Things that happened last month. Here we go&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHO THE FROCK IS DEAN GAFFNEY AND WHAT IS HE DOING IN <em>DW <\/em>NEWS?<br \/>\n<\/strong>You know, we live in fractious times, and none moreso than on the internet, with its Facebooks and MySpacings. News this week that Eastenders\/reality TV curio Dean Gaffney would be in one of the specials this year was &#8216;revealed&#8217; this week, then revealed to be a fake posting on that hive of scum and villainy, Twitter. Young fans who understand all this and probably care were alternately scandalated and then relieved that it all turned out bunkum. We dunno, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3xqAFeoHy0M\" target=\"_blank\">having seen this<\/a> we reckon he&#8217;d fit the bill perfectly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KASTERBOROUS KEEPS ABREAST OF THINGS<br \/>\n<\/strong>It has to be said, Colin Baker running into sometime cinematic <em>DW<\/em> companion rumour Pamela Anderson is a hell of a story. And good on Kasterborous.com for not opting on an easy eyecatcher and instead going straight\u00a0to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kasterborous.com\/news.asp?id=2212\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0066cc;\">cover reportage of said story<\/span><\/a>\u00a0without making mountains out of molehills. Er, by that we mean overinflating things. Um. Don\u2019t open this at work, okay?<\/p>\n<p><strong>AND SPEAKING OF HARRY HILL&#8230;<br \/>\n<\/strong>That <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YcqSYQqP3oA\" target=\"_blank\">Poetry Corner<\/a>, eh? Superb &#8211; and good to know we&#8217;ve made advances in the science of rhyming dialogue since &#8220;Seek, Locate &#8211; Exterminate!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>BIG FINISH &#8216;FIND&#8217; SEASON 23!<br \/>\n<\/strong>Hooray! Simply years after once Producer Gary Russell said nix to number Six once more meeting (er, spoiler?) the Celestial Toymaker, Sil, the Ice Warriors, the Autons and theRaniortheMasterorperhapsbotheven via audio, aw no, look ! More recent Producer Nick &#8216;Ring Modulator&#8217;\u00a0 Briggs has only gone an dun it! Fantastic news for those who&#8217;ve wanted to hear the stories, instead of shelling out the clams for a pretty patchy trio of Target specials. Naturally fans have gone one better\u00a0and demnded that the &#8216;original&#8217; &#8216;season&#8217; 27 follow this. We&#8217;ll see. In the mean-time with the\u00a0stock involved it wouldn&#8217;t\u00a0be out of the question to call the remounted &#8216;lost season&#8217; a bit of a risky move.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>TSV<\/em> 76 SPEEDS TO COMPLETION &#8216;SOMETIME SOON.&#8217;<br \/>\n<\/strong>Look, we recently swore off jabbing Her Madge&#8217;s Fanzine in the ribs for simultaneously celebrating 75 issues of longevity then gag-tastically slipping off the radar for over twelve months, so we&#8217;ll accentuate the positive and say that delays like this not only have not occurred since 1986, but with each passing month a year&#8217;s sub to <em>TSV<\/em> exponentially increases in value for money!\u00a0Seriously, we can&#8217;t wait for those Season Four reviews (who was the companion again?)<\/p>\n<p><strong>NEW BIGSAVE FURNITURE AD SURFS ZEITGEIST, BREAKS FANBOY HEARTS, SCARES SMALL CHILDREN.<br \/>\n<\/strong>It&#8217;s good (we suppose) that <a href=\"http:\/\/nzdwfc.tetrap.com\/forums\/mb\/1010717.html\" target=\"_blank\">someone else noticed<\/a> this rather\u00a0quaint throwback to 1980s advertising with its blocky &#8216;video&#8217; effects and not-so-soundalike-a version of the <em>DW<\/em> feem toon, along with a handy disapperating blue shipping container (genius!).
