Greetings Everyone, it's been a bit of time since I've had the opportunity to update the homepage of DoctorWho.com, and I figured that the first of February was as good a day as any. A lot has happened with Doctor Who. 2009 was a monumental year involving the passing of the torch from arguably the best actor to play the role of the Doctor since Tom Baker (I know there will be lots of opinions about this statement - go on over to the forums to discuss!). David Tennant was loved by many for his incredibly rich and detailed portrayal of everyone's favourite timelord. He brought an incredible depth to the show and was pivotal in bringing the Doctor Who series back to its full grandeur. This is not to say that Christopher Eccleston didn't do his part as well - however Tennant was clearly a driving force. The energy behind his performances made for engaging and exciting episodes that drew audience members into the story in a unique way that could make you feel that you were almost part of the programme. I know I will miss him.

Coming in February, both Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com (as well as other retailers) will be releasing what one would expect to be the final set of David Tennant DVDs. The set will include The Next Doctor, Planet of the Dead, The Waters of Mars and The End of Time (parts 1 and 2) all of which are available individually or as a collection. Additionally, in the UK on Amazon.co.uk, the Kameilion Collection (Classic Series / Peter Davison era) is available for pre-order and in the US on Amazon.com two new DVDs of classic series Jon Pertwee adventures are now available for pre-order (The Monster of Peladon and The Curse of Peladon) and one Tom Baker episode (The Masque of Mandragora).

Now that the Doctor has officially gone through a face-lift, I think it's only suiting that DoctorWho.com do the same as well. We have a few new features in the works at this very moment that we're planning on rolling out over the next couple of months. In the meantime, I'd love to encourage everyone to keep using the forums and contributing to the wiki. I'm also looking for content contributors and news sources! If there's anyone out there who feels as strongly about the Doctor Who series as I do (and I know there are lots of people out there) I'd like to encourage them to register on the site and join the contributors group in the forums area or to contact me directly at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . (Please note that since I'm making this email public, there will be some pretty strong spam filtration going on, and if you don't get a response it may be simply because I didn't see the email. If this happens, try using the contact feature on the site) One of my main objectives has always been to turn this site into a primary source for Doctor Who information - and I know that it can be done if people pitch in. Please feel free to contact me directly with ideas and especially newsworthy information. Right now, I'm looking for people to help out with the episode guide by continuing write-ups of episodes. Finally, I'm looking to put together an "executive" team that can help out with the homepage of the site and enrich the main landing area with news columns and different areas not unlike an actual newspaper.

Please keep visiting often and send me your feedback. I'm looking forward to the first regeneration of DoctorWho.com and all the great things that we can do with this site for the global Doctor Who community.

Cheers,
Chris Kaminski
