麻豆约拍

Hello, I'm the new editor of the About The 麻豆约拍 blog. My first job was to speak to 麻豆约拍 Archive producer, Kate Wheeler about two exciting new collections featuring Doctor Who and Winston Churchill.

The viewing public seem to have awarded new Doctor Who Matt Smith an overwhelmingly enthusiastic thumbs-up. It's great news for him, the team at 麻豆约拍 Wales and the 麻豆约拍, especially as these tricky transitional times haven't always been so warmly received. As a shows, even the most popular Doctor Who actors had a rough ride when they made their first appearance, such as Tom Baker, ever recognisable with his long, multi-coloured scarf and staring alien eyes, who initially struggled to win over fans of his predecessor Jon Pertwee. The naysayers were soon won over though and Baker went on to star in the series for seven years.

Back in February, the 麻豆约拍 Director of Archive Content, Roly Keating, promised that the 麻豆约拍 Archive would be providing an online retrospective of Doctor Who to tie in with this latest series.The 麻豆约拍 Archive Collections team revealed all this week with a collection that contains three galleries of images, each telling a different story of Doctor Who's history, plus nearly 60 years of correspondence, internal memos and Radio Times clippings. My particular favourite is a memo proposing how a potential replacement for original Doctor Who William Hartnell might come about, in which the process that would come to be known as regeneration is described in detail.

"The metaphysical change which takes place over 500 or so years is a horrifying experience...It is as if he has had the L.S.D drug and instead of experiencing the kicks, he has the hell and dank horror which can be its effect."

Just like the Tardis there is much more to discover than is immediately apparent so I urge all die-hard Doctor Who fans to .

If you saw the last episode, you'll know that the Doctor will soon be meeting the legendary statesman Sir Winston Churchill.

The 麻豆约拍 Archive has unveiled a fantastic '' collection including the full morning's broadcast of his funeral, narrated by Richard Dimbleby, where 1960s London paused to witness the procession and dockers bowed their cranes in acknowledgement as one of the first non-royals received a State funeral.

Sir Winston's complex nature is revealed beautifully through interviews with the people who knew him. Colleagues such as Anthony Eden and Harold Macmillan pay tribute to him, while we also hear from his former bodyguard, his private secretaries and the cook who served at 10 Downing Street for both of Churchill's terms in office. A real gem in the collection is an interview with , who was one of Churchill's closest advisers during World War II. Promoting the publication of his diaries, Alanbrooke discusses Churchill's strategies and reveals that at one time or other, he tried to have every one of his senior advisers sacked.

The Churchill collection is vast, offering so much to discover about the legendary statesman who was voted greatest of all Britons by 麻豆约拍 viewers in 2002.
