Fantom Films has released details and cover images of forthcoming CD releases featuring Doctor Who andTorchwood stars.

Volume one of Cult Conversations will have interviews with Gareth David-Lloyd, who plays Ianto Jones inTorchwood, and Deborah Watling, who played companion Victoria Waterfield in Doctor Who. It will be launched at the Memorabilia event, to be held from March 31 to April 1 at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham.

Tales from the Supernatural presents ghost stories penned by M R James and read by Geoffrey Bayldon,Ian Fairbairn and Gareth David-Lloyd. It will be available from April 2.

Saturday's edition of The Sun boasts an exclusive two-page interview with Freema Agyeman.

In it, she tells of failing to land a role as one of Prime Minister Harriet Jones's aides in The Christmas Invasion, and how David Tennant helped soothe her audition nerves when she went for the part of the new companion.

She adds that Billie Piper encouraged her to do things her own way, and says of the difference between her character and Rose: "Billie did a good job, so fair play to her. That character was extremely popular in people's hearts and quite rightly so.

"But the writer, Russell T Davies, has kind of made it easy as the characters are so different. And you can't really compare apples and pears."

The feature finishes by saying that Series Three will start on March 31 at 7pm.

digitalspy.co.uk is reporting that actor and writer Stephen Fry had to back out of plans to write an episode forDoctor Who.

Fry said: "They asked me to do a series and I tried, but I just ran out of time, and so I wrote a pathetic letter of 'I'm sorry I can't do this' to Russell Davies."

Fry is busy working on a film script for director Peter Jackson, working with Kevin Spacey and filming a documentary for BBC Two on HIV and AIDS.

BBC Radio Wales is giving fans the chance to question the cast and crew of Doctor Who.

The show Doctor Who Back In Time is returning on Friday, March 30 with a 30-minute edition previewing Series Three and taking a look at new companion Martha Jones.

Another edition will take a look at the Welsh contribution to the programme and the effect that Doctor Who has had on Wales by helping the local economy and giving Welsh talent opportunities.

The final edition will be where the fans can quiz absolutely anybody involved with the programme.

Those chosen could have their query recorded and get it answered on air.

The official Doctor Who website quotes Julian Carey, the show's presenter and producer, as saying: "A couple of months ago I was giving a talk to my son's primary school about the kind of work I do.

"When they realised I had even the tiniest amount of contact with the world of Doctor Who I got bombarded with loads of questions about the series - most of which I couldn't answer!

"The thing was they asked some fantastic questions - some of which I would never have come up with, so I thought it might be a good idea to let normal, everyday fans of the Doctor have the chance to ask any member of the team the questions that have been bugging them for the last three years."
