RARE VIDEO INTERVIEW WITH NICHOLAS COURTNEY

A rare treat for fans of the Brigadier... An uncut interview with Nicholas Courtney from 1996, filmed shortly after the Doctor Who TV Movie was transmitted, and conducted by Shaun Russell, editor-in-chief of Candy Jar Books.

DOCTOR WHO-GLE!

Just when we thought there couldn't possibly be any more surprises ready for tomorrow's broadcast, Google goes and puts their own spin on the madness.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary, the internet giant gave users the chance to go on their own mini adventure in the form of a cute little isometric platformer game.

Choose one of the 11 pixelated Doctors as you take on the Daleks and traverse dangerous terrain. But worry not, if you die, you simply regenerate into the next incarnation, a nice little touch for us fans.

WHO'S WHO?

Amidst all the excitement surrounding the royal baby let’s not get distracted from what’s really important; who’ll be the new Who? According to RadioTimes.com we could know by next month; the BBC is, apparently, seriously considering revealing the identity of the new Doctor on a Doctor Who Confidential special, as done with the introduction of Matt Smith in 2010.

According to the same source, the 50th anniversary episode of Doctor Who will feature one of the pre-Eccleston Doctors, either Paul McGann, Colin Baker, Sylvestor McCoy, Peter Davison or Tom Baker. With David Tennant returning for the highly anticipated episode, that’ll make three Doctors on call - four if you count John Hurt. Having some back-up, however, might be a sane move when facing both the Zygons and the Daleks.

STEWPOT'S DOCTOR WHOOOOO!

Here's a little treat we've unearthed from the archives: Stewpot's Fun Book from 1977 by Look-In featured jokes, stories, riddles, limericks and comic strips (including one based on Doctor Who, which we've scanned in for your 70s nostalgic pleasure!).

Yes, that's right, the Zygons are back! We haven't seen them since the Fourth Doctor adventure, Terror of the Zygons and although this was their only proper appearance, they still remain a firm fan favourite.

We can't wait to see them back on our screens... more news as we get it. Wahey!
