SFX in association with BBC Books has launched a competition for the Description of the 11th Doctor  in a Target book Novelisation style.  Anybody who has read the Target books will be aware each doctor had an Unique Description for each of the Doctors. "He had and old young face" is part of the Description for Pertwee's 3rd Doctor.

This past Thursday (May 20, 2010), Doctor Who: Podshock recorded a live show at the book launch party for The Mythological Dimensions of Doctor Who. Taking place at Fiddlesticks Pub & Grill in Manhattan (NYC), Ken, Billy and I arrived to see the venue was swarming with activity. Having passed it many times, I believe I have a vague memory being a patron there some years ago. I can recommend their veggie burgers (Ken and Billy equally recommend their other burgers).

Doctor Who: Podshock had a fantastic time recording a live show at the book launch party of The Mythological Dimensions of Doctor Who on Thursday evening. The event took place at Fiddlesticks Pub and Grill in Manhattan (NYC). Joining Ken Deep and Louis Trapani on our live show were book contributors and editors Anthony S Burdge, Jessica Burke, Kristine Larsen, and Melody Green. Look forward to hearing the live show soon in an upcoming episode of Doctor Who: Podshock.
