It seems that the recent Doctor Who Christmas special (and oh, how I loved it!) has brought the TARDIS and all things Whovian back into the spotlight after a brief break. There's lots of the Doctor in today's roundup, along with some fun Star Wars picks- especially for the readers in the audience!

  • If you haven't yet picked up Timothy Zahn's new novel, Scoundrels (I haven't even bought it yet- don't know what's wrong with me!), you can check out a 50 page excerpt at Suvudu.
  • Set to release in late March, this set of First Class stamps from the Royal Mail depicts all 11 incarnations of Doctor Who, plus a miature stamp sheet featuring several well-known villains along with the TARDIS. (via Doctor Who News)
