We live in a world that seems to get busier and busier. Our work days and school days are controlled by time. We wear time on our wrists, can buy minutes on our phones and pause time on our TVs.
Time Lab encourages us to think about our relationship with time and how it affects our lives. Museum collections are full of objects from moments in our history that tell the story of our lives. Time Lab is a chance to take a minute and reflect on the moments that are most important to you."

They’re back! The Judoon are returning to Doctor Who to face the Thirteenth Doctor!
When Jodie Whittaker returns to Doctor Who next series, the Thirteenth Doctor and her friends won’t be the only familiar faces. The show, currently filming, is set to welcome back The Judoon as one of the Doctor’s fearsome adversaries.
More than twelve years after they stampeded onto screens to terrorise the Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones on the moon in 2007’s “Smith and Jones", the rhino-headed, brutish intergalactic police are returning to cause havoc and thrill children and adults alike.
These ruthless enforcers are on a deadly mission: but what for? And why has it brought them to present-day Gloucester?
The episode will also star acclaimed actor Neil Stuke. Neil has an established career on stage, television and films, and is a two times BAFTA nominee. Neil’s recent credits include Doctor Foster, Silk and Silent Witness.
Chris Chibnall, Showrunner said “No! Sho! Blo! The Judoon are storming back into Doctor Who in full force, and the streets of Gloucester aren’t safe. If anyone has anything to hide, confess now. The Judoon are taking no prisoners, and will stop at nothing to fulfil their mission! The whole team on Doctor Who are delighted and scared in equal measure to welcome them back: one of many treats we’ve got in store for viewers next series. And we’re over the moon (with Judoon), to be welcoming the wondrous Neil Stuke as guest star. We can’t wait to show you what happens when his path crosses with the Thirteenth Doctor."
The eleventh series of Doctor Who was the biggest series of the show in over a decade with an average audience of 8.6m viewers in the 28 days following broadcast, across all available devices.

‘Rosa' was one of the standout moments from series 11 with an amazing response to the story from fans around the world. Today, 4th February, marks 103 years since Rosa Parks (1913) was born and a chance for us to look back.
Not only was the episode embraced by the audience, it was also really important for our cast and crew to make.
‘It’s pretty tough to take and, you know, you really appreciate what people have done for history and time like Rosa Parks.’
Rosa Parks in 1997
The feedback to the episode was so strong, BBC News wrote a story on the reaction from fans while providing more information about the amazing woman.
The episode ended with the Doctor teaching Yaz, Ryan and Graham about what happened to Rosa Parks after the events of the episode. It was moments like this that caused school teachers to get in touch to tell us how they were using the episode in their classrooms.
Don’t forget you can still revisit ‘Rosa’ on BBC iPlayer, along with the other episodes from series 11.
