Doctor Who Statue Signature Edition: Gallifrey Edition: Patrick Troughton
Patrick Troughton’s portrayal of the Second Doctor is captured at last in a statue of exacting detail. This is the first in a series of Collector Statues that will bring you beautiful detailing and incredibly accurate likenesses of characters from Doctor Who, the most successful science fiction series ever.

The Reign of Terror, Vengeance on Varos added to DVD release schedule
Two new titles have been announced by 2|Entertain for the Doctor Who DVD schedule.
This afternoon saw the company reveal that First Doctor story The Reign of Terror would be released sometime next year. This will be the first incomplete story to be released on DVD since The Invasion back in 2006, with episodes four and five still missing from the BBC Archive. It is currently unclear whether this story would receive the same CGI animation reconstruction for the missing episodes like the Troughton tale, a telesnap reconstruction like the VHS release of The Tenth Planet back in 2000, or some other form, with the company merely stating via their @ClassicDW Twitter feed that:
.. REIGN OF TERROR! To be released as complete as can realistically be achieved. Likely late 2012.

Dr who quotes Daleks The Five Doctors

Dalek: It is the Doctor! The Doctor must be destroyed!!!
Dalek: Obey! Obey the Daleks! You will be exterminated!!!
Celebrating the Series: The Eleventh Hour
But inevitably, it was the arrival of the Eleventh Doctor that was uppermost in most people's thoughts. What would he be like? Funny? Serious? Strange? Wise? Every previous version of the Time Lord had brought a different spin to the character and it seemed the whole world was waiting to see how Matt Smith would portray Gallifrey's most famous son.
On Saturday 27 March the opening scene of The Eleventh Hour was available online and seven days later the episode aired on BBC One. It received universally strong reviews and subsequently became the most watched programme on BBC iPlayer ever!
Nina told us the new series was 'cool and awesome' singling out the Smilers, Silurians, vampires and Prisoner Zero from The Eleventh Hour as her favourites. 'The new TARDIS is very big and cool,' she added, 'do not change it!'
