Daleks Explain How Television Works Through A Ladybird Book

This is a scan of a classic 'Ladybird' book named How Television Works (or used to work anyway) and here we have the Daleks. Simple as that.

Fan Paints Dalek In England Colours

Now a member of the excellent Dalek-building forums Project Dalek, I discovered this curiousity.

Fan Chris Balcombe has painted his 70s-Style Dalek replica in red and white, complete with England flags and vuvuzela (instead of a plunger, see?). The full story can be seen, complete with picture, on The Sun's website here.

NOTE TO OWNERS OF FAN SITES: The Sun prevents right-clicking of images on their website, so we can't use their picture on our posts -  I got the image I used from here. If you know of a way to solve this problem, other than emailing the editor, please leave a comment. Thanks!

“Station 7 is where the Earth Forces send all the equipment captured in their unceasing war against the Daleks. It’s where Dalek technology is analysed and examined. It’s where the Doctor and Amy have just arrived. But somehow the Daleks have found out about Station 7 – and there’s something there that they want back."

BBC Books has unveiled the first few pages of The Only Good Dalek is the first ever original Doctor Who graphic novel from the Beeb itself. Out on 16 September, priced £16.99, it features the Eleventh Doctor and Amy in an adventure with the Daleks, written by Justin Richards with art by Mike Collins (who’s worked on Babylon 5 and Star Trek comics as well as strips in Doctor Who Magazine).

 The only good Dalek is a dead Dalek.

Doctor Who Live: The Tour

Above is the brand new Doctor Who Live show! I have mentioned this a few times before, but it's only a matter of time until the tickets run out...

[As I'm pre-posting this, if they do run out before the time this is set to publish, forgive me will you?]

Developed in association with Doctor Who’s Executive Producer and show runner, Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Live promises the same excitement, adventure and suspense that viewers have come to expect from the TV programme and will feature specially filmed new video scenes.



Opening in wartime London and concluding in an epic onstage battle, audiences should expect the unexpected as the The Doctor’s arch-enemies the Daleks are joined by some of the best-loved and most terrifying monsters from the TV series including the Cybermen, Weeping Angels, Judoon and Oods [sic] to name but a few.



With an out-of-this-world set, Doctor Who Live will feature special FX, optical illusions and spectacular pyrotechnics building to an epic finale. Specially edited video clips, drawn from the TV Programme will be shown on a massive screen and accompanied by the music of longtime Doctor Who composer Murray Gold. These iconic scores will be brought to life by a 16 piece orchestra live on stage.


So, book your tickets now before time runs out!

Doctor Who The Big Bang Explosion of Excitement

Well, that was a great finale, wasn't it? Well, I wouldn't know, as I don't have internet access where I am, and I'm pre-posting this on the 19th, but I think we can safely say that it was better than The End of Time.

Doctor Who 5.12: The Pandorica Opens

Hooray, it's that time again!

The Doctor finds Stonehenge, underneath which is the Pandorica. Stonehenge, it turns out, is a huge computer, made to open the Pandorica on the date 26/06/2010...

There is something lethal (possibly a Gallifreyan fairytale, Blind Fury) inside the Pandorica, but there's not time to worry about that now - not when hundreds of Cyber-Ships, Dalek Ships, Nestene Ships etc. are closing in around the earth. Is this the day the Doctor falls?

And then, the cracks begin to show...
