The Weekly Info Roundup

by Elisa

Hello! This week I am starting the Whoniversal Information Roundup (why do I feel the need to add “Yee Haw” to that?) with a bit of fun. JM over at Fiction Scribe has been kind enough to give me the Smile Award. Thank You Kindly, JM. I’m glad that I make you smile.

As is the custom in these cases, I may now confer this award upon 5 other bloggers that make me smile. I have selected:

Audrey of Only One Audrey
Emma of Treehouse Jukebox
DaveP of PopBuzzUK
Miss Zoot of Misszoot
and
amypalko of Lives Less Ordinary

Right then. On to the more usual stuff!

It looks like Doctor Who is destined for even more online interactivity. Here I thought that they were doing a pretty good job already, what with the secret websites and Martha’s blog. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.

In just one little article Christopher Eccleston talks about what he has been doing since Doctor Who (apparently he “was very proud to play the Doctor”) and we learn that he is planning to be in a production of MacBeth in the West End soon. Now, if only I could figure out how I could manage to see both David Tennant’s Hamlet and Eccleston’s MacBeth…

Congrats are due to Freema Agyeman. She has been nominated for “Most Popular Actress” in the National Television Awards. Here’s hoping that she wins! (David Tennant is also up for Most Popular Actor and Doctor Who for Most Popular Drama. Again. Let’s hope that they win all three!)

BBCAmerica wants you to vote on the cover of Torchwood series 1. When you vote, you are also entered into a drawing to win your own copy of the DVD set. What are you waiting for? Go make your opinion known!

Don’t forget that the Doctor Who Series 3 soundtrack will be available on 5 November. I wonder if my husband would like this CD for his birthday…

If you would like the see the artwork for the upcoming Destiny of the Daleks DVD, go here and enjoy Lee Binding’s artwork.

Oh, and if you are trying to decide what to get me for Christmas…why not get me a TARDIS?

That’s it for this week. If you encounter any news of the Whoniverse in your travels, please let me know.
