And the BBC have implored people who have read them, after BBC Miami placed the scripts and the videos on an open, Googleable server for translation purposes. But the Scottish edition of Rupert Murdoch's Sun newspaper, from which there is little love lost with the BBC, has decided to ignore that request. Initially they cover feature a[...]

The first five scripts of series 8 have been leaked online.  A certain individual's watermarked copies as well, coming out of Miami, it seems, where the BBC recently opened offices. And they are currently running around the internets and are pretty easy to find, along with many fans debating whether to read them or not[...]

The BBC have posted a new teaser trailer for Doctor Who Season 8 where we get to see a little deeper into Peter Capaldi's version of The Doctor and hear what seems to be a somewhat familiar voice… at least it sounds like Davros to me.

Sadly, I got diverted to the pub around 8.15 and didn't make it to the BBC until 10.45 The make-up ladies could see me doing that drunken sweat and somehow, kindly, patched me up and I realised, as I was sitting in the chair, th at I was slurring my words slightly But somehow you can't[...]

Spoilers on. Warren Ellis on the BBC's Edge Of Darkness. On the writer.

He was one of the great writers of[...]

As part of their Freedom 2014 season, the BBC has commissioned a new webcomic from Grant Morrison and Rian Hughes, entitled The Key. It can be read in its entirety, here.

They confirmed to be the news I'd had from BBC America, that Titan Comics, despite being based in Britain, publishing a British licensed comic, from British comic book creators, will not be available in print in Britain At least not officially Panini continue to own the UK license, for the monthly Doctor Who Magazine and[...]

From sources close to folk from Doctor Who production... only twice removed, these ones. But a lot less spoilery than our earlier post. Peter Capaldi is

The following article is a mixture of speculation, of guesswork, of sources and of gossip. It may be completely wrong. But if correct, it would be one hell of a Doctor Who spoiler. So, consider yourself completely and utterly warned if you take one more step.

It looks at Quitely's worklife, his studio and his process, specifically focusing on Jupiter's Legacy, We3 and All Star Superman. And, warning, it has some spoilers for the issue of Jupiter's[...]

It does seem a little ridiculous. A British publisher, employing British creators, licensing a British TV show from a British broadcaster cannot sell the comics in Britain.

I do know what it is but I'm not going to tell you. BBC, Steven Moffat, the rest is up to you. When I got the chance to tell a Doctor Who story, for IDW's comics line, I used a story I'd had in my head for years, Room With A Deja Vu, with a criminal[...]

Tomorrow sees Matt Smith's final appearance as The Doctor in The Time of The Doctor. And the first appearance of anything more than Peter Capaldi's eyes

We didn't exactly know how big it was going to be and the The Omnirumor strode across all known media. We ran a few followup articles, and even the BBC got in touch to tell us, well, very little it seemed. But one of the main factors was that this wasn't just Doctor Who we were talking[...]
