    Letters From Father Christmas

    Merry Christmas! Every December, an envelope bearing a stamp from the North Pole would arrive for the children of J.R.R.Tolkien. Inside would be a letter in strange spidery handwriting and a beautiful coloured drawing or some sketches. The letters were from Father Christmas. This December, we're learning all about Father Christmas, the North Polar Bear and the Elves as we read reproductions of these wonderful letters.

    Doctor Who and the Star Beast

    In this Whovember bonus episode, we're reading a Comic Book at Breakfast! In anticipation of the upcoming 60th anniversary special, 'The Star Beast', we're looking back to the 1980 Fourth Doctor DWM comic of the same name which Russell T Davies has adapted for screen. Who - and what - is Beep the Meep? Who are Sharon and Fudge? What are the Wrarth Warriors - and what does all of this mean for the Temple-Noble family and the Fourteenth Doctor?
