Writer with Minnesota connections writing for Doctor Who
Ok, obvious he grew up in the UK, and he's pretty much everywhere at this point in his career, but we still will claim him as a local to the Twin Cities area.
And as someone who has been a fan since Sandman originally came out two decades (eeeek!) ago, I'm very excited to see that it is extremely likely that in 2011, we will have a Doctor Who story by Neil Gaiman.
One of the most exciting things about Doctor Who at the moment isn't just that it is getting guest star actors like Timothy Dalton or Bill Nighy, but guest star writers like Richard Curtis, Simon Nye, and now Neil Gaiman. That is something that I really like that is in the show's DNA, that the writer is one of the key 'stars' of the show.

Doctor Who Fan Music (Chameleon Circuit)
I think one of the more amusing things about the internet era is that music like Chameleon Circuit has more of an opportunity than ever to get out into the public. In the past, at best, this would be a novelty single or something that you'd end up getting a scratchy, tenth generation tape copy of. Now, you can go right to Amazon.com
Or you can find a video on YouTube:

American Torchwood
I can see how Torchwood could possibly get American treatment, especially with Julie Gardner, Russell T Davies and Jane Tranter all based in California now.
And honestly, I'd so much rather have an American Torchwood than an American Doctor Who remake. Which is something that really does scare me, after all. Especially if it is one not also trying to serve the UK market, which the 1996 TV movie did.
I really don't have a massive opinion about it. After all, it's a genre show on FOX -- it will get canceled after at most a dozen episodes anyways.

Doctor Who success on BBC America
According to the Doctor Who News page The End of Time Part 2 set another record for BBC America, with about 1.47 million viewers across the three showings.
We've also seen The End of Time do well on iTunes, with both parts being in the top ten for the last day or two.
Even more promising than all of this is seeing that they're promoting the future of Doctor Who as well -- with the new series trailer prominently displayed promising new Doctor Who for us this spring, with the pages already getting updated with the new look.
I'll miss David Tennant as the Doctor -- but, well, Geronimo!
