The Celestial Archive is now active, and you can visit it by selecting from the menu bar above. (You may need to refresh your page in order to see the button)

The Celestial Archive launches in just... hours. I am very pleased with how it is currently looking. Initially there will be just one category - 'Voices From the Past' but with new ones added on a regular basis. Initially the content of the archive will be open to everyone who visits our website. We have a large amount of Doctor Who related material that deserves a wider audience.

There is now a preview of the next edition of Celestial Toyroom (issue 394) available. The magazine features a full colour cover. To see, just click the 'Celestial Toyroom' tab and choose 'Next Issue', or click here: http://www.dwasonline.co.uk/celestial_toyroom

If you visit the link below you can see an interview at the BBC News website with david Tennant and Catherine Tate. They talk about their forthcoming reunion in London'd West End.

Just seven hours to go until 2011 arrives in the UK. Yawwwn... I guess I'll stay up and then try and send text messages to people I see every day to say 'Happy New Year'. Bah. Humbug. Which brings me to.. 'A Christmas Carol' - Doctor Who's 2010 special.

The items shown on the flyer enclosed with CT issue 392/3, including signed copies of Frank Collins new book 'The Pandorica Opens' are available to buy online via the 'Merchandise' tab above

CT issue 392/3 has been sent to every member and was posted in time for pre-Christmas delivery in the UK.

The next issue of CT is our traditional Christmas/New Year double issue. This year we have not gone for a colour cover - we are saving that for the new year, but the magazine has a multi Doctor theme, and some Christmassy related features, including a preview of this year's 'Doctor Who Christmas Special - A Christmas Carol', written by the ever reliable Steven Moffat.

The online store 'Soundtracks Direct' at the time of posting has the the new series 5 music CD available for £8-99 including Uk delivery, which is the cheapest I have seen it so far. You can visit their eBay store at http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Soundtracks-Direct

If anyone has seen a better price please let me know and I'll post it up.

Tonight's Children in Need featured a preview of the forthcoming Christmas special. The trailer is currently available to view online, but oddly, only at the BBC America website, though it will appear on the UK site soon. The link to see it online at BBC America is: http://www.bbcamerica.com/content/23/anglophenia.jsp?bc_id=2095
