The BBC has released a new set of pictures from the next episode of Doctor Who - The Caretaker, which debuts next Saturday.
Written by Gareth Roberts and Steven Moffat, and directed by Paul Murphy.

After receiving recent reports that the DVD of The Two Doctors no longer includes A Fix With Sontarans as an extra, we checked with BBC Worldwide over the status of the story's release and they have verified:


At the time of writing, online retailers such as the BBC Shop and Amazon still list the extra; purchasers of the story should verify which version they are buying as retailers may hold either version in stock at present.

BBC Home Entertainment in the United States, has announced a massive collection in honour of the Eleventh Doctor and the man who portrayed him with the release of Doctor Who: The Complete Matt Smith Years Limited Edition Blu-ray Gift Set, which will be released in time for the holidays on November 4, 2014.

It also includes, for the very first time on a special bonus disc, Doctor Who Proms 2013, The Day of the Doctor: From Script to Screen, The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot and Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide. It also includes the two part special The Sarah Jane Adventures: The Death of the Doctor and the docu-drama An Adventure in Space and Time.

The Appreciation Index or AI is a measure of how much the audience enjoyed the programme. The score, out of a hundred, is compiled by a specially selected panel of around 5,000 people who go online and rate and comment on programmes.

Overall Doctor Who rated slightly higher with Women rather than Men and scored the highest within the 16-34 age group.

The X Factor once again topped the ratings for Sunday with 8.7 million viewers, while the return of Downton Abbey had 8.4 million viewers. Doctor Who is currently in 24th place for the week. Final figures will be published next week.

These ratings do not include time shifted viewers.

7.01 million watched the UK transmission of Listen according to consolidated figures available today, which include those recording the programme and watching within one week of transmission.

Miwk Publishing are publishing a complete collection of Tim Quinn/Dicky Howett Doctor Who work in a new book to be published next year.

Where possible, the publishers are attempting to source original artwork to use to ensure the best material is used in the compilation.

Please do not email large scans to that address, just a contact email for now.

Each strip will be restored and come with commentary from Tim and Dicky.
