Apologies if anyone is confused but I had a problem with the theme for my blog (the sidebars died) - this is as the theme was rather old and I updated WordPress, I wasn’t hacked.
Things may be fluid for a few days;-)

As I mentioned when I talked about DWM #468 there must be something to say about The Time of the Doctor signalling 800 transmitted episodes of Doctor Who. This is that very article. And yes, if you click out the image on the left there are 800 copies of the TARDIS; and yes, it would have been more effective to re-colour some of them to write ’800′ in the middle of the picture. Sadly I didn’t.Meanwhile, back at the article…

Another mention for someone else: over on DoctorWho.tv there is a list of bargains to be had this Christmas (2013) if you just shop around. The article also lists some discount codes including one for the Big Finish Main Range so this might be well worth checking if you are about to invest in a few titles.

There’s a really good interview with Orla Brady who plays Tasha Lem in the Christmas Day story Time of the Doctor over on Den of Geek. It’s well worth a read and is here: Orla Brady on Doctor Who, The Time Of The Doctor, filming Matt Smith’s final episode, & Peter Capaldi.
There is little in the way of outright spoilers but a lot of insight into the production process and a possible teaser about a non-human grandmother. Susan anyone?

The Lost Stories are a bit of a mixed bag. Given their genesis this is hardly surprising though it does set a challenge to the reviewer. One could review then as they were made at the time originally intended, review with modern eyes or consider them as wholly new pieces of work. In this article I will do all three as the need arises. The stories all feature the Sixth Doctor and Peri and comprise the series that would have been the1985-86 series 23. BTW I don’t keep that information in my head - there is a useful reference on wikipedia (List of unmade Doctor Who serials and films).
Warning - this is a longer than usual post: draw up a chair and make sure you’re well stocked with jelly babies…

There’s something for everybody in the Christmas edition of DWM (#468 if you’re counting). Yes there’s plenty of reviews of everything on the BBC connected to the anniversary (which was not even three weeks ago) and some looking ahead to the Time of the Doctor. There’s a free poster marking what will be 800 transmitted episodes of the show (there must be a blog post there) and even a thank you to Kate Bush in the credits; why I don’t know.
