Doctor Who Adventures issue 274
Doctor Who Adventures issue 274
I’VE spent this week chatting to an underwater town of octopuses.
Well I say ‘chatting’. I guess it was really ‘escaping from’. Octopuses are fascinating and clever.
They have three hearts, blue blood and can regrow lost tentacles – sort of like regeneration. I thought they might be related to Time Lords.
They’re not. At least, the ones on the sea planet of Flamph say they’re not. But they did think I looked tasty. Yikes!
Also inside…

June 24th, 2012 - 12:37pmWhat’s happening the ood keeps turning into a silent and then turns into a ooh and then tally marks keep coming

June 24th, 2012 - 2:48pmThat’s rather fun. The amount of times I have visited this page, I should have noticed sooner.

June 24th, 2012 - 10:58amFor anyone who is still interested in my free gift issue, I have done some research.
The pencil topper gift we have had already with issue 205 – it is identical.
The five plastic dalek toppers I can only presume are the same ones as with issue 249.
As we have technically had both before, I am happier now with the one copy. But had they been two new gifts it would have been a different matter. Recently we had an issue with one of three previously issued masks. I could not determine the difference through the packet, so had to settle for one.
The Monitor
June 23rd, 2012 - 5:11pmHas anyone managed to get a different version than pictured?
I have checked a dozen shops now in four different towns. Either they are prematurely sold out, or only have the “white-with-caricature-dalek-artwork” versions.
booboo
June 23rd, 2012 - 6:05pmi had a look in Tescos and they were all the same (pencil rubber)
The Monitor
June 23rd, 2012 - 6:33pmThanks Booboo.
Merseyside-9 copies for sale all “pencil rubbers”
Cheltenham/Gloucester area Tesco -all pencil rubbers
I have checked various newsagents, Shell garages, WHS’s, Sainsburys, Waitrose’s and Asda’s in a broad middle and Southern Hampshire area… all pencil rubbers.
I desperately hope that the magazine cover is premature/wrong and that there were not able to distribute the other version this week. Otherwise many of us are going to have incomplete DWA collections.

June 22nd, 2012 - 3:06pmIs there a shortage of this mag in the stores this week? I buy this online and despite a preorder it hasn’t shipped. My backup store doesn’t seem to have it in stock either. ;(
The Monitor
June 22nd, 2012 - 10:10pmInteresting. From a UK point-of-view, when I just discovered there were two versions, I nipped to all my local stores, that A) had less copies and B) only had the variant I already have.
Has anyone else found both versions yet. Presumably the pencil toppers are different.

June 21st, 2012 - 7:57pmWhich set should I get? I really don’t know
What’s the companion guide booboo?
The Monitor
June 22nd, 2012 - 10:11pmYou will be lucky if you find a shop with a choice. Sometimes it is a perfect distrubution, other times it seems half the country get one permutation and the rest get the other…

Time Lord of Doom
June 20th, 2012 - 2:46pmLol it sometimes shows a Silence instead of an Ood too! Booboo why is that happening?
Mels
June 21st, 2012 - 10:17amThere’s an image randomiser that picks one of three images every time the page loads.
Either that or I’m lying to you and booboo works for the Silence. 😀

June 20th, 2012 - 8:22amBEST COVER EVER!

moxx of who
June 19th, 2012 - 9:18pmnice cover. What are the posters? Brannigan isnt a monster! Whos the companion guide about and whats doctor wear. Plus whats in next weeks mag?
moxx of who
June 23rd, 2012 - 10:25pmPosters are: A3 Don’t blink weeping angels, A4 amy and Rory’s best moments: Vampires of venice and a4 Ultimte monster poster Brannigan. Although he isn’t a monster but an alien friend. They did this with the tritovores and forest of cheem. Friends not monsters!
Simon
June 19th, 2012 - 7:07pmcreepy tally marks come up all over the cover they were not there just now 😯
Time Lord of Doom
June 19th, 2012 - 7:08pmDon’t worry, it’s just doing that. One time Silent, one time Ood. 🙂
Mels

Boodleoo

Boodleoo
June 19th, 2012 - 7:00pmOh wait it’s back to being an ood with loads of tallys everywhere maybe it’s a joke by Booboo
Cyberleader
June 19th, 2012 - 7:01pmThere is an Ood on the cover I dont see any silent
Boodleoo
June 19th, 2012 - 7:01pmEverytime you reload the page it’s different very clever Luke or Booboo who ever did it.
Time Lord of Doom
June 19th, 2012 - 7:01pmNo it’s a silent now. It’s quite freaky!
Boodleoo
June 19th, 2012 - 7:02pmI am having so much fun just clicking refresh. 🙂
Time Lord of Doom
June 19th, 2012 - 7:03pmSo am I! Also it’s funny cause when it’s a Silent it says beside Ood Alert! 🙂
Boodleoo
June 19th, 2012 - 7:07pmYeah it’s so strange. 🙂
BB

Spooky!
BB
June 21st, 2012 - 6:49pmBooboo or somebody, why is this doing this, because everytime I either reload the page, return to the page or send a comment/reply it alternates?
booboo

BB
June 25th, 2012 - 6:29pmcheers 😉
Give me a Dalek any day
June 19th, 2012 - 6:35pmWhat’s up with the cover? Looks like a good issue.
Also, off topic, but it’s my birthday today! The DW related presents I got were a TARDIS door poster and Torchwood: Into the Silence book. I’m also getting Death to the Daleks on Friday as it hasn’t arrived yet. 😀
Time Lord of Doom
June 19th, 2012 - 6:57pmHappy birthday!!! Hope you had a GREAT day!

Time Lord of Doom
June 19th, 2012 - 6:30pmOoh I want this issue so badly due to me collecting Deadly 60 cards.
Also, I just got issue 273. The diary is awesome (although when you reveal the writing it does leave a blue mark) and it was a good read. The Freaky First Encounters was really good, I learnt some new Davros Facts from the quiz, some interesting info on the Sontarans and nice behind the scenes pictures from Series 7 filming. I think they should take out the jokes though – they’re quite pointless!
