Welcome to Special Edition #4.
I am going over a majority of the news that hit the Doctor Who world this week.
First and foremost, the announcement of a Doctor Who Spin-off series - Torchwood.
Now we know why Captain Jack is not able to rejoin the T.A.R.D.I.S. crew in Series Two. That's because he is running an investigation bureau in Cardiff. Read the official BBC Press Release here, Outpost Gallifrey's stories here and here, and the Official Doctor Who website story here.
There is a lot more news that I cover, including what Christopher Eccleston has too say about him quitting because he was "exhausted" - read here.
Also vote for Doctor Who as Best Drama, Christopher Eccleston as Best Actor and Billie Piper as Best Actress in the 2005 National Television Awards. Vote Daily...Vote Often!!
A number of listeners' podcasts and website have been forwarded to me and I am now putting them in them in a special link section on the left. The links have been separated into Doctor Who Links and Listener's/Contributor's Links.
Michael Hickerson and Sarah Hadley's Commentaries are now on a formal webpage where you can listen to them at your leisure. Two Insane Fans - The "Waldorf and Statler" of Fan Commentary
Sean Huxter's incredible Photostory, "Doctor Who - The Second Key" is a site everyone who listens to this Whocast is required to visit. It is too good to be passed over...Go there NOW!!!
Another website, "Doctor Who's Tragical History" was passed on to me by a listener. Please take a look.
Other than the items above, it's been a pretty boring week.
See ya in the videocast later this week!
Enjoy!

Then there's the rumoured Children's K9 series...
When did this "Children's K-9" come about?
It has been mentioned a couple of times on the OG forums, but was first rumoured in the early 90s, I think.
Bob Baker and Dave Martin have been touting the idea of a new K9 series round for a while, certainly since the 90s. If you get to see the Reeltime "K9 Unleashed" release, there's a sequence of footage from the proposal (with voiceover by Tom Baker, ironically)
I just saw it on the Reeltime site - I will probably need to get that and watch it!
