We lost Koquillion, people! And Garron.\u00a0 We&#8217;ll not see the likes of these Jethryk-swiping, alien-drag\u00a0antagonists in these days of L&#8217;NDA and Allons-y, and that is a Sad Thing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Happy&#8217; me someone, please&#8230; ooh! This is more like it:<\/p>\n<p><strong>SIXTH DOCTOR DEBUT OFFICIALLY BEST STORY &#8211; <em>DWM<\/em> POLL<br \/>\n<\/strong>Well at least <em>something<\/em> grand happened, and it&#8217;s this &#8211; <em>The Caves of Androzani<\/em>, the story that introduced a feverish and panting fan community to Colin Baker&#8217;s Sixth Doctor has this month been adjudged Best Story Evar(tm) in the pages of <em>Doctor Who Monthly<\/em>. With rumours of a revisit by the Restoration Team to make an even more super version we can all be very happy that\u00a0this highly significant and deservedly-celebrated story is prepped for a new generation of fans. Especially as&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>THE TWIN DILEMMA<\/em> BECOMES LAST SIXTH\u00a0DOCTOR STORY TO MAKE IT TO DVD<\/strong><br \/>\nBlimey. Who saw<em> that<\/em> coming?<\/p>\n<p><strong>NORTHERN BIRD GOES WEST<\/strong><br \/>\nAwww and we were just getting to know her again! Sad news from Briggs Finish Productions in the shapely form of Sheridan Smith, aka Lancashire&#8217;s Lucie Miller, audio companion of the Eighth Doctor since 2007 (what do you mean you didn&#8217;t follow them? For shame!!) departing the TARDIS in the forthcoming story <em>Death in Blackpool <\/em>(eek!). In our humble opinion simply The Best Thing to have happened to the Eighth Doctor since he went all audio, Lucie was brazen, shouty, a little bit fick and best of all wasn&#8217;t remotely interested in the Doctor romantically. Did we mention she was a temp? Indeed, we&#8217;ve not seen the likes of\u00a0that sort of character\u00a0in the new TV series at all, no sir. And now she&#8217;s leaving us. Boo.<\/p>\n<p>On the bright side,\u00a0Sheridan\u00a0is rumoured to be in the next series of Who On The Telly, so that&#8217;s good. But not as Lucie. Bah!<\/p>\n<p><strong>CREDITS WHERE THEY&#8217;RE DUE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s true, every word of it&#8217;s true &#8211; very little happened over September, mere weeks from <em>The Waters of Mars<\/em> breaking over us. Rumours abound, if you&#8217;re into that sort of thing, and hopefully it won&#8217;t spoil anyone&#8217;s day to hear that one rumour involves a new title sequence\/logo, potentially spelling the end of that logo some cruelly dubbed &#8216;the flying turd&#8217;. We all have a dream title sequence in our heads of course (some actually feature our heads &#8211; go on, admit it &#8211; you know who you are). How about something styled after the classics?
