Following on from our recent Authors Live events, senior producer Gerald Strother brings you news of another live event run in collaboration with our colleagues from Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Wales...

We are pretty excited around these parts because on the afternoon of Tuesday 22 June Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Learning Scotland will be hosting a very special Doctor Who event that promises to bring a bit of time travelling adventure to Pacific Quay.

To celebrate the upcoming launch of Blood of the Cybermen, the second Doctor Who Adventure Game, a panel of very special guests will discuss the first game, City of the Daleks as well as the imminent series finale.

There's more about the event over at the Doctor Who website, which is where you'll be able to submit questions to the panel and see the event live online.

First off, there's a film about hand held gaming which looks at the unique design process of the Nintendo DS and some of its games.
