Doctor Who - Day Of The Moon
The Doctor is locked in the perfect prison while Amy, Rory and River Song are being hunted down across America by the FBI, as the time-travelling adventure series continues.With the help of new friend and FBI-insider Canton Everett Delaware the Third, our heroes are reunited to share their discoveries, if not their memories. The world is occupied by an alien force that controls humanity through post-hypnotic suggestion, and no one can be trusted.
Aided by President Nixon and Neil Armstrong's foot, the Doctor must mount a revolution to drive out the enemy and rescue the missing little girl. No one knows why they took her. Or why they have kidnapped Amy Pond...
SFX'S Spoiler free preview of Dr who Day of the moon!
1 There are another two cracking bits of physical comedy from Matt Smith, one involving him almost falling over, and another involving his teeth2 The episode opens very unexpectedly, almost disorientatingly, but the whole precredit sequence is just stunning
3 There’s a very silly stunt involving one of the TARDIS’s rooms, that may make you cringe, but made us laugh (and got a cheer at the preview screening)
4 Pay close attention to the discussion following the “bow tie” moment at the start of the episode; what may seem like a throwaway comment actually becomes vital later on
5 Rory’s emotions are put through the wringer. Again
6 Rory briefly gets a new look. So does River, but Rory’s is more striking and may win him some new fans
7 The TARDIS can’t seem to make its mind up about someone
8 The gay agenda is back… again
9 There’s snogging
10 There are two great action sequences, one of them ludicrous, but stupidly fun
11 The writing’s on the wall
12 Nixon’s final expression in the episode is a doozy
13 A famous British TV personality gets a mention
14 You want answers? Prepare for even more questions first
15 There’s a great beauty shot just after the Doctor is discovered tinkering somewhere he shouldn’t be
16 Karen Gillan is getting better and better and better…
17 Some more Moffat tropes are given the dust down
18 Unless you’ve had inside information, you will NEVER predict what happens in the final scene
19 Has somebody wandered in off the set of Twin Peaks?
20 If you liked part one, we don’t think you’ll be disappointed in part two – it’s pacier, creepier and just as full of “Huh?!” moments, though maybe it’s not quite as witty, and doesn’t have the shock of the new. But there’s still an awful lot of information to take in. Then again, that also means you’re still picking up on clever little moments the third, fourth and fifth time you watch it.
The Lost Stories 2:03 Thin Ice

146: Heroes of Sontar
Peter Davison (The Doctor), Janet Fielding (Tegan Jovanka), Mark Strickson (Vislor Turlough), Sarah Sutton (Nyssa)
Planet Samur was once a peaceful haven. Pilgrims journeyed across the seven galaxies to meditate in the courtyards of the vast Citadel that spanned its equator. It was Samur’s misfortune, however, to find itself situated on the furthermost frontier in the eternal war between the amoeboid Rutan Host and the belligerent, troll-like Sontarans…
Twenty years after detonating a bacteriological weapon over Samur, rendering it uninhabitable, the Sontarans are back: a select platoon of seven has landed here on a secret mission, carrying sealed orders given to them by Fleet Marshal Stabb.
The TARDIS has landed here, too, bringing the Doctor, Tegan, Turlough and Nyssa into the second great Battle of Samur. Fighting not only the Sontarans, but mystical mercenaries… and a deadly, decades-old curse.

Colin Baker: Gallimaufry Short Story Collection
Pre-order a SIGNED Copy
Colin Baker is a prolific writer. Here, for the first time, is a collection of his short stories which deal in subjects as diverse as murder, mystery, true love, ingenuity, despair and farcical misunderstandings, with a hint of horror here and there as well as some insight into the minds of some unusual people. If you like your stories with a twist there are some surprises and shocks to be found.

A Likely Story
A smug and implacably harsh magistrate finds himself in a situation where he has to radically re-appraise his former attitudes.

A Matter of Form
Martin didn't want to work in the solicitors' office - but his father decided otherwise. However Martin's first day proved more interesting than he had expected.
This is a truly diverse collection of short stories - something for everyone.

Dr who series 6 update
Sometime ago i posted that Amy will fall pregnant in series 6 and that River song maybe her daughter. Well Doctor who spoilers posted an artical yesterday Suggesting that River maybe the daughter of Idris (The Doctor's Wife) but i don't thing she is But a poster on GallifreyBase says - River Song is the daughter of Amy Pond. Pond to River, there was a reason for the names. And over on the twitter side of filming tweets from billy sastard and Mugim0e tweeted about the events from filming
Mugim0e: River is wearing camo gear
Mugim0e: Amy and River talking and drinking wine
billy_sastard: River (laughing); "…of course i know him, I’m his [spoiler]"
Another poster on GallifreyBase says that.....
In episode 13, we see a version of River from series five. Specifically, wearing the clothes from the end of Flesh and Stone. Amy greets her, and asks how she is. River says she's just climbed out of the Byzantium. "It was so much fun, wasn't it mother?" (paraphrased, not the actual line), she remarks. River says what's rule one with the Doctor; he lies. River says she does to, how its been so hard seeing Amy, Rory and the Doctor, and knowing who she really is (Amy's daughter) but not being able to say. Curiously, she also says she recognised the space man in 1969 but had to stay quiet.

Doctor Who': Ten teasers about 'Day of the Moon
1. There's a touch of the 2000 film Memento about this episode.
2. "You're building me the perfect ****** and it still won't be enough!"
3. The Tardis swimming pool plays a vital role in a daring escape attempt.
4. Watch out for a terrifically creepy performance from Kerry Shale, who plays the disturbed Dr. Renfrew.
5. At least one of the shocking twists from last week's episode is called into question, but who can The Doctor really trust?
6. If you don't feel sorry for Rory at least once while watching this episode, then you're truly heartless.
7. Speaking of Rory, if you've been wondering whether he remembers his 2000 years as Amy's plastic guardian, then this episode provides a definitive answer.
8. "Night terrors...with a hotline to the White House."
9. The Doctor has a new experience, while River does something for the very last time.
10. The final scene contains an absolutely shocking twist.

Elisabeth Sladen: Whos That Girl: The Autobiography
When Elisabeth Sladen first appeared as plucky journalist Sarah Jane Smith in 1973 Doctor Who story The Time Warrior, little did she know the character would become one of the most enduring and fondly remembered in the series' history. The coming years would see her traverse time and space alongside classic Doctors Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker, whilst a generation of children crouched behind the sofa, terrified but transfixed as their tea time heroine found herself menaced by Daleks, dinosaurs, Cybermen, man-eating alien flora, Egyptian mummies, extras in Bubble Wrap and even the Loch Ness Monster. By the time she quit the TARDIS in 1976, making front page news, Elisabeth had become one of the most familiar faces of a TV golden age. But that wasn't the end of Sarah Jane. Since then Elisabeth has reprised the role many times appearing in anniversary specials; a 1981 spin-off with robotic sidekick K-9; radio plays; and for the BBC's Children in Need. She's toured the weird, wide and wonderful world of Doctor Who fandom and regularly tops polls of fans' all time favourite companions. So when TV wunderkind Russell T. Davies approached her to come back again, this time to a Doctor Who backed by multi-million pound budgets and garlanded with critical plaudits, how could she possibly say no? Now Elisabeth Sladen tells the story of her remarkable career: a unique, insider's view of the world's longest running science fiction series; and of British television yesterday and today. Funny, ridiculous, insightful and entertaining hers is the story of another girl, another planet. Elisabeth Sladen plays companion Sarah Jane Smith in Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures. She has also appeared in Coronation Street, Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em and Z-Cars.See it Here
