A current rumours suggests that the Doctor Who animation line has found new funding and will continue later this year with some missing First and Second Doctor classics. The Mirror reports that the penultimate William Hartnell story, The Smugglers, and the missing episodes of the Patrick Troughton tale, The Underwater Menace, will be animated for release on DVD and Blu-ray. Yes, as ever with…

It’s a good moth for fans of Target books, with four newly published adaptations of Doctor Who stories hitting the shops. Writer James Moran has novelised The Fires of Pompeii, his Season 4 script which saw the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble caught up in the apocalyptic events of the Vesuvius eruption of AD 79. Interviewed by Radio Times, he says one of the bonuses of writing the book was being…

I will say this for Chris Chibnall — I think he thought he at least gave Graham and Ryan a good send off in Revolution of the Daleks. I think his intentions were good and they were not unceremoniously dumped when leaving the show. That is to his credit.  This is undoubtedly in large part because he created the characters in the first place. If a producer creates the companions, he or she…

An updated animation of The Power of the Daleks has been announced, due out on DVD and Blu-ray in July, but some of you will have spotted a curious special feature: The Highlanders, listed as “additional bonus material”.

The covers for the DVD, Blu-ray, and steelbook releases for the upcoming animation of the missing Doctor Who serial, The Faceless Ones, have been revealed… and they’re pretty gorgeous.

This Second Doctor adventure is mostly missing from the BBC archives, though we do at…

There’s a line said by Polly Wright (Anneke Wills) in The Faceless Ones, her and Ben Jackson’s (Michael Craze) last serial, which particularly sticks in the mind: “You don’t think my friends will forget me like that, do you?”

It’s a fair concern: the last companion to leave, Dodo (Jackie Lane), was kicked off stage quite unceremoniously in The War Machines (1966), Polly and Ben’s introductory…

The Second Doctor classic, The Faceless Ones will be getting an animated release on DVD, Blu-ray, and steelbook, available in 2020.

The six-part serial is the last to feature Anneke Wills and Michael Craze as companions, Polly Wright and Ben Jackson respectively.

Here’s the synopsis:

The Faceless Ones is the mostly missing eighth serial of the fourth season in Doctor Who, which was first…

Here’s a nice little treat from Lovarzi to celebrate the release of The Power of the Daleks on DVD: an infographic all about the six-part serial, including a competition to win an exclusive Grey Dalek Scarf. Lovarzi – friends of the DWC – has been making officially-licensed Doctor Who products since 2012, their first being the best-selling Fourth Doctor Scarf. Since then, they’ve made items like…
