And I was quite surprised by the amounts of texts and emails I got from people asking me if I was the next Doctor...”

Radio Times - Poster and Xmas

We have received information and the cover for the latest issue of Radio Times, which, this week (or two) is the Christmas Bumper Special, with two whole weeks included in the guide. The magazine, out tomorrow, not only has many features other than Doctor Who, like the main cover stars, Wallace and Gromit (their new episode being broadcast this Christmas), but has a short section written by showrunner, Russell T. Davies, telling us what will be coming up in the special, hopefully not giving too much away, and any mild plans that he has for the future of the show, going into 2009. We haven't got a preview for this, but we do for interviews with David Tennant and David Morrissey, the two Doctors in 'The Next Doctor'. But are they both the same Doctor? You can read this preview below, courtesy of the BBC;

David T on David M

“It’s a real thrill to work with him again,” says David Tennant of David Morrissey, with whom he previously starred in BBC1 drama Blackpool in 2004. Morrissey, Dervla Kirwan (opposite page) and Velile Tshabalala, who plays Morrissey’s companion, Rosita, came in for the special at the end of the gruelling nine-month series-four shoot. “There was, I suppose, a danger we’d all be exhausted by the Christmas special,” says Tennant. “But to have David, Dervla and Velile come in with so much energy, always being funny and bright and up for anything, I think it spurred us on. We all got on very well.”


David M on David T

“The show has caught the public imagination. That’s in no small part down to David Tennant,” says David Morrissey (far right). “He absolutely inhabits the role of the Doctor. He’s a fabulous actor. Did you see him in Einstein and Eddington the other week? Brilliant!”
Are you surprised at the level of interest in your casting as the “other” Doctor?

“I’m proud of the episode, so I’m happy with whatever attention comes from that. It was a joy to do. It’s one of the best atmospheres I’ve ever worked in. It’s a full-on drama. That’s what I love about it.”

So you’ll be watching The Next Doctor at home this year?

“Of course. I have a four-year-old, but I don’t think I’ll let him watch. He might find it too strange to see Daddy fighting Cybermen.”

Of course, you’re the bookies’ favourite to take over from David as the 11th Doctor. Are you tempted to have a little flutter?

“[Laughs] It’s just flattering to be in the frame. What David has done is phenomenal, and whoever gets it after him will be a very lucky person. You’d want to keep the spirit of the Doctor, but do it in your own way.”

Inside the issue is also a Doctor Who poster offer, the second this year! You will be able to collect two tokens, one from this issue, and one from the one after that (out in two weeks), and put them together with £2.99, and send them to the Radio Times, and in 28 days at most, you will receive a brilliant Christmas special double-sided poster. The front side features the Cyber Leader and some Cybermen, while on the other, you will see the two Doctors, Miss Hartigan and some more Cybermen.

Captain Jack special!

John Barrowman talks to Doctor Who Adventures

This week’s Doctor Who Adventures celebrates the unstoppable force that is Captain Jack. We’ve got all the facts you need to know about this top Time Agent, an interview with Jack actor John Barrowman, a photo story of Jack blasting the Supreme Dalek and a poster of the brave Torchwood hero.

John Barrowman tells Doctor Who Adventures how he reacted when he first saw Davros on set while filming the final episodes of Series Four.

“I literally freaked out!’” says John. “He is the best villain and I shook a little!”

On whether he wants to be the next Doctor:

“I don’t think I would be but I’d love to be!”

On how he reacted when he first got the part:

“Russell T Davies told me recently that he knew I was going to be Captain Jack before I even met with him. When they told me I got the part, I did what I call a yankie-doodle backflip off the wall!”

We’ve also got speculation on who the Eleventh Doctor could be, the hotly awaited results of our Whovie competition, in which readers told us what they’d most like to see a Doctor Who feature-length film about, a fantastic Time Beetle make and loads more!

The issue comes with a FREE inflatable TARDIS!

PLUS:

• Amazing posters! Jack, The End of the World, and The Mark of the Berserker

• Sarah Jane Adventures: A fact file on the Brigadier and a sneak peek at part one of Enemy of the Bane

The Next Doctor - TV & Satellite Week

Radio Times are not the only ones with a Doctor Who Christmas Special-themed issue. TV and Satellite are on the matter too! The cover shows both Doctors, just like the Radio Times one, but not with a fold-out. Instead, they have Miss Hartigan and the newly-designed Cyber Leader on the same cover. The magazine was released today at the price of £1.10 (which is 5p more expensive than Radio Times, which is a whole lot better). Inside is a feature on the festive special, The Next Doctor, along with nine other great Christmassy programmes to watch! Below you can see the main cover, with part of the preview of the episode on one of the pages inside.

Radio Times - The Next Doctor

We have been sent information and the cover of tomorrow's issue of the Radio Times. The issue is a Doctor Who special, with a fantastic cover. The main cover shows the Doctor and 'The Other Doctor' (David Morrissey) in a promotional picture, in a graveyard. You pull out an inside bit to 'find out who they are up against'. They are up against th Cybermen, of course! But also, Miss Hartigan. Is she the new leader of the Cybermen? Also on this part of the cover there is the slight redesign of the Cyber Leader, showing its brain and a black part of the face. The 'CyberKing' has yet to be revealed, but that should be worth waiting for! Of course, having a Doctor Who Radio Times tomorrow does not mean that is will be earlier than expected. It is just a preview, leding up to Christmas, like they do every year. There will be another issue, with something different the next week, then a bumper 2-week Christmas issue. Below, you can see the full cover, including the fold-out;

A preview for the issue has also been released, and you can view that below;

So this is Christmas. We’re at Cyber HQ in London 1851 - in reality a set at Cardiff’s Upper Boat studios in April 2008. This is Torchwood’s Hub cunningly redressed for this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special as a sort of huge Cyber-Victorian engine - all cogs, chains, furnaces, pipes and steam. Think steampunk. Or a huge version of the board game Mouse Trap.

Street urchins are shovelling coal into buckets, pouring oil into funnels and trudging up and down rickety wooden stairs. “No smiling, please,” says director Andy Goddard. “You’re not supposed to be enjoying this. It’s hard and tiring. It’s the worst Christmas you’ve ever had.”

At the time of giving the Christmas special its title, The Next Doctor, Davies knew the news of Tennant’s departure would have become public [Tennant announced in October that he’s leaving after filming four more specials next year]. “Hopefully, that creates a bit more intrigue,” says Davies, “and hints at interesting developments in the show’s future. Let’s just say that regeneration is a complicated process, and never as simple as it seems.”

“The Doctors become great friends,” he says. “In this episode the Doctor [Tennant] doesn’t have a companion, which is rare, and my Doctor fills that gap. But all those questions my Doctor wants to ask about himself and his past have to be put aside to save London from destruction.”

Tennant and Morrissey have also worked together before - in the 2004 BBC1 drama Blackpool. “What David’s done with the Doctor is so special,” says Morrissey. “He has moved it on - not just the character, but also how he’s taken on the role publicly. We were filming in Gloucester with 400 people watching. When I got out of the car with David it was like being with a member of Take That! They were shouting, ‘We love you!’ and he was so warm-hearted towards them.”

Morrissey explains his approach to nailing his Doctor: “There has to be an inner truth for me, something at stake, and you have to play that for real.” So did any former Doctors influence his performance? “When I look at Tom Baker and William Hartnell, there’s a truth to their performances; Patrick Troughton as well. They never saw it as a genre show or a children’s show.

Would Morrissey consider a return to Doctor Who? “Oh yeah. Definitely. I love it. I’ve had a great time.” As speculation gathers pace about who’ll take over from Tennant, Morrissey is, perhaps unsurprisingly, the bookies’ favourite. “If they asked me back,” he says, with a twinkle in his eye, “I’d jump at it. I think it’s a great character, and I’ve loved every minute.”

The issue covers the week starting the 6th to the 12th of December. It costs £1.05, and should be avaliable at all good magazine retailers.

Torchwood Magazine 12 - Press Release

Sorry about this being so soon after the last post, when there wasn't any press release, but now it has been released for you to enjoy. The main feature inside this issue is a look at the making of the Cyberwoman, seen in the fourth episode of the first series. The episode wasn't a massive hit, but you should be quite interested with this read. There are also games, quizzes, and a chat with the director of the five-part series, due to air next year in Spring, Euros Lyn. Below you can view this press release;

Doctored Footage!
The Children Of Earth team has ventured outside Wales for the second time, producer Peter Bennett has told Torchwood magazine, heading to Bristol to use the set of another popular BBC show: ‘After getting some spectacular footage in London, we also spent a day on the Casualty set. We couldn’t be there for any longer than that, because Sunday is the only day its free!’

Save Captain Jack!
Torchwood magazine brings you festive Torchwood fun in the new issue, with a pull-put-and-keep board game that’s perfect for post-turkey merriment. Captain Jack is trapped in the hub – can you beat your friends and avoid the pterodactyl to save him? Plus, test your knowledge of all things Torchwood in our fiendish seasonal quiz. Take a look below for more on the new issue’s other features and interviews.

Torchwood fiction and comic strip
There’s something fishy going on at the Sunny Bay Caravan Park. Could the mysterious Mr. Glee have something to do with it? Find out in part two of David Llewellyn’s The Book of Jahi, with fantastic illustrations by Mike Dowling. Plus, it’s the calm before the storm in the penultimate chapter of the Rift War saga by Paul Grist.

Action Man: Euros Lyn
As principal photography wraps on Children Of Earth and post production gets under way, we talk to the man who’s been calling the shots on set every step of the way. After cutting his teeth on some memorable episodes of Doctor Who, series director Euros Lyn reveals all about getting to grips with Torchwood: ‘It’s such an amalgam of genres, with lots of kitchen-sink realism mixed with some really epic, saving the world heroics. It’s also got a lot of humour and some wonderful, touching moments of personal relationships. It’s the strangest show I’ve ever worked on, to be honest, in that it combines so many different qualities.’

Precious Metal: Caroline Chikezie
There have been few guest characters in Torchwood as memorable and iconic as Ianto’s part cyber-converted girlfriend Lisa – aka Cyberwoman. Actress Caroline Chikezie stepped into the killer heels of this plug-in baby, and in the latest issue of Torchwood magazine she tells us all about it: ‘I love the scenes where she lifts people up and throws them around, and I felt like a King King-style character doing that. I also loved all that menacing Cyberwoman dialogue, and that self-assured look as she kicked everybody’s ass. She was so badass, it was amazing!’

Episode Guide: 1.4 Cyberwoman
In the depths of the Hub, Ianto Jones hides a terrible secret. Wired up to a bizarre life-support system, his girlfriend Lisa Hallett exists in a part machine state: the result of an incomplete conversion into a Cyberman. Though Ianto hopes Lisa can hang on to her humanity long enough for him to find a cure, her nascent Cyber programming is beginning to take hold, putting the whole team in mortal danger… Revisit series one’s Cyberwoman in this issue’s comprehensive Episode Guide, with trivia, commentary, credits, the best lines and the best scenes!

In Their Own Words 5

The fifth volume of the special magazine series from Doctor Who Magazine has been released. Cover and information about the magazine has been released from the makers, Panini Magazines. The magazine series covers the Classic Series of Doctor Who, with interviews and great features, with much of the cast talking about their time on the show. This should be the second to last volume in the series, as it covers 1987 - 1996, after which the New Series occurs, and they will be doing another one for that next year. The main Doctors it covers are the seventh, Sylvester McCoy and the eighth, Paul McGann, as well as some contributions from Jon Pertwee, Peter Davison and Colin Baker, with an afterword written by Paul Cornell. You can view the cover above, and read some information about it below;

For almost 30 years, Doctor Who Magazine has documented the making of this unique television series, interviewing every major player, be they actors, directors, producers, designers, writers... even monsters! This Special Edition gathers together the best of these interviews, as the cast and crew themselves recall their part in the history of Doctor Who, making for a frank, forthright, and insightful memoir – in turns funny, poignant, and surprising. To illustrate their story, DWM has selected hundreds of amazing pictures – iconic images from the BBC archives, alongside less familiar shots from private collections.
In Their Own Words – Volume 5 covers one of the most creative and innovative periods in the history of the series, beginning with the first appearance of the Seventh Doctor, Sylvester McCoy. It follows the events of the late 1980s, when the Doctor was redefined as being ‘more than just a Time Lord’ and a Machiavellian figure who was prepared to use his companion, Ace, as a pawn in his fight against evil. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, find out why powers at the BBC decided to end the run of the UK’s longest running science-fiction show – and how a new series of novels, a Children in Need Special, radio adventures and made-for-video productions filled the gap left behind by the TV series. And discover how the series made its comeback with Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor in the 1996 TV Movie – as Doctor Who simply refused to die.
Paul Cornell, author of the highly acclaimed Doctor Who stories Father’s Day (2005) and Human Nature/Family of Blood (2007), writes exclusively for the special on how the Sylvester McCoy era inspired him:
“I have a romantic attachment to the experimental nature of this era, to how much Andrew Cartmel [script editor] and his team were trying new ideas. To how young everyone was. I was captivated at the time by the ‘dark Doctor’ stuff, as in love with it as I was with the work of Alan Moore and Frank Miller, the zeitgeist beside which this direction made such sense. I waited urgently to see how the legend developed. I hung on the asides and hints, and filled in the gaps with my imagination. It was only the second time a production team had looked at Doctor Who since it began, and said ‘let’s try it in an entirely different way’.”

The magazine is out now at the price of £5.99!
