Today is the 31st of October which means that its Halloween, a day when people dress up as monsters, go to parties, light bonfires and fireworks, and the children go trick or treating! To get you in the mood I put a picture of a character called Maggie who gets infected by the water on Mars in the next episode of Doctor Who which goes out on November 15th on BBC One!

If you are looking for something scary to watch tonight then I recommend Halloween (or Halloween 2, out now in cinemas, for 18s and up), Friday the 13th, or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Or if you would prefer to watch something scary that’s Doctor Who related, then maybe you should put on the Torchwood series one episode Countrycide, that always gives me chills, or even the Doctor Who episodes The Empty Child, Human Nature, and Blink.

Happy Halloween, have a good day!

In a press release regarding the logo, it states that the animated insignia of the show's initials will be used as branding for the new series in conjunction with the logo, so will not appear in the titles. The new head writer and executive producer for series five, Steven Moffat, said; "A new logo. The 11th logo for the 11th Doctor – those grand old words, Doctor Who, suddenly looking newer than ever. And, look at that, something really new – an insignia! DW in TARDIS form! Simple and beautiful, and most important of all, a completely irresistible doodle. I apologise to school notebooks everywhere, because in 2010 that's what they're going to be wearing.” A video showing all of the logos from the past can be seen on the official site here. Meanwhile, filming for series five has been continuing, and you can see some photos from the set below thanks to the Doctor Who set reporter Alun Vega.
