Look, you and I know that November is now a distant memory and that nothing happened that month (yuk yuk!), but here we are and there is is. Roll ’em:<\/p>\n

Number Eight, Wired
\n<\/strong>Ooh! Ooh! The Eighth Doctor returned for more than one night only! An he regenerated on Karn – too awesome, and to think it had its genesis in the fan genes of the current showrunner. he didn’t have to, but he did. And it’s one of the best things of 2013, really.\u00a0 We know that 2014 is another year and that there’s a brand new fiftysomething Doctor to bed in, but can’t we have Paul back again, maybe for a flashback, pleaaase?<\/p>\n

Here’s One I Made Earlier, etc<\/strong>
\nNot that the fan-fare was restricted to fan circles and sad old gits what wish for the return of Kamelion and the like. Here’s Doctor Who: Pertwee Logo<\/em>‘s writer Matthew Jacobs blogging enthusiastically on Night of the Doctor<\/em><\/a> See? The 50th Anniversary really is now for everyone!<\/p>\n

Tom’s put it in, now<\/strong>
\nAnd you can say what you like about The Five-ish Doctors<\/em> (we did, of course), but big ups to the elder statesman of Who<\/em> for cameoing so wonderfully, so distinctively, and so enigmatically. “Who nose” simply knocks all possible spots off “Good luck, my dears!”. And yet, it’s impossible to divorce either line from the other, isn’t it? And that’s the magic of Tom.<\/p>\n

I Can Hear You Lalla Lalla Lalla!<\/strong>
\nAnd just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, Big Finish go and announce a Doc4\/Romana2 series on audio for 2015 as well. Satan just bought a snowplough!<\/p>\n

Barrowman! Smith!<\/strong>
\nTime Agents and Time Lords get everywhere, apparently, as these official historical photos from der web show quite clearly (hat-tip to Al and Deb for the Captain Jack)<\/p>\n

Here’s Captain Jack – or is it…?<\/a> and Here’s the Eleventh Doctor with a little help from his friends…<\/a><\/p>\n

Bye Bye, Iris<\/strong>
\nAh, but it weren’t all good audio news last month, as Paul Magrs had the sad duty to report the demise of Fig Bin’s Iris Wildthyme series, noted of course for putting Katy Manning in gainful and scandalous employment. It’s a crime that Aunty Iris never got a story with Tom or (for that matter) a full story with Sylv. But never say never, eh?<\/p>\n

And finally…<\/p>\n

I believe that Children are- Oh My Dear God!!!<\/strong>
\nYou’ve heard enough from we barnacle-encrusted ‘classic’ fans to actually sink a ship from this year, so let’s have some words from the series’ future. Its bright-eyed, inquiring, fact-hungry, pants-wetting, weird, somewhat over-eager future…<\/p>\n
