See how Doctor Who Adventures is made

The Doctor Who Adventures gang will be at the Doctor Who Experience on Friday 5 August for some special sessions. Meet our comic artist John Ross and learn his many secrets, and find out how the magazine is put together. Interactive workshops will take place throughout the day giving you the chance to meet the editor, writers and illustrators and learn how to design your own magazine or comic.

There will be four sessions lasting one hour each, starting at 11.30am. 30 places are available at each session.

The hour will be split into two sessions
1 – Create your magazine (with the Doctor Who Adventures team)
2 – Comic masterclass (with John Ross, the Doctor Who Adventures comic artist)

The Doctor Who Experience is at Olympia Two (2nd Floor), Hammersmith Road, London W14 8UX. Maximum 30 places per workshop session – first come, first served. Places are for Doctor Who Experience ticket holders only, and all children must be accompanied by a ticket-holding parent/guardian.

    I felt the CB figure pack and got a Dalek. I was quite nervous about opening it because I thought it was a drone, which I already had. It was a Strategist so now I have all of the Daleks! I also like the cool shapes and designs for the sticky notepads and pen

      My mum just brought me another issue when she went down the shop. I asked why she didn’t just ask if they sell them as it would have been cheaper but she doesn’t think they are sold there which is weird cause they’ve sold(and sell) stuff like the dr who rollers, the sticker books and stickers, the 2008 micro figures and battles in time and Monster invasion! Oh and booboo do you know why there wasn’t a sticker collection this year? they’ve done one every year(except 2009) oh and I got another amy 🙁

    • booboo

      August 3rd, 2011 - 12:04pm

      no but i suspect its most, i will check some around tomorrow when the mag is out. I’m sure an exclusive CB figure or a run of free parts for a larger set of some sort would boost sales somewhat

    • King of the weevils

      August 3rd, 2011 - 12:08pm

      It’s a figure from series 1 isn’t it? Cause that’s the picture in the mag it has series 1 figures 🙂

      could be, we will have to see, I’m not worried now i know for sure its not an exclusive – although they should still do one

    • King of the weevils

      August 3rd, 2011 - 12:16pm

    • booboo

      August 3rd, 2011 - 9:12pm

      i was told it was exclusive to “certain” retailers but i cant see how this works, you could buy the issue 228 in one retailer, say tesco’s that has the figure advert and then pick up 229 in a different shop the next week, say Wh smiths expecting to get a figure and dont. All a bit odd. If its restricted it should say offer only applies to such and such stores.

      And in the story it was blue, some have said it was purple but even then it was a blue shade rather than the brown one the figure is.

      It only specifically mentions CB figures with a picture in some issues, looks like the ones you get from shops, Subscribers just get a surprise gift, there is no mention of a CB figure.
