Experience Doctor Who

Daleks and Cybermen from across the ages gather side-by-side in an unprecedented display of evil.

It should have been a sure fire sale, but an original Darth Vader costume from The Empire Strikes Back failed to make its reserve at a Christie's auction today.

Cybermen invaded a London music store for a very special signing event.

Reviewed: Doctor Who Live

Guest blogger Tony McIntyre ventured into the Echo Arena, Liverpool to check out Doctor Who Live...

Unlike the human species who were so clinically and rapidly categorised by the Judoon warriors marching menacingly through the audience, Doctor Who Live defies any attempt at pigeonholing.
Was it a Doctor Who drama or Time Lord symphony? A time travel tableau, a chilling alien-fest, maybe even an early sci-fi panto?
Whatever it was, as soon as those first eerie musical tones accompanied the plumes of smoke that swirled out into the Echo Arena auditorium, only the fact I was sat in the back row prevented me from leaping behind my seat and hiding from the terrors about to unfold, just as I first did 40-odd years ago.

While we're one the subject of Star Wars. You've probably all seen this by now, but just in case you haven't...

Stormtroopers have invaded Formby beach.
But fear not, the Empire is not staging a hostile take over, it was all in the name of fun.

Arise, Sir Patrick Stewart

Patrick Stewart has honoured his former English teacher for setting him on the path to acting, as he was knighted by the Queen.
The star of stage and screen said without Cecil Dormand encouragement to perform, he would never be where he was today.
Sir Patrick, 69, said: "Because he was the one that put a copy of Shakespeare in my hand, he was the one who told me it was a play and not a dramatic poem, he was the one who said 'now get up on your feet and perform, this is a play, it's life'.

The finishing touches are being made to a new exhibition opening in the capital this week.

Britain now has its very own space agency.
The UK Space Agency was officially launched with the help of British astronaut Major Timothy Peake, and will by represented by the Union Flag morphed into a soaring arrow.
But the focus of today's London launch was on the dry realities of economics rather than trekking through the galaxy.
