Sad and happy news for fans of the Doctor Who audio episodes on BBC Radio 7 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio7 . The sad news - Radio 7 still has not bought the final 2 episodes of the current series of stories you have been listening to, so the run is halted. The happy news - Radio 7 will repeat the Christmas themed Doctor Who story The Chimes Of Midnight at 1 episode per week for the next 4 Sundays (30 November through 21 December). Episodes are roughly 30 minutes each. The Chimes Of Midnight stars Paul McGann as the Doctor and India Fisher as Charley Pollard. |
|
Lots of Doctor Who marathons (and a Sarah Jane one) coming up in December all over the world. |

In section B, PBS station KTEH San Jose, CA http://blogs.kteh.org/doctorwho is having a Doctor Who competition over YouTube with an interesting prize. Those of us outside KTEH's viewing area or ineligible to win the grand prize can still submit videos for exhibition purposes. |

October Genesis of the Daleks pts 1+2 of 6 Illusion TV is a service providing science fiction On Demand programming to cable providers (no deals with satellite companies yet). If your digital cable service has Illusion TV, all programming is offered for free with commercials. See the website to determine if your provider may offer this service.
