If you thrilled last year to the time-travelling exploits of the Doctor and Rose — and millions of us did — the waiting for their return is almost over. BBC3 gets us in the mood
Want to see the Doctor in his pyjamas face up to the Sycorax leader again? Well, on Sunday you can as BBC3 celebrates next week's return of the Time Lord with Doctor Who Night.

NEW SERIES — NEW FACE She's dressed like a nun and looks like a cat (left and above centre) — she's one of the Sisters of Plenitude, who feature in New Earth. The story is set in the distant future on an alien planet, where these feline females re up to no good ...
