The three latest Doctor Who adventures featuring the Fourteenth Doctor and Donna Noble - The Star Beast, Wild Blue Yonder and The Giggle - will become novels.

BBC Books is delighted to announce that it will be expanding the Doctor Who Target range with three new titles in January 2024. The collection are novelisations of the 2023 Doctor Who Specials, which will feature David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor and Catherine Tate as Donna Noble. Each book will have specially commissioned cover artwork by Anthony Dry.

Apparently another "blu ray project" is close to being announced, according to Peter Crocker on Twitter. Some are jumping the gun assuming it's another season set, but it could just as likely be related to the animations or proposed colourisation.

On Skaro, the Daleks need to find a human virgin to sacrifice to ensure that their crops are successful

This is a 35ft tall Dalek made from straw that was created for the Snugbury Ice Cream company in Nantwich in 2013 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Dr Who!

The construction took around 700 man-hours, and it included approximately 6 tonnes of straw and 5 tonnes of steel for the frame. Moving parts were included -the head rotated, the lights flashed and the weapons moved about. There was also audio when you got up close to it!

The cover art to the Big Finish audio play The Creed of the Kromon. Starring Paul McGann as the Doctor. It was released in 2004.
