| "Doctor Who and the Autism Spectrum" book project |
Some news on a fascinating and important project from reader Michaela:
Autism spectrum Doctor Who fans and friends, I need your help! I am a Doctor Who fan and an Aspie working on a book project about Doctor Who and the autism spectrum, and the most important thing I can imagine is for this book to incorporate as many viewpoints as possible. I am looking for anyone - anyone at all - to answer a few questions about their own experiences with Doctor Who. You don't have to have seen a lot of it, you don't have to be familiar with the classic series, you don't have to have a particular spectrum condition (or any diagnosis at all). Any input at all is welcomed and greatly appreciated. The questionnaire can be viewed online HERE and can be emailed to: dw-autism@hotmail.com If you would prefer to submit your answers some other way, or have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me or contact me at one of the various options available on the main page ( Twitter, Tumblr and so on)! Anything that helps more responses come in is a good thing. Thank you so much.

| Shada novelisation due 2012 |
BBC Books have announced the publication of a novelisation of the "lost" Doctor Who story Shada. Production of the planned finale to the 1979-1980 season was halted part-way through due to industrial action at the BBC, and the story was never completed. Now, drawing on drafts of the script and production notes as well as original designs and the material that was completed, prolific Doctor Who TV script writer Gareth Roberts tells this unique story, featuring Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor, in full for the first time.
Shada will be published
March 2012 as a £16.99 hardbackThanks to Ebury Publishing
