    The rest of the episodes were named in a press release from the BBC on the 9th of September. The full slate includes:
      •Day of the Clown
      •Secrets of the Stars
      •The Mark of the Beserker
      •The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith
      •Enemy of the Bane

    The series concludes on 8 December 2008 with part two of Sarah Jane's latest encounter with the Bane.

    DW: PodshockDoctor Who: Podshock LIVE podcasts reviewing the 2008 series ("series 4") have been available on our live feed since originally recorded during the 2008 series. Previously these live raw recordings would enter into post-production to be polished and then placed on our main feeds. This year we decided to keep them on their separate feed while the main feeds focused on studio shows and special live appearances podcasts. If you missed the live over-the-net shows reviewing the 2008 series, you can grab them on the live feed or links below.

    Once again these podcasts are right now in their rough, raw, unedited as they were recorded state (with one exception as Dave AC helped by doing post work on one episode (thanks Dave!)). This is not to say that they will not be polished and cleaned up in post-production and made available at a later time. But we don't want that to stall and delay us going forward with new material, new studio shows, etc. So we are offering them up as-is right now in their current unedited state.

    Episodes 117 though 129 cover the entire 2008 series of Doctor Who reviewing each episode as they were transmitted on the BBC. There are few episodes marked with the letter "B" after the episode number to indicate that this was a supplemental live recording for the benefit of fans viewing the 2008 series on the Sci-Fi Channel a few weeks after the BBC transmission.

    General NewsGreetings Everyone,
    It is my hope that this finds you all well. While I have not been a huge poster on the forums, nor community, I do appreciate all the great insights and thoughts throughout the threads and podcasts that I have read and listened to daily. I know a few that have been involved with the podcasts, that I met through DWNY. I would like to share with your community a project that Dr. Kristine Larsen (author of "Stephen Hawking: A Biography" (http://www.amazon.com/Stephen-Hawking-Biography-Kristine-Larsen/dp/1591025745)), my wife Jessica Burke and I are planning. It is a collection dedicated to understanding the mythological and the applicability of the mythical in Doctor Who.

    The Call for Papers for the collection is pasted below any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

    Many thanks and I look forward in speaking with you all,

    Doctor Who News

    If the what The Sun is reporting today is true, it would mean big news for all Doctor Who fans for the upcoming series of specials planned for 2009. The trouble is, by reporting this, we would be giving away a big surprise.... so we won't. Though it is difficult to report on this huge story while keeping it spoiler free.

    The news is so big that if true, it is going to be difficult to contain. So as much as this should stay in the spoiler space, eventually it will get out. That being said, we will keep this in the spoiler zone for the time being. BUT if you do wish to learn the news which appears in an article in The Sun today, this is the link to the said article. BE WARNED -- it will ruin a huge surprise for next year -- We can't even tell you the title of the article, but here is the link to it: (Click at your own risk and no, you will not be 'rickrolled'):

     SJA Series 2 Roundup  View Printable Version  
     Author:  DarthSkeptical

     Viewed:  882 times  
    Sarah Jane Adven...If you know absolutely nothing about Series 2 of The Sarah Jane Adventures, and want to stay totally unspoiled, do not read futher. However, if you're happy with a few minor spoilers, based on verifiable facts like well-reported casting information and official trailers, read on. This report contains nothing about any major plot points.

    Principal photography on the second series of The Sarah Jane Adventures wrapped last week, according to sarahjane.tv. So, this seems as good a time as any to give a Series 2 news roundup for those who may be going through the early stages of Doctor Who withdrawal:

      • Like last year, six hours of programming have been completed. However, this time, all six hours will be broadcast as a single series, meaning that the series will run for 12 consecutive weeks.

      • There was an initial plan to film Series 2 and 3 simultaneously. However, the idea was nixed for budgetary reasons. Apparently, SJA receives the bulk of its funding from the CBBC, rather than the BBC, and there ultimately wasn't enough money in their 2008 budget for advance filming on a series that could potentially be broadcast as late as 2010. Technically, this now means that Series 3 could now potentially be withdrawn from production, although many see it as unlikely that the CBBC would axe their top ratings-earner while the principal talent is still willing to perform.
