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.

August 4th, 2011 - 5:51pmI 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

The Doctor.
August 4th, 2011 - 8:24amJust got a copy from tesco’s and it does come free with a micro-figure, I got another Doctor:sad:
King of the weevils
August 4th, 2011 - 8:35amI hate opening packets with doctors in! It’s soooooo annoying! Going to tesco in a minute! Let you know what I get(it’ll probably be a weeping angel or amy or doctor)
locde mordeci stetson

locde mordeci stetson
August 4th, 2011 - 10:13ambooboo can you feel the packets
booboo
August 4th, 2011 - 10:14ami dont know how they are packed in any event you will only be able to tell the difference between a Dalek and a figure
King of the weevils
August 4th, 2011 - 10:59amYou can feel the packets! 🙂 I got a cyberman to add to my 7 other ones 😉
King of the weevils
August 4th, 2011 - 11:01am13 actually! 😉

booboo
August 4th, 2011 - 11:32amdont know
locde mordeci stetson
August 4th, 2011 - 11:35amcan you get a doctor
King of the weevils
August 4th, 2011 - 12:25pmYou can get rares as I think they have taken random picks out of lots of different boxes so you could get one! You will definitely find a doctor in one of them!
King of the weevils
August 4th, 2011 - 12:45pmMy 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 🙁
locde mordeci stetson
August 4th, 2011 - 1:14pmking of weevils what does the doctors hair feel like
King of the weevils
August 4th, 2011 - 1:31pmI don’t know sometimes you can think it’s a figure you need but it turns out to be another one! I know the doctor(jacket on)has a code on and I know you can feel the sonic screwdriver
timelord22
August 4th, 2011 - 2:30pmyou can get rares- megashorts got the rare angel 🙂 i subscribe but i’ve got all series 1- hope everyone gets a good one!
locde mordeci stetson

August 3rd, 2011 - 7:54pmHello again! With this, I got my third Matt Smith notepad and pencil. By the way, BooBoo,I just thought I’d let you know you spelt Rory wrong in the magazine description.
daleksean

King of the weevils
August 3rd, 2011 - 2:48pmI’m not booboo but if you buy it in shops you get a cb figure and if you subscribe you get a surprise gift
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
August 3rd, 2011 - 2:52pma character building figure???? at randomn?? i got another set of those magnets , it’s different if u have a another notepad and pen
Jaketor Who
August 3rd, 2011 - 1:34pmi really like that poster of the doctor, amy and rory on the green background, looks awesome
King of the weevils
August 3rd, 2011 - 11:56amBooboo is it £2.50 this week? 🙂
booboo
August 3rd, 2011 - 11:59amYes it is, and the free CB figure is exclusive to certain retailers
King of the weevils
August 3rd, 2011 - 12:02pmDo you know what retailers?
booboo
August 3rd, 2011 - 12:04pmno 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 - 12:08pmIt’s a figure from series 1 isn’t it? Cause that’s the picture in the mag it has series 1 figures 🙂
booboo
August 3rd, 2011 - 12:09pmyes its just the normal retail blind bags, they have just got back to me
King of the weevils
August 3rd, 2011 - 12:12pmHmm perhaps they may give out a few exclusive ones in a couple of weeks time in the run up for series 6 part 2
booboo
August 3rd, 2011 - 12:14pmcould 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 - 12:16pmYeah i think they should and is it true the new CB figures are expected in shops this month and will they change most of them?
booboo
August 3rd, 2011 - 12:25pmThey have changes 60% of so of the original line up
King of the weevils
August 3rd, 2011 - 12:27pmWasn’t alaya meant to be a series 2 figure before she became super rare?
booboo
August 3rd, 2011 - 12:32pmthere were only seven figures shown, she wasn’t one of then no
King of the weevils
August 3rd, 2011 - 1:18pmOh must be getting mixed up with the series 1 restac which I still don’t have thought I had it once but it was a cyberman
timelord22
August 3rd, 2011 - 1:30pmI subscribe so i didn’t get it- rather annoying but i’ve completed series one anyway. But if it was a super rare in one of the mags i’ll be rather annoyed.
Doctor who 1234
August 3rd, 2011 - 5:54pmhow fast did they get back to you booboo??? and did they say they will give you a free one?
booboo
August 3rd, 2011 - 6:35pmvery quick but the free one isn’t advertised in the subscription copies so there isn’t one to get
miss-who/MissDWGurliie
August 3rd, 2011 - 9:06pmThe free one wasnt advertised in the back of my last issue and i am not a subber..
booboo
August 3rd, 2011 - 9:12pmi 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.
miss-who/MissDWGurliie
August 3rd, 2011 - 9:44pmi know :\ its really annoying..
King of the weevils
August 3rd, 2011 - 9:46pmI’m got the issue from tesco last week and mine did say about the figure and I’m going back there tomorrow as my mum and nan take my aunt shopping every Wednesday or Thursday so I’ll let you know if I get one
doctor pond 393
August 3rd, 2011 - 11:51ami emailed character about the error on the dr in stetson and this was the reply:
Thank you for your email. We are aware of this error and this will be rectified if there isanother production run in the future. All feedback is greatly appreciated as this aids us in futuredevelopment of our products. Regards, Gemma MorrisCustomer Service Advisor
King of the weevils
August 3rd, 2011 - 12:14pmMaybe they’ll release him with a closed sonic screwdriver as well!

Anonymous
August 3rd, 2011 - 8:31pmAnd 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.
King of the weevils
August 3rd, 2011 - 9:44pmWasn’t there a few faint blueish lines on the shirt as well?
Doctor who 1234

booboo
August 3rd, 2011 - 10:20amIt 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.
Sam TimeFan
