The winning entry for this year’s Script to Screen competition will premiere on TV next week.

A special Doctor Who mini-episode will be shown during next Thurday’s edition of Blue Peter, which begins at 5.45pm on the CBBC channel.

For those of you unfamiliar with Script to Screen, it is a competition where primary school children aged between 9-11 years old can have their script brought to life.

This year’s mini-episode is Olympic themed and will feature Matt Smith.

With the Daleks set to return in a big way later this year in Series 7, Doctor Who TV wants to know which story featuring the Doctor’s greatest enemy has been the best?

Note: This poll does not include The Pandorica Opens / The Big Bang as their appearance was minor and not the story focus.

We have some intriguing story details for the fourth episode of Doctor Who Series 7.

We can’t be sure how big these spoilers are, so proceed at your own risk.

The Doctor Who Experience has moved to its new home in Cardiff. It has been announced that the popular interactive exhibition will open its doors to the public on 20th July 2012, with tickets going on sale at 10am on the 14th June.

Details follow:

BBC Worldwide today announced the official opening date for their multi-award winning attraction the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff, the home of the BBC One show. Doors will open to the public on the 20th July with tickets going on sale at 10am on the 14th June. Paula Al-Lach, Head of Exhibitions and Events at BBC Worldwide formally accepted the keys to the Experience’s distinctive new home in Cardiff Bay this afternoon and the first exhibits are already being moved in.

Philip Murphy, Managing Director of BBC Worldwide Live Events said: “The Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff is going to be just minutes away from where the BBC Wales television series is made which I’m incredibly excited about. The Experience sets out to engage visitors’ imaginations from the outset immersing them in the world of Doctor Who and what better place to do this than in Cardiff the home of the show.”

The Doctor Who Experience is the first ever interactive Doctor Who exhibition that invites visitors to star in their very own Doctor Who adventure. Arriving at the venue they will step through a crack in time to become the Doctor’s companion, taking on the challenge of reuniting the Doctor with the TARDIS whilst fending off threats from some of his most fearsome foes – entering a Dalek spaceship and finding a way through a maze of Weeping Angels. Featuring a replica of the Eleventh Doctor’s TARDIS which visitors get to fly themselves the interactive walk-through culminates in a stunning 3D finale that sets the scene for fans entering the exhibition.

The exhibition presents fans with the world’s most extensive collection of original Doctor Who costumes and artefacts stretching back almost 50 years to the very first series of Doctor Who.

The content of the exhibition is updated constantly with new items from the television series to ensure it is ever changing offering fans the chance to get up close to the incredible sets, costumes and props that feature in their favourite show. New items to be shown to the public for the first time in Cardiff include the Doctor’s cradle seen in A Good Man Goes to War; the Silence spaceship and Matt Smith’s sonic cane from Let’s Kill Hitler with many more items being kept under wraps until the doors open on 20th July.

UPDATE: The official twitter page has confirmed The Eternity Clock will be released globally for PS3 on the 23rd May via PlayStation Network. The PS3 UK retail version of the game will be released on 25th May.

Original story:

Amazon and other online retailers are now listing upcoming Doctor Who game The Eternity Clock for a late May release.

The PlayStation exclusive was originally due March, but later delayed until April, which it then missed. The new date is currently listed as Friday 25th May.

Amazon are also now taking pre-orders with a slightly lower price of £14.97.

The game will still be digitally released on the PlayStation Store, most likely in the same week as boxed version, which would be place it Wednesday 23rd May in the UK.

As the game has already suffered from multiple delays, it’s probably best not to get your hopes up yet though!
