The Doctor's Back! Here's What We're Expecting From Season 10
Doctor Who fans rejoice! Following an achingly long 12 month break, Series 10 is due to kick off this weekend and expectations couldn't be higher! I'll warn you now, there may be a couple of light spoilers ahead so tread carefully!
The wonderful Peter Capaldi will be returning as the Doctor (in what has been confirmed as his final series) and he will be joined by a brand new companion in the form of Bill Potts played by Pearl Mackie. Also, very excitingly, Matt Lucas (who I'll always remember from Shooting Stars and Little Britain!) will be returning as Nardole, a character who was last seen in the 2015 Christmas Special.
The first episode is called The Pilot and will show The Doctor meeting Bill while working as a lecturer in a University, he then of course whisks her away to his weird and wonderful world. Show writer Steven Moffat has promised that this episode is a great starting point for anyone who's not seen the show yet, so there's no excuse not to get involved!
It also wouldn't be Doctor Who without a couple of scary moments to get us hiding behind the sofa courtesy of the huge range of villains that the series is well known for. It seems that new sidekick Bill is going to get chucked in at the deep end as the first episode is said to feature the greatest of all enemies, The Daleks!
Paddington Movie Out Today!
Big news folks! Yep we care bear-ly (sorry) contain ourselves today as the long awaited new Paddington Bear film will be hitting the big screen today!
Paddington Bear has been with us all of our lives and made his first ever appearance way back in 1958 in his very own children's book series. Coming to us from deepest darkest parts of Peru, with his old red fisherman hat, battered brown suitcase (complete with a secret compartment), big blue duffle coat and love of marmalade, Paddington has become and international children's icon and is still huugely loved today by kids and big kids like us.
The story goes, BBC cameraman Michael Bond bought a small toy bear left alone on a shelf in Selfridges store, London, for his wife Brenda. Named Paddington, after the station close to Michaelâs home, the bear inspires him to write eight episodes in just over a week which are later published by Williams Collins and quickly became the UK's Best Childrenâs Novel!

Being made into a simply huuuuge range of books, TV episodes, games toys and more, he's finally hitting the big screen in his first ever feature film!
