SDCC Reddit questions with Matt Smith and Karen Gillan.

We're still not sure as to when the second half of Series 6 will start, the hint from BBC America is The 27th of August, but the trailer has been released, so get your pause buttons ready for analasis!

Those of you lucky enough or ahem brave enough to go to SDCC (San Diago Comic Con) can get this exclusive from Underground Toys, River Song with Pandorica Chair. As to whether it will fit together with last years Pandorica sides which housed a free cd, is anybodys guess.

But it's not the only new piece of new kit from Underground Toys/Character Options, these fortunately aren't exclusives. To this there are Errrrrr.... Cuddly Daleks? yes that's right Soft Daleks which come in red or blue. But that's not all to that a Cuddly TARDIS, both the Daleks and TARDIS have sound and the Tardis's lamp light up as well. 

An exclusive, never-before-seen interview with Doctor Who stars Matt Smith and Arthur Darvill, plus Executive Producer/Lead Writer Steven Moffat, about Amy Pond's surprising ties to the evil of the Universe.

Finally after a long wait the winner of the Blue Peter competition to design a TARDIS console gets her prize.

Items are again up for auction, the picture above is the one I want but have no money for. It's the Rehearsal script for Episode seven from the War Games. It's not the only very interesting piece either, a Original Tardis Model, THe Mona Lisa from "City of Death" and even The Seventh Doctors Tardis Key.

The links follow after the break.

Sam Hodges the Head of Communications confirmed that Series 7 of Doctor Who has been comissioned, with Matt Smith returning as the Doctor.

Later in the day Steven Moffat also confirmed it via Twitter with the following statement.

"14 eps + Matt DEFINITELY. I've got a plan and I'm NOT TELLING YOU WHAT IT IS.

Now hush or River shoots you with her Spoiler Gun."

The Original Voice of the Daleks Roy Skelton has passed away at the age of 79 after suffering a Stroke.

He was also know for providing the voices to the British ITV kids Programme "Rainbow" where his voice talents were used for the Puppets Zippy and George.

Even though Pt.1 of this series has not concluded there is a rather disturbing Trailer for Pt.2 of the season. Click for the full article to view the Trailer. *Possible Spoilers*

This time around it is my absolute pleasure to announce something classic series related. The DVD release of 'Reign of Terror' will have missing episodes 4 & 5 animated, in a 'Invasion' similar style.

There's no real spoilers at all just a nice Intorduction from the Director.

The trailer is only 30 seconds, and contains spoilers. Click on the article if you are absolutely sure you want to see this.

The BBC released this on the Doctor Who Website earlier today.

"Contrary to press reports today we can confirm that no new episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures will be filmed following the tragic death of actress Elisabeth Sladen in April, 2011. As a tribute to Elisabeth the six episodes that were recorded with her last year will be broadcast on CBBC at a date to be confirmed."

There's not much said but interesting all the same.

So after all the big newspaper ranting that Doctor Who is unpopular in the UK, the official Viewing figures have been released by BARB. 

8.86 Million people watched the episode with an Audience appreciation Index of 88 and it was the 6th most watched programme in the week. Now as far as fans are concerned the last bit is the one that counts. The competition are Soap Opera's and reality shows who in all fairness have multiple episodes in a week. It's going to be another week wefore we know what the final figures for "Day of the Moon" are.
