It’s your semi-daily Dork Report dose of Doctor Who:
The Guardian has more information about the Doctor Who spinoff The Sarah Jane Adventures: a 60-minute special in early 2007, with a full series later in the year.

The Maine national Guard is issuing “Flat Daddies” and “Flat Mommies” to the families of soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. No, really. (spotted on Big O)
