The latest issue of Doctor Who Adventures issue 54, is out now across the United Kingdom.

Doctor Who's interactive services have been nominated for an International Emmy Award.

The nomination is for innovation on multi-media outlets to complement the broadcast programme and recognizes content on the web, Interactive TV and mobile phones.

Speaking to the official Doctor Who website, Interactive Producer Rob Francis said "The Doctor Who television series has always been at the forefront of creative innovation, and we've been determined that our interactive and online offerings are equally ambitious".

Since the return of the series in 2005, the BBC has launched a number of projects aimed at complementing the series. These include the interactive Christmas special, Attack Of The Graske, the Tardisodes for Season Two and the Comic Maker application, which allows fans to create their own online adventures.

Francis promised "some exciting new interactive features for Series Four".

Doctor Who is nominated along with Spooks, Emmerdale and The Truth About Marika. The winner will be announced in Cannes on 8th April 2008.

Episode Eight of Torchwood, A Day in the Death, scored an Appreciation Index figure of 85. It was highest figure for the day on BBC2.

The edited repeat was watched by 0.9 million viewers, a 4.0% share of the total audience. Torchwood Declassified also got 0.9 million viewers.

Unofficial figures show that the BBC2 showing of Torchwood Episode 8, A Day in the Death was watched by 2.7 millionviewers, a 11.7% shareof the total TV audience.

The programme was the most watched of the day on BBC2, beating Eggheads, and the 19th most watched on British television for the day. The episode had its premier on the digital channel BBC3 last week, where it was watched by 1.05 million viewers.

Episode Nine, Something Borrowed was watched by 0.81 million viewers on BBC3, making it the highest rated programme on BBC3 for the day, and giving it a 4.9% share of the total audience.

Episodes of Doctor Who that were originally colour but now only exist in black and white could be restored to their former glory.

In a major piece headlined Putting colour back in the Doctor's cheeks, today's Guardian reports how the colour recovery process has been made possible thanks to an error by technicians when 16mm black-and-white film recordings were made from the original colour master tapes for overseas sales before the masters were purged.

These telerecordings were liable to interference from the colour-encoded video signal, and this pattern of grey dots - called chromadots - would normally be eliminated with a filter.

However, filters were not always used, meaning the chromadots were often burnt into the film, and while at BBC Research engineer James Inselltheorised that it was possible to extract the original colour pattern and decode it.

Insell, who subsequently set up an independent group to work on the technology, points out in the article: "The quality of the film has got to be good enough to have captured this pattern. We're really talking about working from the original negatives and having an HD scan made to get as much information as possible from the film."

The piece stresses that this is not colourisation, whereby colour reference material is used or colour is invented. It quotes Insell as saying: "In the colour recovery process, what you get out are the original colours."

Such is the potential that software for large-scale colour recovery is being developed, and he adds: "BBC Worldwide is obviously quite interested in releasing archive content, notably with Doctor Who and various programmes like that."

Insell also worked on the reverse standards conversion process, which was used to great effect on various DVD releases, such as The Claws of Axos.

Final figures released by BARB give Episode Six of Torchwood,Reset, a final rating of 3.22 million viewers, making it the channels 5th most watched programme of the week. Reset was first shown on BBC3 the previous week.

Episode Seven, Dead Man Walking received 1.01 million for its premier on BBC3, and was the second most watched programme on the channel for the week.
