Kill The Moon poses the viewers with a challenging new dilemma. A thought-provoking problem, one that could have eternal repercussions lasting beyond the next millennium.
Is the moon really an egg?
See, here was us humble humans assuming that the moon was made of cheese. Cows would jump over it in books. Benoit and Hobson would take samples for the Moonbase crew sandwiches. And then along comes Kill The Moon with its planet-busting revelation – talk about not making an omelette without breaking a few eggs. There's enough egg here to feed a hungry Mr Strong from the Mr Men books.

By Peter Harness
Directed by Paul Whilmshurst

Clara asks him to apologize; he instead offers her a chance to be the first woman on the Moon.
Alas, all is not well there.

Sci-fi fans can step into the Tardis and travel back 25 years when Doctor Who: Ace Adventures materialises on DVD this coming Monday, May 7.
The box set contains two classic stories featuring Seventh Doctor Sylvester McCoy's companion Ace, played by Sophie Aldred.
A special documentary to celebrate the release has been sent to us and is embedded below.

And in 1988's The Happiness Patrol, the population of the planet Terra Alpha constantly displays happy smiles. Anyone feeling remotely glum disappears - quickly. Having heard disturbing rumours, the Doctor and Ace arrive to topple the entire regime.
The documentary features three cast members of Dragonfire.
