, where DW voice supremo NICK BRIGGS did a Q&A.

He has said.....


DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU WANT TO AVOID SPOILERS!

He has said that the Cybermen soon to be seen in the upcoming episode 'Nightmare In Silver' will NOT be the Cybus/ alternative universe ones, but the 'original' Cybermen from Mondas. He also said that they 'Don't speak very much', and that he's recorded a whole range of different sounding voices, from the 'Tenth Planet' style, to a 'Vocoder' style... But he doesn't know which ones will ultimately be used in the episode!

NEIL GAIMAN EPISODE GETS TITLE

Neil Gaiman's second Doctor Who episode will be called Nightmare In Silver.

The writer has penned a new script featuring classic Doctor Who monster, the Cybermen. Gaiman told Digital Spy last year that he would only be willing to return if he could outdo himself,

"If I ever come up with a plot that is better than [The Doctor's Wife]... I would absolutely come back to it." he said.

We have faith that Gaiman can deliver.

The Doctor returns in The Bells of Saint John on March 30th.
