The new edition of Radio Times - issue dated 24-30 March - has joined the countdown to the start of Series Three with a column entitled "All New Who" in its weekly "Behind The Scenes" feature.

It lists what readers can expect to come in the publication, among which will be a guide by Russell T Davies to every episode of the new series, and includes quotes from David Tennant, Freema Agyeman and Phil Collinson.

Tennant says: "Each script that comes in just seems to be bigger than the last - that's what has kept it so exciting. The scale is bigger, the locations are more extraordinary."

Agyeman tells of the pressure of the show, saying: "I've been filming since August and it's crazy. Every time I think I've got it under control, something else comes up - so I'm not taking anything for granted!"

And Collinson talks of the pressure of thinking up new monsters. "This year there's probably a bigger selection - we've gone a bit more monster-y," he says.

The Doctor Who special edition of The Weakest Link is one of the RT Choices for March 30, while the "Next week in RT" strap at the back of the listings magazine carries a picture of Tennant and Agyeman and trumpets the publication's 14-page preview of the new series that will be included.

The Radio Times covering the first episode of Series Three, ie, issue dated 31 March to 6 April, should reveal the titles of episodes three, five and 13 - the last remaining unknown ones.

A small feature in the latest issue of the Doctor Who Adventures reveals that the Zygons will not be appearing in Series Three, quashing the rumours that have been circulating for the past few months. The feature also states that the Zygons are back, but only in the new series book Sting of the Zygon, which features the Tenth Doctor and Martha.

The book will be released in April.

The Manchester Evening News has an interview with Martin Wilkie, son of the late classic era visual effects designer Bernard Wilkie, in his capacity as a special effects adviser and director of the Up Close exhibition, which opens in the city at the end of March.

Martin, whose surname is spelled "Wylkie" in the article, tells how he and his brother (Simon) acted as guinea pigs when their father brought home prototypes and new characters from Doctor Who to see how scary they found them.

He says of the exhibition: "These are all genuine props from the series, so it is as near to behind the scenes as you can get. The kids won't be too scared - we find it is the parents who are generally more scared than the kids."

The online article has a gallery of seven images.

Bernard Wilkie, who co-founded the BBC's special effects department with Jack Kine, died in May 2002. Kine died in January 2005.

"And the design can be as rubbish or amazing as you wish! The best and funniest entries will be displayed on the site - and don't forget to think of a name for your alien or monster."

The competition closes on June 25, 2007.

Also on the website is a link to an interview with Carole Ann Ford, who played the Doctor's granddaughter, Susan Foreman.

In an interview in Sunday's Observer, Russell T Davies suggests he may be planning a few more series of Doctor Who beyond Series Three.

The article states that "Davies will not be writing Doctor Who forever, of course, and that is a major headache for the BBC". It then goes on to quote the writer and producer as saying, "I'm not going to go on and on ... I wouldn't want to do series seven. There are other things I want to do."

This is the second of recent broadsheet interviews with RTD that focuses on what this much-in-demand writer might do next.

The BBC Press Office have released details for the first episode of the upcoming third series, confirming that it will be broadcast during the week beginning 31st March. Although the day and time are yet to be confirmed, we believe the show will be broadcast on Saturday 31st March as announced previously.

The press release says, "David Tennant returns to his role as the Doctor and meets his brand-new companion in the highly anticipated third series of Russell T Davies's Doctor Who."

"For Martha Jones, a medical student in Central London, an ordinary day turns into a nightmare when her entire hospital is transported to the Moon. There, she has to battle the Judoon and outwit a blood-sucking Plasmavore – but can she trust a mysterious stranger called the Doctor?"
