  9. What will the new series bring?published at 14:41 British Summer Time 24 September 2018

    Tom Ingall
    Journalist, BBC Look North

    "That's the trouble with regeneration. You never quite know what you're going to get," the Doctor once declared. Actually that's the wonder of them. Every few years this extraordinary programme, conceived as a 1960s Saturday afternoon children's serial reinvents itself. It's 55 years since William Hartnell first transported viewers through space, time and across their living rooms to the defensive side of the sofa.

    Who is that behind the Doctor?

    Now we stand on the edge of another fundamental change. The trailers tease glorious new worlds to explore, friends to make and foes to fear. At their heart, mischievously brandishing a sonic screwdriver is Jodie Whitaker, promising "Right. This is gonna be fun!" I'm already won over.

    A new generation will come to regard her as their Doctor. A touchstone to remember to their children perhaps. It's precisely these changes which bring in new audiences. As the Doctor wakes following the trauma of renewal, it's an ideal place to join the adventure. We're all at the same place - page one.

    Behind the scenes, with a move to a Sunday night slot and a fresh executive producer, there's a clear aspiration to shake up, disrupt and win hearts. "Well, here we go again," muttered one character as Jon Pertwee's bouffant became Tom Baker's curls. We know how they felt. Ready to be thrilled anew.

  10. Fans come from all over the world for premierepublished at 14:31 British Summer Time 24 September 2018

    Some people have travelled a long way - just through space mind, not through time - to be at the premiere today.

    Paloma Garcia has travelled to Sheffield all the way from from Georgia in the United States.

    Paloma Dr Who fan

    The 20-year-old has been a Doctor Who fan for a couple of years.

    She told us “I wanted to make my friends jealous so I thought I’d pop down. I’m hoping to see the one and only Doctor Who.”

    Paloma is over in Sheffield with her partner, Alex Birds. They’re both fans and have been at the barrier since midday hoping for a good view.

    “It’s a nice city to film in. It’s greener,” Alex said. “It’ll be nice to think Jodie wanted to film in Sheffield.”

  11. 'Acid attack' pony finds a new homepublished at 14:29 British Summer Time 24 September 2018

    A foal which was dumped in Derbyshire following a suspected acid attack has made a full recovery.

    In April, Cinders had pioneering surgery using fish skin after a plea for donations raised more than £14,000.

    And now she's found a new home.

    Cinders

    The then eight-month-old foal was injured and "riddled with parasites" when she was found in Chesterfield.

    Vet at the Rainbow Equine Centre in Malton, North Yorkshire, David Rendle said her injuries looked like someone had thrown a chemical substance into her face.

    He worked with a specialist from the University of California and a plastic surgeon from the burns unit at Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield, to perform the surgery.

    Cinders' new home is in Yorkshire, the equine centre said.

    The plaque, in memory of 25-year-old PC Norman Garnham, was provided by the Police Memorial Trust and is placed on the courtyard wall of The Green Howards’ Museum in the town centre.

    PC Garnham was the first North Yorkshire Police officer to be murdered on duty.

    He pulled over to offer a lift to Colin Simpson, 18 on 2 March 1977.

    He'd run away from his home in Richmond after attacking his sisters.

    When he recognised PC Garnham as a police officer he tried to run off and stabbed the officer ass he tried to detain him.

    Simpson was later convicted of murder and jailed for life.

    At the time, the then chief constable, Robert Boyes described PC Garnham as “a police officer of the very best quality”.

    Rashid, 30, had been on a limited-overs-only deal for the 2018 season.

    His future with the county had been in doubt when he cited a "lack of support" following his recall to England's Test team in July.

    National selector Ed Smith has said players who want to play Tests will now need a red-ball deal in county cricket.

    Director of cricket Martyn Moxon said he was pleased to have "a very valuable cricketer" signed up for the 2019 season - although the situation beyond that is still unclear.

    "For now, it will just be for a year because it's still not clear what career path he's going to take," he said.

    The owner of House of Fraser, the Sports Direct billionaire Mike Ashley, blamed "greedy landlords" for the closures.

    However, in a statement the landlords of the Hull site said they have only owned the building for nine months and described the negotiating position of Sports Direct as a "a step too far."

    They say they are now planning on modernising the site to create "landmark mix-use building" called The Royal House.
