Doctor Who (the eleventh Doctor)

Doctor Who is now in its eleventh incarnation with Matt Smith now playing the pragmatic Doctor.   Dr Who (produced by the BBC) is the longest-running science fiction television show in the world and also the "most successful" science fiction series of all time. 

The Doctor travels through time in an old blue police box called the TARDIS (an acronym for Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space), which normally appears from the exterior to be a blue 1950s British police box.

The Doctor, in his eleventh incarnation, is an excited explorer of the universe, with a keen intelligence that means he often notices what everyone else has missed. He travels with Amy Pond, the young Scottish woman from the England.  She first met her 'raggedy Doctor' when she was a little girl and had to wait fourteen years before he finally returned and took her off in the TARDIS.

The Tardis had the interior of its control room destroyed when the Doctor regenerated, it reconfigured its appearance and now features a clicking date display, a new central time rotor and typewriters and taps for controls, which suits the Eleventh Doctor's style. It's even given him a port for his Sonic Screwdriver.

The Doctor does not have many friends... In fact there are many, many, many times more people/races/things out to kill him than befriend him.  Monsters are popular with audiences and so became a staple of Doctor Who almost from the beginning. Over the series' initial 26-year run, notable adversaries include the Autons, the Sontarans, the Cybermen the Silurians and Sea Devils, the Ice Warriors, the Yeti, the Rani, and Davros, creator of the Daleks.

Zhu Zhu Pets

Aimed at children under ten Zhu Zhu Pets (otherwise known as Zhu Zhu Hamsters) are the smart electric pet. Each hamster (from a choice of twenty) has its own unique identity with its own character and personality. They are designed to respond to your childs actions and just loved to be hugged, played with and loved. 

Because they are electric they are a great alternative to real hamsters as they don't need a cage, never need cleaning or feeding (well ok maybe the odd battery change) and you can switch them off at night!

They love nothing more than exploring and darting around from room to room to see what they can find. When they've finished a hard day's exploring they just want to be loved. Pick your hamster up and stroke his back, his head or his nose and he'll respond by chirping and squeaking his affection for you. Leave them alone for a while and they will go to sleep until your ready to play with them again in the morning.

With over 40 different sound effect these unique pets will keep your child both happy and entertained for months and months. Each hamster has its own personality and unique traits that make him unique and as they react to the way your child plays and interacts with him, no two hamsters will ever be the same.

Fin Fin Friends

The clever and innovative designers at WowWee have a hit on their hands with Fin Fin Friends. Drawing inspiration from the popular Zhu Zhu pet hamsters, Fin Fin Friends live in an amazing play environment that sees small, but motorised swimming fish playing and living together in small pools of water!

Just send one of the Fin Fin Friends down the slide and watch in amazement as the playset comes to life with lights, sound and movement. Beware though... whilst the Fin Fin Friends can have fun on their own, they do require love and attention to make them dance. The more you play with them, the more responsive they become!

Fin Fin Friends are also virtual pets that become tamer and friendlier the more they are taken care of. Keeping goldfish will never be the same again... as Fin Fin Friends make (and react to) entertaining sounds. Even better - they never need feeding and will last forever if well looked after!

There are four playsets to collect: Caribbean Castle, Seaside Castle, Seaside Shop and Tropical Paradise. Each one includes 1 fish but does require batteries.  Fin Fin Friend sets can be joined together to make one larger play area for all your Fin Fin Friends to swim and play in together!
