On Record
Just in time for Record Store Day on April 16th, the classic Doctor Who adventure Genesis of the Daleks is being re-released on vinyl.
Transmitted on television in 1975, this classic story featured Elisabeth Sladen across all six episodes. The soundtrack went on to be released, abridged but with a Tom Baker narration filling in any gaps in story. This original record was made available in 1978 by BBC Records and Tapes - and was subsequently released onto MP3 in the early 2000s.
This new edition is brought to us by Demon Records, and its pressed on blue vinyl. There's no hint at the price - you'll just have to get yourself down to your nearest record store in April, and hope really really hard that they have it... and cheap!

Running Late
There's a delay on the first issue of Titan's Doctor Who Fourth Doctor comic. Originally scheduled to come out March 1st, it looks like it won't be out this week either. Such delays have happened before, with the Ninth Doctor series in 2015.
We don't have a date for issue 1, but here's the complete gallery of covers available for the launch issue. Many thanks to Titan Comics for these.
Cover A, by Alice X Zhang
Cover B, a photo variant (edited by ??)
Cover C, by Brian Williamson
Cover D, by Jay Gunn
Cover E, by Matt Baxter
Cover F, blank cover
Many fans like the blank covers, as it allows them to take it to the series' artist, and have them draw a unique image on their edition.
The blank cover does have underneath it the Alice X Zhang image, also.
Best guess, issue one will hit stores on March 16th.
Meanwhile, Comic Book Resources have an exclusive look at the second issue covers on their site. That issue is slated for release March 30th; but this will likely slip back to some point in April/May.

Moon Blink
The cover to Sadie Miller's Moon Blink novel has been revealed:
Based on the early career of Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart and Anne Travers, Moon Blink is "a game of cat and mouse", set during the first moonwalk in July 1969.
You can read all about it here, and on Sadie's twitter page.
Meanwhile, three universes are about to meet - as our very own Finn Jones (Jo Jones' grandson in SJA's Death of the Doctor) has been cast as the lead in the Marvel Cinematic Universes' Iron Fist. Of course, Finn also had a memorable turn in HBO's Games of Thrones a couple of years back. His agent is to be commended for landing him some great roles!
Finally, see where Sarah Jane ranks amongst the best and worst of the Whoniverse's mothers.
