January 24th, 2013 - 6:40amcrossword 454
13 across entity that staged a stealthy attack on earth
26 across – accessory favoured hc clements
28 across – possible acronym for organisation run by one of the doctor’s former companions
i don’t know how anyone can know the answers to these impossibilities but if you do please tell me.
this is the 3rd doctor who crossword i’ve done this year and its the 3rd one i’ve had trouble with,which is interesting considering i have never had a problem solving them before,so i’m stuffed if i know what’s going on.

October 18th, 2012 - 11:53pmpity local shops like tesco and coop don’t stock it! great to see karen on cover,very nice.
gary
October 18th, 2012 - 6:31pmWhat is going on? Went to the corner shop and the front cover was all scratched up so went to Tesco and the one I’ve got is all ripped up inside!! Refund please, and a nice copy too!
The TARDIS
October 20th, 2012 - 2:28pmThe inside of my copy has the pages of the Mary Tamm tribute ripped in half as well! 4 pages just… ripped, and nothing else. I wanted a refund, but mum couldn’t find the reciept 😥
That Cherub over there
October 18th, 2012 - 4:51pmGot this today! Looks like another great read!
Looking forward to the Doctor Who Insider Winter Special out 1st November! It’s good to see it back! 😀
Esterath
October 18th, 2012 - 4:57pmIs Insider back then?
That Cherub over there
October 18th, 2012 - 5:13pmNo. Just a little special with some new Series 7 stuff in. Looks good though. 😀
Esterath
October 17th, 2012 - 7:19pmI wonder if DWM have seen my pictures?
McGann is the Doctor

Esterath
October 17th, 2012 - 7:18pmI have to wait until Friday to see this because I’m on holiday and my copy comes through the post. Bummer!

October 19th, 2012 - 7:43pmthere is no one this week for some reason
McGann is the Doctor
October 16th, 2012 - 12:59pmDon’t want to discourage you loyal buyers, but I will have to check this issue out before I make a purchase.
Honestly, “Her final interview ” ❓ It’s not like (God forbid) she’s going to get beheaded after this !
Have got every issue since the mighty 200, but this might be the one I finally miss. ❗
The TARDIS
October 16th, 2012 - 5:08pmMeh? You can’t miss this one, it’s got new series info! And a tribute to Mary Tamm!
Anonymous
October 16th, 2012 - 7:50pmIt means her last interview with this mag! Hopefully, not ever!
McGann is the Doctor
October 17th, 2012 - 12:34pmI was actually hoping to avoid any previews of the next bunch of episodes, I find it kindof ruins them sometimes. ❗
The Mary Tamm tribute is the reason I would have to get it, but saying “Her last interview” meaning her last interview with the magazine is quite daft.
And just because she is leaving the show doesn’t mean she cannot take an interview with them ! ❗

October 17th, 2012 - 2:54pmWell buy it then read it once they have finished broadcasting.
oscarwho
October 16th, 2012 - 9:48amcant wait to read this on thursday and i love the cover
Cyberking281
October 16th, 2012 - 7:42amVery nice cover, shame its karen gillan’s final interview
Esterath
October 15th, 2012 - 9:18pmBTW, I just bought the Dr Who Annual 1977, Death To The Daleks book and The Making of Doctor Who all for £10 today!!
McGann is the Doctor
October 16th, 2012 - 12:57pmI got the 1985 annual for christmas a year or two back, it was brilliant, great stories.
Also got loads of Doctor Who magazines from the 1980s/90s. 😉
timelord3
October 16th, 2012 - 5:49pmI got the 1978 annual about a week ago!
DrAmyRoryRiverBANG
October 15th, 2012 - 8:54pmthe anoying thing is, they dont really include arthur darvill, when they should!
myles
October 15th, 2012 - 8:37pmi want amy and rory back!!!!!!!!!! :[ :[ :[ :[
videogamemad00
October 15th, 2012 - 10:33pmI don’t. They were great commpainions to start off but then I just got bored of them.
oscarwho
October 16th, 2012 - 9:48amme too
The TARDIS
October 16th, 2012 - 5:06pmI miss both of them, but things change. It’s been such a long time since The Eleventh Hour, so we’ve grown up with them. The inevitability is people will either be bored of them or not accept that they’ve left! I’m a bit of both – they could have had a few more adventures.
myles
October 15th, 2012 - 8:33pmis dvd out yet
Anonymous
October 15th, 2012 - 6:08pmall shall be revealed
stike
October 15th, 2012 - 6:05pmthere are loads of mistakes with amy and rory departure like, the doctor could have used the vortex manipulator to see them as river did, he could of visited them a few years after they were zapped back in time
The TARDIS
October 15th, 2012 - 6:41pmNo, the TARDIS can never return ot New York as it has been practically torn to pieces by the paradox and would blow it up, and presumably a vortex manipulator would have precisely the same effect.
Dalek Prime Minister
October 15th, 2012 - 6:47pmBut river has to have visited Amy to give her the book to write, and Amy could move to England so the doctor can visit her!
The TARDIS
October 15th, 2012 - 6:51pmAmy could have visited River? Anyway, River sends to book to Amy to get it published, they don’t need to meet. And Amy could go to England, but then their gravestone would never have been produced, creating another paradox??? Not entirely sure, clutching at straws here, but it makes sense. Sort of.
Anonymous
October 17th, 2012 - 2:55pmThere’s nothing stopping the Doctor visiting them, he just can’t travel with them again.
So like with any other companion he let’s them go because he can’t bear to watch them grow old.
McGann is the Doctor
October 15th, 2012 - 5:56pmAndrew Cartmel reviews Vengeane on Varos ?
WAT ?!
That is awesome and surprising at the same time, why would a writer of the show be allowed to review an episode ?! ❓
dr who 1999
October 15th, 2012 - 5:26pmi think this is the issue that reveals the first 3 DVD releases and the other 3 special editions next year
James
October 16th, 2012 - 5:45amI hope your right l can’t wait to know what the Special Edition dvd’s are
Anonymous
October 16th, 2012 - 7:48amoh yeah the first release of next year is the legacy box set including shada and more than thirty years in the tardis
KRYNOIDY
October 15th, 2012 - 5:21pmArthur Darvill should be on this too!
gary
October 15th, 2012 - 5:17pmBit of a silly slogan – Her Final Interview – as in say 20 years time, she could be involved in some sort of interview for nostalgia sake like they do sometimes or they may interview her if she does an autobiography in 20 years time. So it prevents that if they want to do it.
McGann is the Doctor
October 15th, 2012 - 5:54pmI know, her final interview.
Not only is it not her final interview, it most certainly is not her final interview with DWM ! 😛
The TARDIS
October 15th, 2012 - 4:32pmGrrr… the thing about RTD was in the SJA special released earlier in the year! We don’t need to hear about it (and get REALLY angry about it) again! I do understand why they don’t want a good script to go to waste, but Doctor Who fans don’t want to watch Wizards vs Aliens just to watch a story that they can’t read about in full.
Mr Evil Fez
October 15th, 2012 - 4:05pmSounds like a cool issue, but why no Mary Tamm on the cover!?
Anonymous
October 15th, 2012 - 4:20pmplus it ain’t her final interview
Anonymous
October 15th, 2012 - 3:59pmI hope they can wipe this cover off and change it to Mary Tam. Even if it is the final interview it probable y isn’t her final one 👿
bryan simcott
October 15th, 2012 - 3:25pmSuch a shame MARY TAMM didnt get a tribute cover issue like Elizabeth and Nicholas did.
Another Interview with karen Gillan. She must have done more interviews than any other assistant ever
The TARDIS
October 15th, 2012 - 4:29pmCaroline John didn’t get a tribute cover. Her tribute probably won’t be as in depth as Elisabeth and Nicholas’ were, so the interview will take centre stage.
Moxx of Who
October 15th, 2012 - 3:17pmGreat cover. Good to remember Amy and Karen. Is this out on the 18th?

October 15th, 2012 - 2:35pmNice cover image of Karen Gillian, but it should include Arther Darvill too.

October 15th, 2012 - 1:53pmI loved Karen playing the amazing Amelia Pond, I’m so sad that she’s gone!!! 🙁

October 15th, 2012 - 2:33pmMe too 🙁 . . . . but she was wonderful, and Rory too 🙂
