He added on Twitter:

A meeting is being held this Saturday in Vancouver, Canada to gauge the interest in having a convention in the area in late 2015. Who Party West III in 1990 was the last time a Doctor Who convention was held in Vancouver and organisers from that event have come together again to try and kick-start a new convention for fans. More details about the informational meeting can be found at vancouverdoctorwhoconvention.wordpress.com.

German DVD distributer Polyband is going to release Die Zeit des Doktors (Time of the Doctor) on DVD and Blu-Ray on 22nd December 2014. Additionally to the Christmas Special from last year, the disc will include over 100 minutes of special features.

Polyband orginally held back from releasing the Special after its german broadcast on FOX last year. They repeatedly stated on their Facebook page that they were planning to include it on the upcoming Series 8 boxed set. However, due to unforeseen problems with the German dub of Series 8, they had to pull back the release date of the boxed set and change their schedule accordingly.

Doctor Who - Die Zeit des Doktors can be pre-ordered from Amazon Germany on DVD and Blu-Ray.
