A new Doctor Who spinoff just launched today and it’s free to watch wherever you are in the world. The BBC is in the midst of its massive Time Lord Victorious transmedia initiative, with basically every kind of Who media outside of TV uniting to tell stories set within the Tlv framework. One of the most ambitious projects is Daleks!, an animated webseries focusing on the Doctor’s oldest enemies, and the first episode is available to view now on YouTube.
Titled “The Archive of Islos,” the 13-minute action-packed adventure sees the Daleks invade the planet Islos as part of their scheme to get their sucker arms on the Archive of Islos, a vast resource of valuable knowledge. Unfortunately for the evil pepper pots, however, the robotic Archivians who guard the Archive are not as easily threatened as they expected them to be.

Agent Carter star Hayley Atwell and King Charles III’s Tamara Lawrance are to lead the cast of David Heyman’s BBC drama The Long Song.
The pair are to front the three-part series, which tells the story of dying days of slavery in Jamaica, alongside a supporting cast, which includes British comedy legend Lenny Henry.
The Long Song starts in 1838 on the British-ruled Caribbean island as three hundred years of slavery came to a chaotic end. The series follows July, a strong-willed young female slave on a Jamaican plantation, played by Lawrance, who goes from being a slave to the mother of a gentleman. The story is told from July’s perspective as she looks back over her life. Atwell plays her odious mistress Caroline Mortimer, while War and Peace’s Jack Lowden plays a charming new island arrival.
Henry stars as Godfrey, Doña Croll (EastEnders) as Old July,...

Digital Spy readers named David Tennant as Doctor Who's greatest ever Doctor - now, with just weeks to go until the 50th anniversary, DS is embarking on a new quest... to list the top 10 Who stories of all time.
This week, as this campaign reaches its midpoint, it's the second entry in our list from the nu-Who era and the first from Russell T Davies' tenure as showrunner - a chilling and claustrophobic tale that pushed the 10th Doctor to his very limit...
5. Midnight (2008) - written by Russell T Davies
"Shamble bobble dibble dooble."
What's so fantastic about Midnight is that it feels like a great big middle finger from Russell T Davies to his critics - a spectacularly successful response to those who belittled his work, branding it "camp" or "silly" or "lightweight".
In 45 minutes, Rtd subverts every supposed staple of his era as head writer and...
