More details for the first four episodes. Avoid if you dont want to know anything, but nothing we dont know already, apart from maybe the "in a nutshell" section.

On the Newsround news, maybe they'll show the prologue?

As it's the kiddies news, it may be just "Doctor Who is back on Saturday!!!!!!!"

Jenna Coleman to star as Queen Victoria in major new ITV drama Victoria

http://blogtorwho.blogspot.co.uk/201...-victoria.html

ITV has today announced that Jenna Coleman will star as a young Queen Victoria in their major new drama series Victoria.

The ambitious 8-part drama follows the early life of Queen Victoria, from her ascension to the throne at the tender age of 18, through to her courtship and marriage to Price Albert. Victoria went on to rule for 63 years, and was our longest serving monarch until she was overtaken by Elizabeth II on 9th September this year.

Jenna Coleman said: “I am delighted to be cast as Queen Victoria in this ambitious drama of her life. She is a vivid, strong, inspirational and utterly fascinating woman in British history and I can't wait to tell her story.”

Victoria will be made by Mammoth Screen, producers of Poldark (BBC One) and Endeavour (ITV), and the series is created and written by acclaimed novelist Daisy Goodwin, in her screenwriting debut.

Daisy will serve as executive producer alongside Dan McCulloch (Endeavour, Indian Summers) and Mammoth Screen’s Managing Director Damien Timmer (Parade’s End, Poldark).

The series will open with a 90-minute episode, followed by 7 one-hour episodes. Tom Vaughan (Doctor Foster, He Knew He Was Right, Starter For Ten) opens the series as director and Paul Frift (Doctor Who, That Day We Sang, Room at the Top) will produce the landmark series.

Official - Jenna Coleman is Leaving Doctor Who

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho...9-2fad42c46da3

It’s been officially confirmed that Jenna Coleman, who plays Clara Oswald, will leave Doctor Who during the new series which starts tomorrow, Saturday 19 September.

However, it’s not been revealed exactly when Clara leaves and the question many are already asking is how will she part company with the Doctor?

Jenna Coleman made her Doctor Who debut on 1 September, 2012 as Oswin Oswald in Asylum of the Daleks. She returned on Christmas Day of that year, playing Clara and remained with the Eleventh Doctor from the following episode, The Bells of Saint John, onwards. She stayed on board the TARDIS for all of Peter Capaldi’s episodes to date and after filming for the last series finished, Peter commented, ‘Jenna has been absolutely brilliant. I think she’s wonderful in the show, and she’s my favourite companion.’

But Series 9 sees the Impossible Girl’s departure although the how, why and when are all questions we’ll have to watch the new adventures to find out…

Whatever happens, we’ll bring you the inside info first but for the time being we’ll prepare to say goodbye to Clara and good luck to Jenna. We’ll miss them both.

How to Watch "The Doctor's Meditation" in the UK

http://who-natic.blogspot.co.uk/2015...medium=twitter

"The Doctor's Meditation" - the now infamous BBC Worldwide funded prequel - is now available to watch legally in the UK and, surprisingly, it won't cost you a penny (unless you go the itunes route).

So far, there are 3 free ways to watch the prequel:

1. Amazon UK - you just need to have an Amazon account: The Doctor's Meditation on Amazon UK - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/.../ref=dv_dp_ep0

2. BBC via Google Play on Youtube - you need a Google Play account (easy to register but you do need to provide payment details such as paypal .. and you'll be invoiced for £0.00. Crazy!): The Doctor's Meditation on Youtube/Google Play - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALRS...ature=youtu.be

3. Itunes - but this will cost you £2.49 (but at least you don't have to purchase a series pass!): The Doctor's Meditation on itunes - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/tv-seaso...ign-mpt=uo%3D4

I'm hoping that the BBC will put the prequel on iplayer tomorrow - and for the US, it will air on BBC America this evening. Please let us know if there are any other sites that have the prequel available to watch in the UK - legally, that is!

Ditto! I thoroughly enjoyed it and it has definitely raised my excitement levels to 12 for the return of Doctor Who tomorrow! Its been a long time since Last Christmas and I may have had a massive Who-a-thon in-between...but I am always hungry for more!
