The second trailer aired after this evening's edition of The One Show, and focused on a number of shows that will be broadcast over the course of the summer; captioned Original British Drama, shows covered included The Shadow Line (with Christopher Eccleston), Exile (with John Simm), The Night Watch (with Michael Gambon and Bill Nighy), Luther (with Paul McGann), and of course Doctor Who and Torchwood.

Following on from the first "prequel" for The Impossible Astronaut, the BBC have announced the second of their mini-episode preludes, this time providing an introduction to episode three, The Curse of the Black Spot, due to be broadcast on 7th May.

The full prequel will be available from here and the BBC website on 6:45pm Saturday, straight after the conclusion to Day of the Moon.

The BBC's Doctor Who website have launched a new quiz, entitled The Game of Rassilon.


The quiz features clips, images, exclusive new footage with Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill, plus other members of the cast and crew. It is aimed to test the player's knowledge on Doctor Who, with different questions every time, and themed around the episode on television that week (currently The Impossible Astronaut).

The game can be played here.

To celebrate the return of Doctor Who, last week's Timeout London (21-27 April) published six different covers depicting the characters from The Impossible Astronaut - previewed in that issue - plus interviews with the stars and head writer Steven Moffat.

The magazine is now offering all six covers online worldwide as a collectors set, which can bought via their Timeout Shop.



Previously, the magazine celebrated Doctor Who in December 2009, when it published covers for each the ten Doctors that had played the role to date.

Tomorrow sees several channels dedicated to coverage of the Royal Wedding; however, as an alternative, you could always experience the first few adventures of the Ninth Doctor instead, with digital channel Watch broadcasting Rose, The End of the World, Aliens of London/World War 3, The Long Game and Father's Day from 10:00am!

Alternatively, you can watch The Doctor gate-crash a different wedding in the morning, with the CBBC channel broadcasting the compilation version of The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith between 9:00-10:00am!

The Doctor Who Experience have made a special offer on tickets available in celebration of the Royal Wedding taking place tomorrow - for Friday 29th April only, tickets can be purchased for just £4.29 (plus fees)!


Tickets may booked from the Experience website, and are subject to availability.
