for everything Doctor Who related
Doctor Who Magazine Issue 450
In an exclusive, brand new interview with Matt Smith, Doctor Who Magazine imagines what would happen if he could talk with the actor who played the Doctor’s Second incarnation, Patrick Troughton: MATT: “Patrick has a very Doctory face.
Everything about Patrick is Doctory! He is peculiar without ever asking you to find him peculiar. All the elements were right.
I loved his costume.” PATRICK: “Well, you go along to the costumiers and they produce various things, and you say, ‘Ahh, that would be good…’”

Off to get a second copy tomorow.
Why ?
There are a number of reasons. 1: The excellent cover has got fingerprints smeared over it.
2: There is a lovely picture I’m going to cut out.
3. Cousin of mine wants a copy of the poster.
4. I can read it at two out of my three houses. (grandparents and parents)
5. There is another lovely picture, but on my original copy of the magazine it has a wierd black smearing that runs accross it. :/

What are the pictures u want to cut out?
Posted by: BOOBOO JR August 5th, 2012
Can someone sum up what’s happened in ‘The Cornucopia Caper’ Comic so far? It says it’s Part 3, and this is only my first DWM Issue, so I’d kind of like to know if I’ve missed anything important. Thanks to anyone who helps!

hey booboo when is the next issue of this coming out?
Posted by: the TARDIS July 28th, 2012
Why are they changing the logo? I liked it how it was!
Posted by: Alex September 7th, 2012
Interesting see this comment in retrospect now we know the magazine sneakily adopted the new series logo without fanfare.
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor July 28th, 2012
Awesome ! They’re doing one of my favourite stories of all time in the Fact of Fiction ! Two Doctors !
This is going to be the BEST ISSUE EVERRRRR !!!!
Posted by: BOOBOO JR July 28th, 2012
How big is the poster that comes with this Issue (A4, A5, etc.) ?
Posted by: LG August 2nd, 2012
ITS MASSIVE…
Posted by: KORSAIR July 27th, 2012
Worth the cover price for the poster alone.
Posted by: BOOBOO JR July 27th, 2012
Is this a good magazine? I’m not sure whether to start buying it or not? I’m 12 and have grown out of magazines like DWA, would I enjoy this?
Posted by: BOOBOO JR July 27th, 2012
Can anyone help?
Posted by: RandomBananaGuy July 27th, 2012
I am 12 and I love this Magazine
Posted by: BOOBOO JR July 27th, 2012
Thanks, how much does it usually cost?
Posted by: Give me a Dalek any day July 27th, 2012
DWM is a great magazine. You should definitely pick up this issue. It’s amazing!
Posted by: Give me a Dalek any day July 27th, 2012
It usually costs £4.50, but this issue is £4.99 because of the higher page count.
Posted by: BOOBOO JR July 27th, 2012
I’ll have a look for it this weekend and see what I think. Can you subscribe to it?
Posted by: Esterath July 27th, 2012
Yes you can. I suscribe and you get it the day before it’s out.

DWM is amazing, I am 12 and I love reading it
Posted by: Esterath August 6th, 2012
I started reading when I was nine.
Posted by: Give me a Dalek any day July 27th, 2012
The poster of the Daleks is currently up on my bedroom wall looking very nice. It was a tough choice between the side with Eccleston, Tennant and Smith or the Dalek one, but in the end, the Daleks conquered all! Again.
Lots of Series 7 (and even beyond!) news in this issue. Some of which is very, very interesting.
Posted by: Jason doctorwhoone July 26th, 2012
Great double sided poster free with this issue
I like the side of all 3 New Series incarnations of the Doctor, but I’m going to have the Daleks instead. I was hopeing if DWM would release the awesome cover of the various Daleks as a poster . . . . seems I was right
Cheers DWM

(DOCTOR WHO DW) dont make sense, just keep it the same logo or take the DW out of it, after all, it’s (DOCTOR WHO) not (DOCTOR DW WHO) or (DOCTOR WHO DW), you might as well call it (DW DOCTOR WHO)
Posted by: Proffesor When July 25th, 2012
Got my copy today!
Posted by: tom July 25th, 2012
the new logo will mess up the dvds of dr who & they’ll have to change the title sequence.
Posted by: tom July 25th, 2012
of the show*
Posted by: Esterath July 25th, 2012
How will it mess up the dvds?
Posted by: Give me a Dalek any day July 25th, 2012
Yes, I’m wondering that too.
Posted by: tom July 25th, 2012
the middle of the cover logo will suddenly change
Posted by: Give me a Dalek any day July 25th, 2012
I know, but it won’t really mess it up.
Posted by: Wouldyoulikeajellybaby? July 24th, 2012
BooBoo when does this come out and does it have information on the New Series?
Posted by: booboo July 24th, 2012
Thursday, don’t know its contents yet
Posted by: Wouldyoulikeajellybaby? July 24th, 2012
Ok thanks
Posted by: REGENARATING456 July 24th, 2012
Everyone can relax now the logo isn’t Doctor DW Who its Doctor Who DW. Thank the lord. I’m EXPECTING SOME CRITISM BUT IT IS MY OPINION AND EVERYONE HAS ONE
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. July 24th, 2012
The New ARRANGEMENT of the logo, yes !
They stopped calling the show Doctor DW Who !
It’s back to Doctor Who now ! JOY !!!
This week has had the best Doctor Who news in ages.
Posted by: The Time Lord of Doom July 23rd, 2012
The new logo… It’s so… So… I don’t really like it!!
Posted by: Esterath July 23rd, 2012
I like it. I didn’t like the DW in the middle as it seemed like it was Doctor DW Who! Now it’s like Doctor Who DW. Why do you not like it? Just want to hear your opinion!
Posted by: Give me a Dalek any day July 24th, 2012
I like it. Yes, I prefered the other one, but this one is still quite nice.
Posted by: The Time Lord of Doom July 24th, 2012
Well, I prefer when the DW is in the middle. It looks very wrong for it to be beside “Doctor Who”. I’d prefer if the left it just “Doctor Who” than “Doctor Who DW”. Or maybe put it back to “Doctor DW Who”!!
Posted by: Dalek Jake July 24th, 2012
I agree with The Time Lord of Doom.
Posted by: Give me a Dalek any day July 24th, 2012
I’ll agree that it feels quite empty without the DW in the middle, but, as I said before, it doesn’t look too bad. We’ll all get used to it…….eventually!
Posted by: The Time Lord of Doom July 24th, 2012
Can’t agree with you there Give me a Dalek any day. First of all, it’ll take me ages to get used to it. And it’s a better design when it’s Doctor DW Who. It looks odd with it beside it.
Posted by: tom July 25th, 2012
Agree with Timelord Of Doom
Posted by: happiness will prevail July 23rd, 2012
Is the poster double-sided or do you one or the other?
Posted by: happiness will prevail July 23rd, 2012
Sorry I mean do u get 1 or the other
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. July 23rd, 2012
Too early for us to know.
Posted by: Give me a Dalek any day July 23rd, 2012
The poster is of the ‘Every Dalek Ever’ cover or the 2005-11 Encyclopedia cover.
Posted by: Anonymous July 23rd, 2012
oh ok thanks anyway
Posted by: happiness will prevail July 23rd, 2012
anonymous was me sorry
Posted by: Esterath July 23rd, 2012
The poster is double sided.
Posted by: Give me a Dalek any day July 24th, 2012
I have to admit, I’ve already got used to it. After all it is on: Doctor Who Adventures, Doctor Who Magazine, Doctor Who Experience and the official Doctor Who site.
Posted by: booboo July 24th, 2012
and soon to be on a lot more!
Posted by: Give me a Dalek any day July 24th, 2012
Whoops! Didn’t mean to post that there!
It was meant to be a reply to The Time Lord of Doom. Sorry! 
Posted by: Cyberking281 July 23rd, 2012
Wow! Issue 450, 50 Months Later It Will Be Issue 500
Posted by: The Other July 23rd, 2012
I think you means 5 months?!
Posted by: BOOBOO JR July 23rd, 2012
No, this is a monthly magazine, not weekly.
Posted by: The Other July 23rd, 2012
What?! Oh, right! facepalm.
Posted by: Anonymous July 23rd, 2012
It’s not monthly either. It’s every four weeks, so it will be the 500th issue in 200 weeks time, so just under four years as opposed to just over it.
Posted by: Esterath July 23rd, 2012
So Issue 500 will be out in September 2016-ish?
Posted by: Anonymous July 23rd, 2012
28th of April 2016 is when it is due provided there are no delays.
Posted by: Esterath July 23rd, 2012
Remember the Christmas breaks!
Posted by: Gordon July 22nd, 2012
I do wish they had caroline john on the cover
Posted by: Anonymous July 22nd, 2012
It would be interesting to see the Patrick Trouhton interview and how they do it.
Posted by: Moxx of Who July 22nd, 2012
Ok cover. Should be gold as its 450! The new logo is ok. They need to update some thing of the matt smith era. David tennant’s 3rd series had a new theme tune. Maybe they can bring back his series 4 one. That was the best theme tune ever!
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. July 23rd, 2012
I prefer Matt Smith’s theme tune to the Series 4 one.
Series 4 was just too upbeat, it wasn’t ominous atall.
I agree I hope they change the theme tune, add an extra layer to it, a layer of the dum-dum bom bee bee effect. Another improvement would be to have Matt Smith’s FACE in the title sequence which would be cool.
(PLEASE MOFFAT, I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS….)
Posted by: Alex The Geek July 22nd, 2012
This is going to be my 75th issues of Doctor Who Magazine!
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. July 22nd, 2012
It will be my next one, I have all the modern ones since the “Mighty 200″ special, including that special.
I also have atleast ten issues from the 80s/90s off ebay.
How many is that ?
Posted by: Anonymous July 22nd, 2012
What was your first regular issue? The specials are out of sequence and are out for a good few months.
Posted by: Nicholas July 22nd, 2012
This’ll be my 24th. I did have more but they probably got thrown out over time
Posted by: Alex The Geek July 23rd, 2012
Mt first one was the Goodbye Rose issue back in 2006. I was so upset at Rose leaving when my Mum saw the issue in Smiths she got for me. I don’t count the specials in my total DWMs
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. July 23rd, 2012
The issue about the mighty 200 is an actual issue. Yes it was my first and I have every issue since then.
I am not talking about the DWM companion, making-of-the-show specials, although I have all the Matt Smith ones.
Posted by: tom July 24th, 2012
my 55th issue!!!!!!! 56 including issue 393
Posted by: tom July 25th, 2012
started from 396 but i was origionally gonna start from 393 but forgot. i have issue 393 tho thats why i wanted to start.
Posted by: oscarwho July 22nd, 2012
got evey one of matt smith since his first series and its amazing that issue 450 is here

Hope U Have A NIce Time
Posted by: give them hell danny boy July 21st, 2012
I still think they should have kept the DW inbeween doctor who. But oh well, what can you do eh? just gotta live with it and think possitive PS: i think for the 5othaniversary special episodes, the logo should be gold.
Posted by: tom July 22nd, 2012
it is gonna be gold, haven’t you seen the poster of luke smith
Posted by: Proffesor When July 22nd, 2012
Also the DW should be a 50!
Posted by: The Casterline July 22nd, 2012
like on the 40th they but it on the audio which looked cool
Posted by: Jaketorwho July 22nd, 2012
The luke smith poster is fake! All posters seen so far are. But i reckon it will be gold! I also prefer the logo in the middle. But now it looks odd. I guess over time it will grow on me.
Posted by: tom July 24th, 2012
DOCTOR 50 WHO will look superb in gold glittery writing
Posted by: tom July 24th, 2012
or DOCTOR WHO 50
Posted by: Dalek Jake July 21st, 2012
Will the TV show and every new piece of merchandise have this logo? I hope not.
Posted by: Bigger on the Inside July 21st, 2012
Still think he logo should be gold, even if it’s just for the build up to the 50 th episode!
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. July 22nd, 2012
That’s 50th ANNIVERSARY episode.
Posted by: Jarrod July 21st, 2012
Simply put the DW at the side, and the Who underneath ‘Doctor’ in the titles and there we have it.
Posted by: Black TARDIS July 21st, 2012
Yeah, the logo change may also bring a new set of titles
Posted by: daz July 21st, 2012
think its changed so that for next year its easy to have ‘Doctor Who 50′ as anniversary logo… its easy for them to fit the 50 over the DW.
Posted by: CyberGold July 21st, 2012
when is this out?
Posted by: booboo July 21st, 2012
Thursday
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. July 21st, 2012
Gotta say I LOVE this cover, the last issue had so much on it, too much.
But I wonder, is this a sign of , I hate to say it, budgetary constraints ?
Posted by: Jason doctorwhoone July 21st, 2012
Personally Ive never been keen on the DW Tardis shape logo, but it feels wrong not seeing it in between the words.
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. July 21st, 2012
I am the opposite.
I liked it, but having it between the words makes the show called Doctor D W Who, so I’m gald they have done this.
Posted by: Give me a Dalek any day July 21st, 2012
Nice cover!
I’m getting used to the new logo now, but I still think the DW in the middle was better. 
Posted by: GreenAnchorRedWaterfall July 21st, 2012
What…? They changed the logo? On the show? DX
Posted by: Melina July 21st, 2012
Lovely cover!
Posted by: RandomBananaGuy July 21st, 2012
I like the basic covers! They are cool
Posted by: JamieBate July 21st, 2012
I’m happy with this cover, I can tollerate Smith when he isn’t spurting catchphrases or acting like a four year old so this pose appeals to me, it commands respect and makes him look the dominating figure he ought to be.
I have read in the back page of Issue 449 that this issue is to be a bumper one meaning it will be larger, which I am glad off as I’m off on holiday the day it comes out which will give me something to read why I’m there I am sure.
Posted by: Ross Campbell July 21st, 2012
First to comment yay and if you can answer me this booboo why dw is not the middle?
Posted by: booboo July 21st, 2012
they have changed it, DWA and some postcards are like it, suspect everything form now on will have it that way
Posted by: Doctorpond393 July 21st, 2012
I’m interested into how they will incorporate it into the title sequence unless we get a new one?
Posted by: McGann is The Doctor. July 21st, 2012
A new title sequence with the new logo, I doubt it.
It will be the same title sequence but hopefully the logo will also be changed.
Posted by: Anonymous July 22nd, 2012
Not necessarily, the title sequence has been using a silver version of that “blue” logo all the merchandise used for the past two years, it wouldn’t suprise me if they just have a new one for the merchandise.
Although the logo was changed for Series 3, so it wouldn’t suprise me if there was a similar change for 11-3.
