The Doctor Who Appreciation Society is pleased to announce that agreement has been reached for a blue heritage plaque honouring William Hartnell to be placed at Ealing Studios in West London. William Hartnell was a respected film and television actor and often worked at Ealing

We are investigating the delay with CT issue 483 which was collected from us over a week ago. Our mail provider UK Mail is currently trying to identify what happened to it after arrival in their main sorting centre. Hopefully it will be with everyone soon.

The recent death of actor Leslie Grantham was a surprise to many people. He was best known to the British public as Den Watts in EastEnders, but to DW fans he was also Kiston, Davros's henchman in Resurrection of the Daleks. Later, he became known to genre SF fans again when his production company, Zenith, produced 'The Uninvited' for ITV.

Thank you to everyone who took part in our recent eBay auction, even if you bid but did not win. :-)
