The Eighth Doctor returns to BBC Radio 7 Sunday 16th may when the station begins airing selected stories from the third series of the Big Finish Eighth Doctor Adventures.

Four out of eight stories will be broadcast, from the series first released by Big Finish in 2009. Radio Seven has previously broadcast the first two series of the Eighth Doctor Adventures.

The series starts on BBC Radio 7 on Sunday 16th May at 6pm with a repeat at midnight BST.
Radio 7 can be heard around the world via the BBC Website.

Final figures for Episode Five Flesh and Stone published today by BARB show the story was watched by 8.50 million viewers.

On BBC One the programme got 8.02 million watching where it was the fifth most watched programme for the channel for the week. An additional 0.48 million watched on BBC HD.

The BBC Three Sunday repeat just sneaked into the Top 30 with a confirmed audience of 0.66 million viewers.

Unofficial overnight figures for The Vampires of Venice was watched by 6.2 million viewers with a share of 30.6% of the audience.
5.90 million watched on BBC One, where it was again the most watched programme of the evening, with an additional 0.24 million watching on BBC HD.
The rating was down slightly on the previous week, most probably due to the earlier time slot. On ITV1, Funniest Ever You've Been Framed! had 4.4 million watching.

This is now showing a few parallels with Doctor Who of old, that constantly shifting the times of transmission will mean that viewing figures will drop.

This is a review for The Big Finish Adventure, The City of Spires.  Staring Colin Baker as the 6th Doctor, Frazer Hines as Jamie McCrimmon and Georgia Moffett as Alice.

The Doctor Land hoping to get away from it all, but once again as with a Previous Regeneration, he lands in the Middle of an Important Battle in Scotland.  After managing to convince the Scottish Warrior Black Donald that he's not English, and accepts being called a French Dandy.  The Doctor Notices one very important clue, "Black Donald" is in Fact Jamie McCrimmon.

This Introduction by Arthur is not any where near as Spoilery as Previous Introductions, in fact it's done quite well.

The British Green Party are using this little Ad in their Election Campaign.

As I previously Mensioned the DVD Trailers for Revenge of the Cybermen/ Silver Nemesis and the Extra's for The Dominators had gone before the British Film Board of Classificasion. 

The Release dates have now been given and the delayed release date for Time and the Rani, which had previously been Scheduled for 1st March this year.

The postman delivered my 11th Doctor This morning so here's my review after a little play with it.

In the closing moments of Saturday's Doctor Who episode "The TIme of Angels" as the Doctor was giving his, "The one thing you never put in a trap" speech.  An advert for the next programme, featuring a cartoon of Graham Norton apeared distracting many from the action on screen, and anoying them enough to complain. The BBC promptly apolgised after in thier own words said "thousands of complaints" had been recieved.

This though was not the first time adverts for following shows had blended in at the closing moments of Doctor Who. In 2005 it was Graham Norton who also came up. This is not a new problem as the screen grab from the closing moments of episode 1 of Daleks back in 1963 shows the BBC have been often guilty of this, blending in of adverts for the next programme.

I am a happy very man,

The BBFC have cleared extras for the DVD release of the Second Doctor story The Dominators.
This 1968 five-part story has been expected ever since an official promo for the story was leaked to YouTube at the end of last year. The story stars Patrick Troughton as the Doctor along with Frazer Hines as Jamie and Wendy Padbury as Zoe.

Extras Cleared:

The Overnight Viewing figures are out for the Time of Angels.  6.8 Million watched and that's a combined BBC 1 and BBC HD number as the episode was simulcast.  it also managed to grab 36% of the viewing Audience.  As it looks there seems to be a steady number of viewers now, and the full figures will be known in 10n days.

The Title of the first of the New Doctor Who Adventure Games for Mac or PC has been anounced as,

City of the Daleks, and will be Available as a free Download from the BBC on 5th June 2010, to that point Phil Ford the Writer had this to say.

Revenge of the Cybermen and Silver Nemesis Have been cleared by the British Board of Film Classification as a Double DVD Trailer.  As to when this box set will be realsed is anybody's Guess, and with Two of the most unpopular Cybermen stories of all time, one wonders what sales they will get.  But that said it will be in my Pre-order list as soon as it's available, I'm somewhat of a Cyber-collector. "EXCELENT!"
