October 29, 2008 and David Tennant announces that he is to stop playing the Doctor. He will pass the sonic screwdriver onto another actor after the filming of four specials for 2009.
Will it refresh Doctor Who?? Will it give the new head writer Steven Moffat a clean slate to work with??
We will have to wait until 2010 to find out.

Huntingdon Toyfair
Last sunday saw us at one of our favourite toyfairs, held at the Wood Green Animal Centre near Huntingdon.
Unfortunately this time it didn't go so well. The toys were disappointing but the fairies did ok. I still managed a couple of bargains and hopefully will turn them round fairly quickly.
Despite the Fair being as busy as usual folks just weren't putting their hands into their pockets unless they saw something they really wanted. Is this the work of the Credit Crunch and those greedy bankers? Just where has all that money gone, it was only last year that the banks were making billions in profit, now they have no money!! Well it certainly didn't appear at Huntingdon.
Still there is always next time!

Toyfair - Morley, Leeds
Well after an early morning start and driving through torrential rain we arrived at school in Morley, Leeds.
Morning assembly was to set the stall out in conjunction with PJ-Gifts, they seem to get everywhere, especially where we go!
First lesson of the day - how to buy a cup of tea and coffee, simple that one, the school had laid on their dinner ladies, and despite what they used to say about school dinners they were probably the busiest single stall at the toyfair, and it wasn't down to James Oliver.
The morning went brilliantly to start with, top marks gained by Doctor Who, just slightly ahead of the Alien Warrior and the Predator Hybrid.
The afternoon brightened up and, as we were in the foyer, it became a lot warmer when the sun streamed in. However, detention was looming for Primeval as they lacked any firepower in their run-off for third place with Batman.
All in all it was a steady day, only the second time we had done this J & J Webb Toyfair, it won't be the last either.
We'll be back in December as Arnie almost said.
