Kelvington has Doctor Who - Cheers Theme - Parody. "Sometimes you get a crazy idea in your head and it just hangs in there until you ask your friends to help you finish it. Such was the case here, I had this silly concept in my head for a song parody and they helped me get it done!"

Doctor Who: Wheel of Ice
The Wheel. A ring of ice and steel turning around a moon of Saturn, and home to a mining colony supplying a resource-hungry Earth. It's a bad place to grow up.
The colony has been plagued by problems. Maybe it's just gremlins, just bad luck. But the equipment failures and thefts of resources have been increasing, and there have been stories among the children of mysterious creatures glimpsed aboard the Wheel. Many of the younger workers refuse to go down the warren-like mines anymore. And then sixteen-year-old Phee Laws, surfing Saturn's rings, saves an enigmatic blue box from destruction.
Aboard the Wheel, the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe find a critical situation - and they are suspected by some as the source of the sabotage. They soon find themselves caught in a mystery that goes right back to the creation of the solar system. A mystery that could kill them all.
Pre Order from The TARDIS Shop.
Review's Roundup...
Fish Fingers and Custard has The Matt Smith Review: Part 3 - Victory of The Daleks. The Daleks eh? I’ve never been as fascinated with them as other people seem to be. You’ll always hear “Well, Doctor Who isn’t Doctor Who without The Daleks”, but that’s not really true, is it? Despite being The Doctor for 7 years, Tom Baker only had two stories with them and his era was arguably the best ever....
tor.com has The Doctor Remembers Klingons: IDW’s Assimilation2 Number 2. IDW’s gutsy Doctor Who/Star Trek: The Next Generation comic book crossover Assimilation2 has released its second issue in an eight-part mini-series. How is the Doctor getting along with the crew of the Enterprise-D? So far, so good, but with the Cybermen and the Borg teaming up, both the crews of the TARDIS and the Enterprise’s days are about to get a lot tougher. Check out what happened in issue#2 of this ongoing series, and what I think of it so far....

The Doctor and Peri are enjoying a relaxing holiday at Ostend, on the Belgian coast in 1913, however the peace doesn’t last for long.

His real quarry is a retired performer, hiding away in a secret hotel room, who he seeks to capture at any cost...
TARDIS Eruditorum has That's It, I've Been Renewed (Paradise Towers), the supposed 8th worst Doctor Who story of all time. It is, by the way, absolutely brilliant. i say this to make clear, this is not one of my redemptive readings, that phrase implying as it does that there is something about the story requiring redemption. The only thing about this story to maybe require a spot of redemption is the acting, and we'll get there. But since everybody, when talking about this story, wants to go on about Richard Briers, let's leave the acting for as long as possible and talk about everything else first....
The Daily P.O.P. has Doctor Who and The Emerald Tiger. In the jungles of Calcutta, a strange curse has been passed down, the curse of the Emerald Tiger. Much like the mark of the werewolf it turns the victim into an animal, but unlike that myth, the tiger eventually solidifies into a mass of jade. Nyssa has fallen under the curse and in order to save her, the Doctor must unravel this mystery and brave the land of impossible jeweled creatures, and a gun-happy English rogue....
Chair With A Panda On It has Doctor Who: The Hounds of Artemis. The Doctor and Amy have come to Smyrna in 1929 to investigate a mystery.
