My 12 year old son and his friend spent much of last weekend mixing and matching all his lego minifigs to make his own Dr Who Lego.

Given that there was nothing manufactured specifically for what they were trying to make, I think they did a great job.

I’ve never been that interested in branded Lego, but if they ever did a merchandising deal with the Beeb over this, they would have a large amount of my money. And plenty of my childrens’ too.

Please excuse the poor photography. I rushed a bit, perhaps I can upload some new versions later.

Slightly old news, but worth repeating. After next year’s collection of telemovies, David Tennant is leaving Doctor Who. David has been a great Doctor and I will be sad to see him go, but he has had a reasonable run (I’m looking at you Christopher Eccleston) and I look forward to seeing what the new Doctor (and new boss Steven Moffat) are going to do with the show.

Ooo, stop press: Moffat is reported to want James Nesbitt as the new Doctor. Watch this space!

Yes, rumours is all they are, but they are such great rumours I thought it would be worth repeating them here.

1. Robert Llewellyn is [reported to have said][1] that the BBC is planning a new 1 hour [Red Dwarf][3] episode to be filmed later in the year. This would be a real gift. I really hope this one is true.
2. [Steven Moffat][5] (soon to be top dog at [Doctor Who][4]) has [spoken about the possibility about a Who movie][2], without actually saying anything. I love my Who, and really don’t see the need for a movie, but the increased exposure it would give the franchise, in the form of people who never watch public television would be great.
