In this weeks cap addition, Castrovalva, we here at THT Worldwide were reminded about what a unique story it is.  Having it be a post-regeneration story would normally be distinctive enough for any fan to pay attention to, but it's easy to forget that it's also the Tardis-iest story in the canon.  The Doctor's Wife is by our reckoning the only nu-Who exploration of the Tardis, so newer fans might well forget that the Tardis is a world to be explored on it's own, even though it rarely has been.  

The Invasion of Time only delved into the Tardis out of sheer desperation.  The Edge of Destruction was a bottle story needed to move original cast between two epic stories.  Other than the appearance of the auxillary control room for Season 14 and a few looks at rooms just off the control room once in a great while, the Tardis remains largely unexplored.

The Castrovalva caps offer a distinct improvement in breadth and quality over what was perviously on file.  I wonder what next weeks addition will be?

Tour faithful are aware that it's been a tumultuous week here @ THT Towers.  Unexpected server failure for the core of the site was followed with a mishandled changeover to the backup.  DNS hilarity ensued but fear not Tour denizens, we're still taking oxygen, and as proof we're rolling out, out of cycle as it were, two new sets of caps for Tour inclusion.  

• The Face of Evil had caps but the new collection is far more complete and properly formatted.
• The Dominators caps are brand new however, but take our word for it.  Poor stories (and this is one) aren't nearly as fun to cap as the good'uns.

We also take note of the passing of the Torch, yet again, to Matt Smith.  This time of an Olympic variety.  But did you spot the obvious error everyone made with Smith's carriage of the flame.  Perhaps it's been commented on elsewhere and it just escaped our attention but he's wearing 001 on his running outfit.  If the production staff was canny enough in The Lodger to have Smith in a #11 jersey then, why not now?  

After months of percolation the first real site-wide update for 2012 hits, and it's also the largest site-wide update in Tour history, adding over 6000 images to raise the overall image count over 145,000 whilst improving many, many others.  One emphasis to get the Tour through this gap period between seasons is to improve the breadth and quality of the screencaps within Tour confines.

Many of the earliest caps included for the Tour were either unsorted or of relatively poor quality, and the goal until the fall return of the show is to improve this.  We're particularly proud of the revision to the 1996 TVM, which finally got everything ordered and improved the quality as well.  Other stories included in this update which also had updates are The Daemons, Colony in Space, The Android Invasion, and The Robots of Death. 

While we have quite a few other stories on tap to cap, as it were, we're also in the market for cap submissions.  If you (and you know who you are) have caps which fill or improve Tour content, let us know.

Other Tour notables with this update, William Russell Who Not Who! images have been broken out into their own section and the nascent Jenna-Louise Coleman Who Not Who! images has been updated yet again.  That spans the entire run of the series doesn't it?
