Doctor Who - Defending the Earth: The Unit Sourcebook

Cubicle 7 Entertaiment have commissioned a new Doctor Who role play game. Defending the Earth: The UNIT Sourcebook consists of 192 pages, a hardback cover and is written by David F. Chapman.

Front and centre, soldier! You're part of UNIT now, the Unified Intelligence Taskforce. We are the Earth's best defence against the myriad alien forces who would try to subjugate and conquer our planet. Try they might, but they will meet UNIT: a global military force tasked with protecting the planet and researching the alien threat. It's not an easy job, and even those recruited for their scientific knowledge can find themselves on the front lines of combat against an almost unstoppable foe. It's dangerous, violent and not everyone will survive, but for the good of the planet we will do everything in our power to protect humanity from extraterrestrial terrors.

The book is due to be published on 15 April 2010 at the RRP of £25.56 and is avialable to pre-order from Amazon.

Quote Of The Day - Tenth Doctor

"I just want you to know, there are worlds out there, safe in the sky because of her. That there are people living in the light, and singing songs of Donna Noble. A thousand, million light years away. They will never forget her, while she can never remember. But for one moment... one shining moment... she was the most important woman in the whole wide universe."
- Tenth Doctor, Journey's End.

David Tennant Cast In 'Retreat'

David Tennant has been cast in the psychological thriller Movie 'Retreat'. His co-stars include Jason Isaacs and Thandie Newton who play a holidaying couple who have their break ruined by a half-dead man (David Tennant) who tells them that a deadly virus is killing people on the mainland.

Magnet producer Gary Sinyor told Screen Daily of the project: "It reminded me of Dead Calm when I first read it. Only better. It's got a similar sexual tension but the battle of wits between the characters and plot twists are constantly surprising. We're delighted to have secured three of the UK's most powerful actors."

SFX194, on sale 10 March, is going to have a very special cover indeed – a specially commissioned, eye-popping 3D image of Matt Smith as Doctor Who, Karen Gillan as Amy Pond and a couple of Weeping Angels lurking about the place too. The animated gif here gives you an idea what to expect (just click on it to see what we mean), but you really need to see the real thing in all its glory when it hits the shelves in a couple of weeks' time.

The cover was created with the full association of the Doctor Who production team. SFX's art team popped down to Cardiff last month to conduct the exclusive photoshoot, to create an exciting image you'll see nowhere else. The issue also includes a massive nine-page feature on the new series of Doctor Who, including all-new interviews with Matt, Karen and Steve Moffat.

The One Show - Bonhams Doctor Who Auction Feature (23/02/10)

Quote Of The Day - Eighth Doctor

"It was on the planet Skaro that my old enemy, the Master, was finally put on trial. They say he listened calmly as his list of evil crimes was read and sentence passed. Then he made his last, and I thought somewhat curious, request. He demanded that I, the Doctor, a rival Time Lord, should take his remains back to our home planet - Gallifrey. It was a request they should never have granted."
- Eighth Doctor, TV Movie.
