Doctor Who stars in an appropriately British game

If Doctor Who were an American TV show, the associated game would be a 3D platforming shooter called Doctor Who: The Official Video Game and featuring monotone voice acting from the show's stars over awkward 3D models. But the very British Doctor is instead coming to the DS (and PS2 and PC) in Top Trumps: Doctor Who, a themed video game version of the popular Top Trumps card game, which involves comparing various statistics printed on cards. It seems a bit more ... restrained than a shooty action game.
Top Trumps: Doctor Who will feature, in addition to the main Trumps game, a story mode in which players can control the Doctor, Martha, Captain Jack or even one of the monsters from the show.

I demand Sonic Screwdriver - DS compatibility.

Unfortunately I think the Sonic Screwdriver will make a lousy DS stylus...

Yaaay!! David! (Fangirl moment, sorry!) Looks good... as long as it doesn't have too much Martha and more Donna and Rose. *reads last paragraph*...oh. Hmm... The Doctor for me, thanks!
