The second Doctor Who Adventure Game has been officially announced as Blood of the Cybermen (previously rumoured as Winter of Terror). It will be released free on PC this Saturday in the UK immediately following The Big Bang. Press release and screen shots below.

An abandoned Arctic research centre… an ancient relic… an off-screen terror -- the classic ingredients of a Doctor Who episode. Only this time you are the Doctor.

Episode two of the Doctor Who: The Adventure Games has today been unveiled by the BBC -- and the good news is fans won’t have to wait long to get their hands on it.

“Blood of the Cybermen is classic ‘Who,” says Phil Ford, Writer, Blood of the Cybermen, Doctor Who Waters of Mars and The Sarah Jane Adventures. “From the intriguing title, through the pre-credits intro to the mystery surrounding the Arctic base, this is everything you expect from a TV episode -- only this time you control the action. It’s an epic story, and one we could only tell in a computer game. We’ve ambitious sets, a thrill-a-minute narrative, and we re-introduce a Doctor Who adversary not seen since the Tom Baker era.”

Update: Trailer added

Spoiler Warning!

We’d usually have posted a trailer for the next episode by now, but as you may have noticed, there wasn’t one for The Big Bang. The official Doctor Who site currently has the same “Time is running out” trailer used last week for The Pandorica Opens, but we’d be surprised if there wasn’t an official one coming sometime over the next seven days. The BBC have confirmed there will be a preview clip coming on Tuesday, at least.

In the meantime, what do we know about episode 13? First up, here’s the official BBC synopsis again for those that may have missed it.

The Doctor is gone, the Tardis has been destroyed, and the universe is collapsing. The only hope for all reality is a little girl who still believes in stars.

Pretty vague, but combine this with the leaked pictures from last week and we have more to go on. In the pic above, River is alive and kicking, somehow surviving the TARDIS explosion.

In the first pic below, we see young Amelia Pond in what looks like a museum containing the sealed Pandorica. That is obviously the little girl mentioned in the synopsis.

The Doctor is back, perhaps freed from the Pandorica by Amelia. Then we see a stone-like Dalek also in the museum next to something Egyptian on the left (Cleopatra?). The Doctor confronts the Dalek and it doesn’t look in good health.

That’s it for now, stay tuned for more over the next week!

The Big Bang airs next Saturday 26th June at 6.05pm. Fortunately, the episode has a extended running time of 55 minutes. It’s going to be a long wait!

Update: New pics added

A couple of new pics from The Pandorica Opens have been released. We’ve also included screen caps from the trailer.

Here’s some new pics from The Lodger, including screen caps from ‘Next Time’ trailer. Warning: contains a pic of the 11th Doctor in just a towel!

Last week, we told you about the finale featuring lots and lots of returning monsters. Two of the finale pics we described have now leaked as they have appearing publicly at this year’s Collectormania festival.

These contain massive spoilers, so click the spoiler tag to view.

Spoiler: show

Update: New images added

We’ve got 47 Vincent and the Doctor images for your viewing pleasure, including screen caps from ‘Next Time’ trailer. Any guesses what the Doctor is wearing in the third pic? Is he pretending to be a Ghostbuster again?

Here’s the first two official images from the penultimate episode of Series 5, The Pandorica Opens.

And some exciting new info from the latest Doctor Who Magazine (out now).

A Van Gogh painting is ferried across thousands of years, communicating a disturbing prophecy to the Doctor. In 102AD England, Romans receive a surprise visit from Cleopatra. Nearby, Stonehenge conceals the Pandorica, a prison-box of legend. As it slowly unlocks, terrible forces gather in the heavens above. What bearing do growing cracks in time and Amelia Pond’s bedroom, have on all of this? There is just one certainty: silence will fall…

Note: there are lots more images to come, but they are currently embargoed for release in June.

Update: Added nine new episode stills.

Enjoy 33 screen caps from the Cold Blood ‘Next Time’ trailer. There’s more Silurians than you can shake a stick at!

Here’s almost 60 pics from The Hungry Earth, this includes screen caps from both trailers.  A couple of interesting observations – the new Silurians can flick their tongues out like real lizards and their masks have a very similar Predator-like thermal vision.

Or is it just me? Check out a bunch of new pics from Amy’s Choice. Also included are over 40 screen caps from the ‘next time’ trailer.
