He's back! Doctor Who returns to BBC1 screens on 23 August with Peter Capaldi taking the leading role. To get you in the mood for some time travel we've got the full length official trailer and a 50th anniversary tribute by Lego.
The Doctor's world is full of the unknown and someone else who is fascinated by secrets is chatshow host Jon Stewart, who quizzes a CIA insider – aka Jerry Seinfeld – with hilarious results. It's bad enough being upstaged by your guest, but pity poor weather girl Carol Kirkwood who is upstaged by a dog minding its own business on a beach …
Backing singers Anne Hathaway and Kristen Stewart manage to seize the limelight from Jenny Lewis during a video for her latest single Just One of the Guys – and there is no chorus of support when a German TV reporter decides to sing Happy Birthday to chancellor Angela Merkell during a press conference.
New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, who retires this season, has won over hundreds of thousands of fans and our tribute video gives a hat-tip to his remarkable sportsmanship.
Finally, what do you do if you are the director of an Australian ad agency and you want to sell your old, battered 1999 hatchback? You get your friends on board and make the slickest used car ad that has ever been seen.
