WETWORLD review

Current competitions online: K9 TALES boxset, THE BRAIN OF MORBIUS (BBC DVD) and THE TRIAL OF A TIME LORD (BBC DVD).

RANDOM HOUSE is publishing Russell T Davies' (with Ben Cook) THE WRITER'S TALE publication on 13 November 2008.

The publication (360 pages) details "the untold story of the BBC series". This sounds like a memoir for the departing Executive. Perhaps, by November the scripts for the 2009 Specials will have been written so RTD will be "speaking his mind".

All very JNT.

The official BBC photos for THE UNICORN AND THE WASP will be released at midnight on Tuesday 13 May (well, a minute after...), and will be available at the link below.

THE UNICORN AND THE WASP episode guide

Oh, there's (right) THE TALONS OF WENG-CHIANG (1977) actor, Christopher Benjamin as Hugh in THE UNICORN AND THE WASP too.

SERIES 3 writer (and SERIES 5 expected-to-be Executive Producer & Head Writer), Steven Moffat has won the BAFTA for Best Writer for BLINK.

Quite right to. He won ahead of Jimmy McGovern (for THE STREET), Tony Marchant (for THE MARK OF CAIN) and Heidi Thomas (for CRANFORD).

Ignore the incestuous Welsh BAFTA Award given to Moffat, this iconic BAFTA is the one to have.

THE MILL lost in the VISUAL EFFECTS category - nominated for VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED - to JELLYFISH PICTURES. DOCTOR WHO music composer, Murray Gold lost to Adrian Johnston for CAPTURING MARY in the Original Television Music category.

On a lazy June afternoon in 1925 the TARDIS materialises at the tiny railway station of Cranleigh Halt. Warmly welcomed by the local gentry, the time-travellers look forward to a well deserved rest from their adventures. After a stunning performance at a friendly cricket match, the Doctor, together with Tegan, Adric and Nyssa, is invited to a splendid masked ball by Lady Cranleigh and her son, Charles. But a dark menace haunts the secret corridors of Cranleigh Hall. And before the ball is over, the quiet summer will be shattered by the shocking discovery of a brutal murder.

Read by Michael Crochrane (Lord Cranleigh in the TV story).
