As you see from the upcoming premieres, there is news on Doctor Who and
Torchwood, which go in the Western Hemisphere and Torchwood sections of TWIDW.
For some of you reading This Week In Doctor Who, change is coming. Outpost
Gallifrey is completely retiring its News Page and Doctor Who Forum. This column
has been on the news page at http://www.gallifreyone.com/thisweek.php for some
time. If you read the column there, or on Outpost Gallifrey's RSS feed, then
your final edition on these sources comes out Saturday July 25 (Outpost
Gallifrey closes the news and forums on July 31st, with the site focusing
exclusively on the Gallifrey conventions in LA each February).
Alternate sources for This Week In Doctor Who:
1) Subscribe to the Yahoo Group for This Week In Doctor Who (as noted at the top
of the column).
2) Read the Yahoo Group on the web without subscribing.
3) Set up the RSS feed (as noted at the top of the column) so you can read new
editions.
4) Go to one of these newsgroups - rec.arts.drwho and rec.arts.drwho.moderated .
It will appear around the same time as the Yahoo Group posting.
5) http://www.gallifreyanembassy.org/vortex?q=blog - This Week In Doctor Who has
a new agreement with the Gallifreyan Embassy site supplying the column as one of
their blogs. I expect there will be some tweaking in future weeks, and the link
may change.
6) Another web site invited me to put the column on their service. I have been
too busy to respond to them with a yes yet and figure out the details. If that
comes together, it should be up by next week. The final number of mirrors is yet
to be determined.
This Week In Doctor Who has been proud to be associated with Outpost Gallifrey
in one form or another since July 1998 when the column began. The column will
stay on the OG News Page till the end in late July.
