Doctor Who Magazine Issue 450

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. :/

    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!

      Interesting see this comment in retrospect now we know the magazine sneakily adopted the new series logo without fanfare.

      It usually costs £4.50, but this issue is £4.99 because of the higher page count.

    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. 😀
