When we first heard that there wasn’t going to be a full series of Doctor Who this year, our initial thought was: you… are… kidding!

But, as the dreaded gap year reaches its end, it turns out that it wasn’t that unbearable after all…

We’ve had the third series’ of Torchwood and Sarah Jane to keep us occupied, and, of course, the Doctor Who Easter special, Planet of the Dead, the Autumn special, The Waters of Mars, Dreamland, and we still have part one of the Tenth Doctor’s regeneration two-parter, The End of Time, to come!

So, for today’s Advent update, we bring you an exclusive desktop wallpaper featuring the stars of 2009, who have made the past 12 months truly unforgettable!
