Seriously LARGE Update - no kidding!

This update is very large indeed, probably one of the largest we have made to the site and includes items from the 1960s right up to some of the latest coverage of the new Doctor Who series from the end of 2004.

There are over 80 new articles and items from newspapers, magazines, the Radio Times, various other listings magazines, adverts and miscellaneous printed material.

Amongst the most fascinating in our opinion are a number of newspaper articles from the 1970s which include a local press article on the filming of the Time Warrior in 1973 as well as some interesting comment on Tom Baker's first season. It'll be interesting to compare this to coverage of Eccleston's debut in March.

Full details and links to all new cuttings are below - our next update will bring us bang up to date with a roundup from the press over the last couple of months and we will be readying the site for the start of the new series with a number of new pages and features.
