He called it! Sorta!
Lawrence Miles' Doctor Who Thing, Nov 3:
"Middle England might just about accept a black Doctor, but they certainly won't accept one they can't pronounce. Hartnell! Troughton! Pertwee! Baker! Davison! Baker! McCoy! McGann! Eccleston! Tennant! Eji… Ejoili… Ej… oh, **** it, let's just hire Matt Smith instead."

Still catching up
Dec 16 Another trailer. A quick one this time.
Dec 17 A game of Warehouseman! But with daleks! I love Warehouseman!
Dec 18 They've updated the Doctor Who Comic Maker for the upcoming special. I can't get at it, as I am not in the UK. Merry Christmas to you, BBC!
Dec 19 An interview with Russell T Davies, Julie Gardner and Phil Collinson. This is what is known as a "get" because these three rarely do interviews.
Dec 20 A link to the new Voyage of the Damned page in the Episode Guide. Somehow I think this is cheating a little.
Dec 21 Another trailer, which would be excellent if there were footage in it that wasn't in the other trailers that we've already seen.
Dec 22 Another video of the recording of the commentary track, this time for The Sound of Drums. They have a bigger room this time. That's nice to see.

Continuing the catch up
Dec 14 - A minute and a half long promo that makes the Christmas special look like a Die Hard movie. A Die Hard movie on a steamship in space, but still.
Dec 15 - A thing that says "Follow the simple instructions to make a Heavenly Host Christmas Tree Ornament. (I'm presuming that the Heavenly Host is the name of those angel dudes) I can't find the link to the instructions. No ornament for me. Boo.

I play catch up
Dec 9 - A jigsaw puzzle - complete the puzzle and you get to see a painting of the ship from the new story and then you can click through that to get a teensy chunk of script.
Dec 10 - A bunch of wallpaper photos for your desktop. Red pufferfish guy is named "Bannakaffalatta." Geoffrey Palmer looks like he could use a good rest.
Dec 11 - The official site has a podcast version of the DVD commentary, so you can tape the show when it's broadcast then play it again with the podcast synced up so you can hear a commentary. Today we get a video of the recording of the commentary track, so you can see what it looks like. It looks like they're wedged in a closet.
Dec 12 - A Tardis video game. I had no idea what I was supposed to do. So I guess I lost.
Dec 13 - Everyone behind the scenes sings "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." Considering that, as I recall correctly, this was filmed in July, they must have needed a bit of prodding to get into the spirit. Adding CGI snow helps a little.

And on the Eighth day
A 10 second trailer for Voyage of the Damned. There was some concern that this would be unviewable ouside of the UK, but I had no problem.Boats in space. We don't see enough of those.
