The Tenth Doctor as played by David Tennant
As part of this year’s BBC Charity marathon Red Nose Day, there is a chance to have breakfast with not one, not two but seven Doctors! Yes, you can start the day with Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, David Tennant, Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi!
Quick off the mark, following the announcement of Peter Capaldi’s departure, Billie Piper has been asked if she will be playing the next incarnation of the Doctor.

Full marks to Bleeding Cool for their article How Doctor Who’s 50th Anniversary Looked When Christopher Eccleston Was Still In It – And Billie Piper Wasn’t.

The Doctor Who: The Complete History series kicked off with volume 55. While I think the whole series is an expensive indulgence, I suspect a lot of people might buy the first few releases.

Over on Blogtor Who is an exclusive story — David Tennant and Catherine Tate will be recording for Big Finish! No, it isn’t April Fool’s Day (it is the Autumnal Equinox) and this is amazing boundary breaking news (if true). David Tennant is, of course, no stranger to Big Finish!

Another surprise from Big Finish announced today; the fourth story of the new Torchwood range stars Tracy-Ann Overman returning as Yvonne Hartman (so crossing over from Doctor Who). The cast also includes Dan Starkey and Catrin Stewart (two-thirds of the Paternoster Gang, in case anyone thought they might never cross to audio…).
