Doctor Who fans are full of questions. Plus water. Water and questions. And varying degrees of bile. Only one of these is important for the article you have clicked on, which is probably this one for now, and it’s the questions one.
It would take too long to examine all the queries fandom has (they vary from ‘How come Germany gets the extended cut of Silver Nemesis?’ to ‘Who wants to watch Babylon 5 with me lads?’), and so we have stuck to questions that the Capaldi era raised but failed to answer. This writer, it should be noted, is fallible and may not list all the questions that our readers may have. Ameliorate...

Starting today on Cbbc, James reports back from the second series launch of Russell T Davies and Phil Ford's Wizards Vs Aliens...
Despite its undoubted behind-the-scenes pedigree, it would be fair to suggest that Russell T Davies and Phil Ford’s Wizards vs Aliens struggled to find its feet during its maiden series on Cbbc last year.
Weighed down by a far heavier expositional burden than the team’s previous effort, The Sarah Jane Adventures, ever had to contend with, it wasn’t until the final weeks of its first run that WvA truly seemed to find its feet and deliver satisfying and compelling stories in its own right.
However, despite the show finally managing to deliver on its obvious potential the question remained: would WvA’s second season be able to maintain that progress? While it’s too early to deliver a definitive answer,...

The BBC had a gap in their schedule following the end of The Sarah Jane Adventures due to the untimely death of Elisabeth Sladen. However, the popular Doctor Who spin-off is to be replaced by a show from many of the same writers, Wizards vs Aliens, a show which reportedly does exactly what it says on the tin.
Writer and co-creator Phil Ford (The Sarah Jane Adventures, Doctor Who, Torchwood, the new Captain Scarlet) has just tweeted:
“Principal photography on Wizards vs Aliens has just begun!! Hooray! Best of luck to everyone involved!”
Only a few days before, he tweeted:
“Just done the first full cast read-through for Wizards vs Aliens. So excited. Very happy!”
Ford's enthusiasm is infectious, though no doubt completely warranted based on the high-concept title alone.
As his co-creator Russell T. Davies says, "it was called Aliens vs Wizards until a lawyer stepped in, but there we go.

Actor Bill Nighy, star of films such as Love, Actually and the TV drama serial State of Play, is to appear as a guest star in the forthcoming 2010 series of Doctor Who, according to the Digital Spy website. The website quotes a "set insider" as confirming the casting, apparently in the episode written by Nighy's frequent collaborator Richard Curtis. The nature of Nighy's role, according to Digital Spy, can be found in the spoiler box below.
Nighy's name has long been associated with rumours concerning the revived version of Doctor Who, frequently attached to speculation that he might be cast as the Doctor.
