Doctor Who fans have been given the chance to travel back in time following the discovery of two missing episodes!

The 1965 and 1967 episodes star William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton, the first two actors to play The Doctor. There are over 100 early episodes of Dr Who still missing which could have traded hands decades ago and be lying, awaiting discovery, in attics and garages across the world.

You might have been one of the millions who have seen it on YouTube or are a fan on Facebook - My Keepon is the little robot with the big personality.

Dancing to any music; no matter what the tune it will keep the beat with an entertaining dance performance.  Turn on your computer’s sound and take a look at the video from the My Keepon official site, we’re sure you’ll agree it has some great moves.

In 2007 when the first My Keepon was introduced you would have had to have shelled out a whopping US$30,000 for one of the dancing models.  Thankfully Wow Stuff has released a version that will suit many more wallets, coming in at a much more palatable £39.99.

In the run up to Christmas, My Keepon is fast becoming the latest ‘must have’ gadget.  You can pre-order yours right here on the ModelZone site to make sure you reserve your place in line to have the My Keepon wrapped up safely under your tree ready for Christmas day.  Plus, for a limited time, Pre-order now and receive free delivery.
