Per the BBC Press Office, highlights from this summer's Doctor Who At The Proms will accompany the Christmas Special, on BBC One. I'm guessing this is separate from the usual confidentials that usually follow DW on BBC Three. Does this mean there will be no confidential this year? *frets*

Clan Muirhead! *grins* What part of Scotland?

The best summary I've found regaring the stone is this piece, in .pdf format. http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/adsdata/PSAS_2002/pdf/vol_008/8_068_099.pdf

Takes a while to load, apologies.

As to whether the Stone currently resides in Dull, I'm not sure if anyone will ever know for sure. It'd make a nice, modern parallel, though - if the Knights Templar are indeed hiding guarding Jacob's pillow, which supposedly became the pedestal of the Ark in the Temple of Solomon. Regardless, the 'official' stone (if not the real one) is safely in Edinburgh Castle, to be returned to Westminster Abbey for future coronations.

Interestingly, we took a tour of Westminster Abbey when we were in London recently, and the Coronation Chair itself apparently sustained some damage while they were moving it about in storage? I imagine that was a big to-do.
