It seems that some Doctor Who characters have been spotted in Marvel’s Avengers…
Avengers #7 had some minor characters, who look uncannily like the Tenth Doctor, Rose Tyler, Captain Jack and Mickey Smith. This was a nice cameo crossover by Marvel..

Dear Dad,
This is the difficult bit. If I got this right, you’re reading this a week after we left in the TARDIS. The thing is, we’re not coming back. We’re alive and well; stuck in New York, 50 years before I was born. I can’t come home again, I won’t ever see you again and that breaks my heart. I’m so sorry, Dad. I thought about this for years and I realised, this is what I could do, I could write you a letter, tell you everything about how we lived, about how, despite it all, we were happy. But before I do, I need you to know, you are the best dad any son could have had. And for all the times I drove you mad and you drove me mad, all the times I snapped at you..I’m sorry. I miss everything about you, especially our awkward hugs. I bought a trough, we have a small yard, a garden. But one more important bit of business, the man who delivered the letter, Anthony.. be nice to him ‘cause his your grandson. We finally adopted in 1946: Anthony Brian Williams. He can tell you everything, he’ll have the family albums and I realise having a grandson who’s older than you is so far beyond weird but I’m sorry.
I love you, Dad. I miss you.
Love, Rory.
The BBC released this unfilmed coda by Chris Chibnall. I still think the Ponds will meet Captain Jack while he was in the past. He could save them.
Disclaimer – I don’t own Doctor Who, the BBC does…

The University of Dundee has released a press release about their very own Sonic Screwdriver!
Apparently researchers at Dundee University must have been Doctor Who fans, because they have devised a machine to emulate the Doctor’s very own Sonic Screwdriver. How does it work? It’s sonic, of course, or ultrasound. It uses ultrasound to lift, move and rotate a rubbery disk which floats in a cylindrical glass full of water.
Previously ultrasound was only used to push objects. This is the first time it has been utilised to rotate them.
As a benefit from this research, ultrasound surgery will be much more precise. It will make surgeons able to treat more conditions without having to cut patients open. It might allow special drug capsules to be guided throughout the human body to the right destination, such as a tumour.
