BBC Multimedia releases the first-person shooter Doctor Who: Destiny of the Doctors for Windows PCs in the UK. Featuring sound clips from the classic series, the game also boasts the last new footage of actor Anthony Ainley in character as the Master. 
A new animated Doctor Who adventure, Scream Of The Shalka, premieres on BBCi, the BBC’s web site, starring Richard E. Grant as the ninth Doctor, Sophie Okonedo, and Sir Derek Jacobi. Written by popular Doctor Who novelist Paul Cornell, this story is heavily promoted well in advance with the announcement that Richard E. Grant is the official ninth incarnation of the Doctor; BBCi is unaware of the behind-the-scenes negotiations elsewhere in the BBC with Russell T. Davies. (The BBC’s unexpected announcement of Doctor Who’s imminent return as a live action series invalidates Shalka before its premiere.)
