Timelink: The Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to Continuity in Doctor Who
An in-depth exploration of the complex continuity of the world's longest running science fiction television programme, Doctor Who. Over fifteen years in the making, Timelink offers a different perspective on the history of the universe as told through the many adventures of the Doctor. Author Jon Preddle presents fresh theories and solutions to some of the many continuity anomalies and discrepancies in the series.This is one book that no self-respecting fan of Doctor Who can be without. The analysis encompasses both the original series which ran from 1963 to 1989, the one-off Paul McGann TV Movie of 1996, the 2005 - 2008 Doctor Who revival helmed by Russell T Davies, as well as Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.
'Preddle's stamina, invention and clever observations have the grey matter firing - and somehow, he makes this beast readable… The author has spent a decade calculating the Doctor's age, defining a Gallifreyan year and working out when Snakedancing was banned on Manussa - and the resultant work would take another ten years to fully absorb. Almost endless, Timelink is the answer to everything you never thought you wanted to know.'

Not your mother's Torchwood...
Nicholas Courtney: The Returning Hero
December, 1974. A new Doctor. A new era. But the same old Brigadier with Tom Baker's debut as the Doctor in Robot giving little hint of the huge changes that lay ahead... Nicholas Courtney was back as the Brig and for the moment it was business as usual with the Doctor/Lethbridge-Stewart relationship seeming as strong as ever.
Indeed, Nicholas would later recall how quickly he and Tom Baker struck up a firm and what proved to be an enduring friendship. The two clearly worked well together and the scenes featuring both the Brigadier and the Doctor are amongst Robot's stand out moments. Although UNIT didn't feature in the rest of the Fourth Doctor's first season, Nicholas was back for Terror of the Zygons, a 4-part story that finished on 20 September, 1975. But following this, the Brigadier would be off our screens until 1983.
In his autobiography, Nicholas recalled that whilst filming Terror of the Zygons he suspected it would be the Brigadier's final appearance. Doctor Who was returning to its roots which meant fewer stories set on late twentieth century Earth and less opportunity for the Doctor to help out UNIT and the Brigadier. Nicholas took advantage of Lethbridge-Stewart's absence to return to the theatre. Throughout the 70s he appeared in an impressive array of stage shows - with the legendary Celia Johnson in a West End production of The Dame of Sark, Kate O'Mara in the thriller Double Edge and opposite Bernard Bresslaw in the farce, There Goes the Bride. He played the lead in Michael Frayn's Donkey's Years and the narrator for a touring production of The Rocky Horror Show. He appeared in TV productions including a comedy by Galton and Simpson and somehow found time to feature in a number of radio dramas. The Brigadier may have hung up his peaked cap, but Nicholas Courtney remained a busy man!
Seven years after Terror of the Zygons, Nicholas took a call from Doctor Who producer John Nathan-Turner. Would he be interested in resurrecting the Brigadier? Nicholas was back as Lethbridge-Stewart in Mawdryn Undead, this time playing opposite Peter Davison, the Fifth Doctor. His return was universally applauded and showed that the public's affection for Nicholas Courtney's Brigadier had never dimmed. In 1983 the show marked its twentieth anniversary with the celebratory special, The Five Doctors. The Brigadier's absence would have been unthinkable and sure enough, Nicholas was involved, playing the majority of his scenes opposite Patrick Troughton, the Second Doctor.
Five years later Nicholas found himself in Brighton with John Nathan-Turner discussing the death of the Brigadier. The producer wanted to give the character a grand send-off in an Arthurian adventure that would eventually open the show's twenty-sixth season and although Nicholas agreed, it turned out that recording dates clashed with another project that was desperate for his involvement. Nicholas later recalled that his love of Doctor Who was one factor that swayed him, and so it was that he turned down the other job and returned to Doctor Who one last time.
The story became Battlefield and co-starred Jean Marsh who had featured in Nicholas' very first Doctor Who outing over twenty years earlier. Fortunately, the end of the adventure was re-written. Nathan-Turner realised that so much was happening at the story's climax that the Brigadier's death would not receive the focus it deserved. And so the old soldier lived to fight another day! On 27 September, 1988, Nicholas Courtney made his final appearance in Doctor Who. We left Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart in contented retirement, living in a huge house with his wife, Doris. In his final scene he is with the Doctor (by now played Sylvester McCoy) and having saved the world once again, the two old friends are content to simply spend a little time together.
It certainly felt like the natural end for the Brigadier, but for Nicholas Courtney and the character he made famous, there would be much more drama ahead!

Nicholas Courtney: A Soldier in Time
After his first appearance in Doctor Who, Nicholas returned to the stage before playing Bill Page in the 1966 thriller, Watch the Birdies. Although this was his first lead in a television serial, he became a familiar face on the small screen throughout the 1960s, appearing in classic shows such as The Avengers, The Saint, Callan, The Champions and Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) where he starred opposite Roger Delgado, soon to be famous as the Master.
Director Douglas Camfield brought Nicholas back to the world of Doctor Who in 1968 for the Second Doctor adventure, The Web of Fear. Originally down to play the short-lived Captain Knight, Nicholas ended up with a promotion when the actor due to appear as a certain colonel dropped out. And so on 17 February, 1968, Nicholas Courtney appeared as Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart for the first time. Shortly afterwards it was decided that the character should be elevated to Brigadier and become a regular as the head of UNIT's UK branch with the Doctor operating alongside the organisation. The premise was tested in the Cyberman story, The Invasion. It worked well and when Doctor Who returned in 1970 for the Third Doctor's debut season, Nicholas was onboard as a regular.
As Doctor Who's Lead Writer and Executive Producer, Steven Moffat, recently noted, 'Nicholas Courtney... as the Brigadier carved a very special place in the history of Doctor Who. Not just because he could be grave and funny at the same time, and wise and silly in the same moment, and not just because you could still love him when he was clearly in the wrong, or because he could point a gun at you and still somehow twinkle - but because out of all the people the Doctor has met, in all of space and time, Nicholas Courtney's Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart was the only one who was ever his boss.'
The Brigadier was a military man with a heart, frustrated by the Doctor but fond of him. His scenes with the Time Lord were always a treat with Nicholas delivering beautifully nuanced performances, deftly conveying humour and gravitas as the moment demanded. He became an integral part of the Third Doctor's era and the show's central relationship for most of that period - the Doctor, his companion, the Brigadier and a handful of lower ranking soldiers - became affectionately known as the UNIT family.
For the Third Doctor's swansong, Planet of the Spiders, the Brigadier was scripted as entering the final scene as the Doctor was mid-regeneration, demanding to know what was going on. Appropriately enough it was Nicholas who suggested the version that was ultimately shot. In this, Lethbridge-Stewart is with Sarah Jane when the Doctor collapses and begins to change. As the Fourth Doctor appears before them, the Brigadier declares, 'Well, here we go again!'

And with those prophetic words, a new era was being ushered in, for Doctor Who and for Nicholas Courtney...

Dr who series 6 + 7 - Some interesting speculation about Cybermen and stuff
A "Poster" on gallifrey base indicates that some elements of the plotline The Rebel Flesh and Gangers might not be fully resolved until the end of the series. Another "poster" suggests that the Matthew Graham penned two-parter contains a plot point that leads directly in to the mid-series finale Demons Run. The same "Poster" indicates that the Cybermen appear in Gangers and Demons Run (as well as Episode Thirteen) which could well be or at least be involved in the plot point that from one episode to the other.Read more at Doctor who spoilers

Brand New Fan Fiction - Power of the Heart
A new fan fiction series is on the horizon, and it’s been a while coming. The series is being produced by me, Emma Lousie , and James Gray (Doctor who fansite), and Adam Holmes as part of our new project called The Doctor Who F.A.N. Project (“F.A.N.” being for fiction, art and novelisations) and is written by me and Emma.
The series goes by the title of Doctor Who: Power Of The Heart and features the Tenth Doctor and our original companion Maddy Ramos.
Maddy is a 19-year-old Spanish-American girl who lives in the sleepy town of Summervale set in the US state of New Jersey. She was left with just her father and three brothers at the age of 2 years when her mother disappeared, seemly from the face of the Earth, and left just a small, green-jewelled necklace for Maddy. It’s only until the day of her nineteenth birthday that she discovered exactly why –the day she bumps into a man in a brown suit who changes her life forever.
And, here’s the opening titles for the series, with a slight (ok pretty obvious) clue to the title of the first episode…
Doctor Who: Power Of The Heart is due to begin in March 2011 in a 12-part series of 4 stories.
Will you read Power Of The Heart? What do you think? Please comment.

Who's Who for Time Lord Matt Smith
It's a real who's Who ... TV Time Lord Matt Smith came face to face with a life-size replica of himself.
The Doctor Who actor met his double as he attended the launch of a new exhibition dedicated to the BBC1 series.
As well as confronting himself, the actor encountered dozens of past foes at Olympia 2 in Kensington, west London.
They included the many incarnations of Daleks and Cybermen from throughout the ages. More modern foes include Judoon and Weeping Angels, while Ice Warriors from Patrick Troughton's era as The Doctor and the Giant Robot from the Tom Baker era also feature.
Matt, 28, had a cast made of his entire face, to allow model makers to put together his double over a two month period, which stands guard outside the Tardis.
The star straightened his model's bow tie as they met. Smith said: "I think he's sort of a bit musclier than I am!
"It's a surreal experience to have an image of yourself in 3D. So weird but one of the wonderful privileges of this particular job - you get rather mad experiences."
A Christmas Carol OST CD
The soundtrack, which features music from the 2010 Doctor Who Christmas Special, will also feature Katherine Jenkins on a track titled 'Abigail's Song'.The music is composed by Murray Gold and performed by the excellent BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Crouch End Festival Chorus.

Dalek 1: I said immediately!

Dalek 1: Your legs are paralyzed. You will recover shortly unless you force us to use our weapons again, in that case the condition will be permanent. You two, help him.

The Doctor Who Experience: Making It Happen part 3
Take two years, over 150,000 construction hours, installation experts, animators, writers, designers, restoration specialists and actors. Add an army of monsters, some spectacular sets, cinema screens and smoke, then blend well and what do you get? The Doctor Who Experience. Well, not quite. Because it's clear there's another ingredient that's not so easily definable.
Paula Al-Lach, Head of Exhibitions and Events at BBC Worldwide, the organisation responsible for the Experience, reflected, 'Everything about this project has been a challenge, but a really enjoyable challenge.' She comes close to defining that extra ingredient when she adds, 'What has been so brilliant about it is that everybody involved just loves Doctor Who.'

Step Inside the TARDIS... Dr who experience part 2
In the very first episode of Doctor Who, two school teachers forced their way into a big blue box and found themselves in a machine that could take them anywhere in the universe, past, present or future. It marked the start of an incredible series of exploits. So it's fitting that almost fifty years later, the TARDIS doors are once again being flung open but this time it's visitors to the Doctor Who Experience that get the chance to journey through time and space, taking part in their own adventure...
The latest version of the TARDIS has been pain-stakingly recreated at the Doctor Who Experience. Many of the artefacts that were used on the original set were unique one-offs and so a dedicated team were tasked with building them from new, using photographs, videos, original designs and a dizzying level of detail. Did they get it right? Take a look at the gallery above and decide for yourself!
The TARDIS isn't just some static set, though. There's noise, lights and motion so it's as though the time machine is crashing through the cosmos. And like every good trip in what the Doctor called his 'frankly magnificent time ship', it's just the start of the story!
Aside from the Eleventh Doctor's TARDIS you can check out the versions piloted by the Fifth, Ninth and Tenth Doctors. Take a look at our gallery to remind yourself of previous console rooms... which was your favourite?

Dr who quotes The black guardian The Armageddon Factor

Doctor Who Experience, Part One
By now you've probably heard about the Doctor Who Experience but if you can't make it to London to enjoy it first-hand, don't panic! Over the week ahead we're bringing some of the Doctor Who Experience to you, with exclusive galleries, videos and the inside story of the whole spectacular.
The Doctor Who Experience has been described as 'the ultimate Doctor Who Adventure' and is part immersive experience, part interactive exhibition. Specially written scenes featuring Matt Smith as the Doctor, plus some fiendishly inventive sets, incredible FX and surprises conspire to make the Experience more than just an exhibition.
The premise of the immersive adventure is to take visitors through their very own journey across time and space, helping the Doctor, dealing with Daleks and whirling through a breath-taking world that's normally reserved for the Time Lord's companions...
But aside from the excitement of that story (and we can't give too much away!) there's a TARDIS-load of sets, monsters and mementoes from the show itself. The scope is ambitious and covers everything from the first ever episode back in 1963 to the latest series. We'll be bringing you an insight into much of this journey, from visiting Starship UK to trips though the various versions of the Doctor's time machine, giving you a glimpse into what makes the Experience such a full-on phenomenon!
The Doctor Who Experience opens in London on Sunday 20th Feb. We'll be there for the official opening, sharing the low-down from the launch... always assuming we make it past the Angels, Zygons and other old enemies!
