The show is expected to air in the CBBC strand on BBC One.

Books News

reports that the 10th Doctor’s written adventures (‘The Stone Rose’, by

Jacqueline Rayner, ‘The Feast of the Drowned’, by Stephen Cole and ‘The

Resurrection Casket’, by Justin Richards) will arrive in Canada and the

US in April.

May will see the release of the BBC Quick Read

entry ‘I am a Dalek’ and ‘Aliens and Enemies’ – a follow up to

‘Monsters And Villains’.

Doctor Who stole the limelight in the BBC 2005 Drama Awards winning seven of the eight categories:

Best Drama: Doctor Who (55.86% of the vote)
Best Actor: Christopher Eccleston (59.42%)
(David Tennant came second with 9.15%)
