We apologise for the delay to this service...

As you'll have realised, should you be reading this blog, we've had an extended break from the blog, following the end of Series 4. This was obviously to make sure we made absolutely no headway whatsoever on the back of the plug the Who Cast kindly gave us back in July...

So let's start this creaky machine back up again... And we have things to talk about.

There's a new Christmas special now only 5 weeks or so away (the Children In Need sampler of which got me whimpering with excitement like the man-child I am),

Obviously the news that now not just RTD is going, but David Tennant too, the prospect of a spectacular end for their tenures and the brave new world of the Vast Toffee MN - and the inteminable debate on who should take the role. Expect the Sun to fill pages with these rumours. Its nice to know that a national "News"paper is interested in the show... but maybe not if they're going to suggest Ross Kemp has accepted the role...

The year of the special next year, of course...

There's also the little matter of the Ood Cast writers coincidentally all turning up to the National Theatre on the South Bank here in London to see Russell talk to Benjamin Cook about their new book - hang on, no, not a coincidence, Andrew bought the tickets...

On the subject of that book (The Writer's Tale), Richard and Judy have picked it as part of their Christmas book campaign... and it'll be reviewed on their shiny new show on Watch by none other than Uncle Stephen Fry - I think on 26th Nov.

So, people, we are returning. Plans are afoot to do something new with the blog, but as the break has not been because we've each bought an island in the carribean and spent 5 months developing an EasyJet glow, there simply hasn't been time to return with a bang and a glitter.

Better to just return sometimes, I think! So here we are. The bang and the glitter will come limping in eventually. We wouldn't want you to be over-whelmed, would we?

See, dear reader... always thinking of you...

If there is anything you want to see on the site, anything you want us to look at or discuss, please use the comments on here to do it - always very happy to hear from people - and desperately glad for some ideas we didn't have to sweat over!
