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…’”

July 26th, 2012 - 6:26pmGreat 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 😉

July 26th, 2012 - 11:37amRIP, Mary Tamm. Another companion gone. Casting a shadow over 50 Who 🙁
tom
July 25th, 2012 - 7:39pm(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)
Proffesor When
July 25th, 2012 - 11:02amGot my copy today! 🙂
tom
July 25th, 2012 - 9:37amthe new logo will mess up the dvds of dr who & they’ll have to change the title sequence.
tom
July 25th, 2012 - 9:37amof the show*
Esterath
July 25th, 2012 - 9:59amHow will it mess up the dvds?
Give me a Dalek any day
July 25th, 2012 - 10:00amYes, I’m wondering that too. 😉
tom
July 25th, 2012 - 5:03pmthe middle of the cover logo will suddenly change
Give me a Dalek any day
July 25th, 2012 - 5:09pmI know, but it won’t really mess it up.

July 24th, 2012 - 10:12pmBooBoo when does this come out and does it have information on the New Series?
booboo
July 24th, 2012 - 10:14pmThursday, don’t know its contents yet

REGENARATING456
July 24th, 2012 - 2:01pmEveryone 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
McGann is The Doctor.
July 24th, 2012 - 1:50pmThe 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. ❗
The Time Lord of Doom
July 23rd, 2012 - 9:42pmThe new logo… It’s so… So… I don’t really like it!! 🙁
Esterath
July 23rd, 2012 - 9:51pmI 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!
Give me a Dalek any day
July 24th, 2012 - 7:13amI like it. Yes, I prefered the other one, but this one is still quite nice. 🙂
The Time Lord of Doom
July 24th, 2012 - 8:59amWell, 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”!!
Dalek Jake
July 24th, 2012 - 1:19pmI agree with The Time Lord of Doom.
Give me a Dalek any day
July 24th, 2012 - 6:56pmI’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! 😀
The Time Lord of Doom
July 24th, 2012 - 7:41pmCan’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.
tom
July 25th, 2012 - 10:28pmAgree with Timelord Of Doom
happiness will prevail
July 23rd, 2012 - 6:05pmIs the poster double-sided or do you one or the other?
happiness will prevail
July 23rd, 2012 - 6:06pmSorry I mean do u get 1 or the other
McGann is The Doctor.
July 23rd, 2012 - 6:17pmToo early for us to know.
Give me a Dalek any day
July 23rd, 2012 - 6:54pmThe poster is of the ‘Every Dalek Ever’ cover or the 2005-11 Encyclopedia cover. 🙂
Anonymous
July 23rd, 2012 - 6:59pmoh ok thanks anyway
happiness will prevail
July 23rd, 2012 - 7:00pmanonymous was me sorry
Esterath
July 23rd, 2012 - 7:13pmThe poster is double sided.
Give me a Dalek any day
July 24th, 2012 - 7:58pmI 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.
booboo
July 24th, 2012 - 8:01pmand soon to be on a lot more!
Give me a Dalek any day
July 24th, 2012 - 8:00pmWhoops! Didn’t mean to post that there! 😳 It was meant to be a reply to The Time Lord of Doom. Sorry! 😳
Cyberking281
July 23rd, 2012 - 7:13amWow! Issue 450, 50 Months Later It Will Be Issue 500
The Other
July 23rd, 2012 - 9:14amI think you means 5 months?!
BOOBOO JR
July 23rd, 2012 - 9:22amNo, this is a monthly magazine, not weekly.
The Other
July 23rd, 2012 - 10:36amWhat?! Oh, right! facepalm.
Anonymous
July 23rd, 2012 - 3:13pmIt’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.
Esterath
July 23rd, 2012 - 3:20pmSo Issue 500 will be out in September 2016-ish?
Anonymous
July 23rd, 2012 - 3:39pm28th of April 2016 is when it is due provided there are no delays.

July 23rd, 2012 - 5:04pmRemember the Christmas breaks!

July 22nd, 2012 - 11:04pmI do wish they had caroline john on the cover

July 22nd, 2012 - 5:43pmIt would be interesting to see the Patrick Trouhton interview and how they do it.
Moxx of Who
July 22nd, 2012 - 5:26pmOk 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!
McGann is The Doctor.
July 23rd, 2012 - 6:19pmI 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….)
Alex The Geek
July 22nd, 2012 - 3:57pmThis is going to be my 75th issues of Doctor Who Magazine! 🙂
McGann is The Doctor.
July 22nd, 2012 - 4:55pmIt 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 ?
Anonymous
July 22nd, 2012 - 5:43pmWhat was your first regular issue? The specials are out of sequence and are out for a good few months.
Nicholas
July 22nd, 2012 - 9:54pmThis’ll be my 24th. I did have more but they probably got thrown out over time
Alex The Geek
July 23rd, 2012 - 10:05amMt 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
McGann is The Doctor.
July 23rd, 2012 - 6:20pmThe 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. 😉
tom
July 24th, 2012 - 12:33ammy 55th issue!!!!!!! 56 including issue 393

Doom Dalek
July 23rd, 2012 - 8:59amHope U Have A NIce Time
give them hell danny boy
July 21st, 2012 - 10:21pmI 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.
tom
July 22nd, 2012 - 12:47amit is gonna be gold, haven’t you seen the poster of luke smith
Proffesor When
July 22nd, 2012 - 8:01amAlso the DW should be a 50!
The Casterline
July 22nd, 2012 - 10:15amlike on the 40th they but it on the audio which looked cool
Jaketorwho
July 22nd, 2012 - 2:14pmThe 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.
tom
July 24th, 2012 - 12:36amDOCTOR 50 WHO will look superb in gold glittery writing
tom
July 24th, 2012 - 12:40amor DOCTOR WHO 50
Dalek Jake
July 21st, 2012 - 10:14pmWill the TV show and every new piece of merchandise have this logo? I hope not.
Bigger on the Inside
July 21st, 2012 - 9:04pmStill think he logo should be gold, even if it’s just for the build up to the 50 th episode!
McGann is The Doctor.
July 22nd, 2012 - 4:56pmThat’s 50th ANNIVERSARY episode.
Jarrod
July 21st, 2012 - 8:37pmSimply put the DW at the side, and the Who underneath ‘Doctor’ in the titles and there we have it.
Black TARDIS
July 21st, 2012 - 8:38pmYeah, the logo change may also bring a new set of titles
daz
July 21st, 2012 - 11:51pmthink 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.
CyberGold
July 21st, 2012 - 8:36pmwhen is this out?
booboo
July 21st, 2012 - 8:36pmThursday
McGann is The Doctor.
July 21st, 2012 - 8:03pmGotta 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 ? ❓
Jason doctorwhoone
July 21st, 2012 - 7:35pmPersonally Ive never been keen on the DW Tardis shape logo, but it feels wrong not seeing it in between the words.
McGann is The Doctor.
July 21st, 2012 - 8:01pmI 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.
Give me a Dalek any day
July 21st, 2012 - 7:16pmNice cover! 🙂 I’m getting used to the new logo now, but I still think the DW in the middle was better. 😛
GreenAnchorRedWaterfall
July 21st, 2012 - 7:44pmWhat…? They changed the logo? On the show? DX
Melina
July 21st, 2012 - 6:57pmLovely cover!
RandomBananaGuy
July 21st, 2012 - 6:40pmI like the basic covers! They are cool
JamieBate
July 21st, 2012 - 6:37pmI’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.
Ross Campbell
July 21st, 2012 - 6:31pmFirst to comment yay and if you can answer me this booboo why dw is not the middle?
booboo
July 21st, 2012 - 6:32pmthey have changed it, DWA and some postcards are like it, suspect everything form now on will have it that way
Doctorpond393
July 21st, 2012 - 7:10pmI’m interested into how they will incorporate it into the title sequence unless we get a new one?
McGann is The Doctor.
July 21st, 2012 - 8:02pmA 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. 😀
Anonymous
July 22nd, 2012 - 11:38amNot 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.
