Doctor Who game to transmat in on 5 June
Episode one: City of the Daleks
The BBC's first Doctor Who game in years will materialise on its website on 5 June, the Corporation said today, ready for downloading to fans' PCs and Macs.
Trailed after last weekend's episode, Victory of the Daleks, the game, called City of the Daleks, is set in London in 1963 - the year the show started, no less - and pitches the eleventh Doctor and leggy companion Amy Pond against the new-look monsters - now a long way from the Mark 3 Travel Machines of old.
The BBC is billing the game as "episode one", so fans can expect more games in due course. Future episodes will feature the Cybermen, and undoubtedly other monsters expected to feature in the current series.
The download will be free, from the Doctor Who website. ®

Billie Piper for me!
I know a lot of you don't agree but Billie can <insert your own lame Dr. Who double-entendre here> anyday. Though this new bird seems pretty promising too. The saucy minx.
Is that...
...a little denim miniskirt she's wearing? Man, she is hot. I know it's just pixels, but then so's a photo. Isn't it? What do you mean it's different? Ah, whatever- I look forward to some dodgy hacks of this game...
Sarah Greene is 52. ...Which is okay.
And I don't remember when she was a Doctor Who companion - but Peter Purves was (before my time).
No, that's not an unfortunate name.
Since apparently in the game the Daleks have conquered the Earth in 1963 (I'm thinking "interfering in the Cuban missile crisis"), shall we concentrate on that and not on looking up the heroine's skirt? There are Japanese computer games if that's what you want.

I object to your "hairy palm commenters" label, they never get a chance to grow!
Yes, its Friday...
