Matt Smith’s Farewell Radio Times Cover
Radio Times Matt Smith’s Farewell Cover
Daleks, Matt Smith’s farewell and interactive Doctor Who content in the new issue of Radio Times Magazine
Unlock an exclusive message from Matt Smith and behind-the-scenes footage of our Doctor Who shoot
It’s mere weeks until Matt Smith bids a fond farewell to Doctor Who but we couldn’t let him go without one final hurrah – and a Radio Times cover, of course. This week’s magazine marks Matt’s 13th appearance on the cover as the Doctor, matching the record held by his predecessor, David Tennant. And just in time for the arrival of the 13th Doctor. Neat, eh? And there are plenty more Doctor Who treats in store this week. For those of you who enjoyed our exclusive message from Matt Smith to celebrate the Doctor’s 50th birthday, we’ve got another from the doors of the Tardis plus a sneak peek behind the scenes on our cover shoot.
Download the Blippar app and point your phone at the magazine to unlock all the exclusive content, including a gallery of all 13 of Matt Smith’s Radio Times Doctor Who covers and a complete episode guide to all the 11th Doctor’s adventures
As if that wasn’t enough, we’ve got Matt Smith’s final interview reflecting on his last days as the Time Lord and revealing his Hollywood hipster ambitions. One man who predicts a long and successful career for Smith is Steven Moffat who praises his lead Doctor Who actor – along with his Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch – for their wise career choices.
For more info and to see a preview of the cover visit RadioTimes.com
With Christmas approaching the on-sale date of this issue has been brought forward to tomorrow, Saturday 30 November 2013

November 30th, 2013 - 7:26pmHopefully they will ditch the power ranger teletubbie daleks and do the slightly better but still not great bronze ones. (To hope for the classic daleks would be too much!!)

November 30th, 2013 - 2:01pmBit of a dull cover for such an important episode. I would have preferred the bbc’s official promotional image as the cover, much more exciting. I will be sad to see matt leave but am really looking forward to seeing peter capaldi take over.

November 30th, 2013 - 1:16pmHooray for shiny Daleks! I hope we’ll see the Eternal and Scientist as well!

November 29th, 2013 - 11:30pmGoodbye Matt Smith. You were THE Doctor. Also, I hope we see the New Paradigm Daleks in action in The Time of the Doctor.

November 30th, 2013 - 8:05amIs that the name of the Chrimbo Special?

November 30th, 2013 - 12:49pmI don’t have a great hate for them, I just prefer the 2005 bronze daleks. 😀
alex
November 30th, 2013 - 12:57pmDid nobody understand Tom Bakers message? At the end of day of the doctor he said maybe you are me or maybe i am you or perhaps it dose not matter either way. He said to matt. Typing on phone sorry.
booboo
November 30th, 2013 - 3:34pmcovering all options and leaving it the imagination basically
It really suggested he was a future version of the Doctor who looked like the 4th Doctor
the astronaut of death
November 30th, 2013 - 3:37pmI think Steven could have made tom baker return in a different way an easier way to understand
agent1320
November 30th, 2013 - 5:08pmI hate the power ranger daleks…….. I hope they go back to the bronze daleks for the Christmas special.
Madmanwithabox
November 30th, 2013 - 6:40pmI absolutely hate the bronze daleks – they are extremely overused. Much prefer the paradigm daleks
A New Dalek Paradigm
November 30th, 2013 - 8:54pmI’d love to see the Paradigm used as the main Daleks in Time of the Doctor but I fear if they are included they’ll probably be kept in the back ground like they were in Asylum with the god awful RTD Daleks taking centre stage once again. Still, at least we got to see some of the Paradigm in The Five(ish) Doctors.
Pug Drone dalek
November 30th, 2013 - 11:27pmThe rtd daleks r 8 years old now its time for the new daleks to take ther rightful place as the DALEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dalek the Supreme
December 1st, 2013 - 4:59pmThe Paradigm Daleks are still Daleks, and still underused. We still don’t know what the weapon in their rear hatch is, and we to this day have no idea what the Eternal Dalek does. I’d like to see these mysteries shown, and with the big battle we should expect to see in this year’s Christmas special, it would be the perfect opportunity to solve these mysteries, and show the New Paradigm in proper action for the first time since their debut season.
A New Dalek Paradigm
December 1st, 2013 - 7:40pmWell said but since the back lash against them the production team have been running scared so unfortunately I doubt we’ll see the Paradigm do any of the things they’d originally been designed to do. I’ll happily be proved wrong though.
Dalek the Supreme
December 5th, 2013 - 6:19pmIronic how some fans (Not all) of a show that’s about change will shun and reject new changes and ideas.
DalekSte
November 29th, 2013 - 11:29pmWait, Is Capaldi the 12th or 13th? What I mean is will he be known as the 12th even though he is technically the 13th?
Obsie
November 30th, 2013 - 7:24amI have given up trying to work that one out. Taking into consideration The Watcher, The Valeyard and John Hurt I’ve decided that whichever one he is I’m just glad that he’s still around. It also shows that the BBC is still committed to the programme by giving it the Christmas cover. The Doctor is dead, long live The Doctor!

10. David Tennant
11. Matt Smith
12. Peter Capaldi
So capaldi is the 12th doctor but his 13th body!
Obsie
November 30th, 2013 - 9:03am“As long as he does the job, he can wear what face he likes”.
TomWho
November 30th, 2013 - 9:42amAt the end of ‘the day of the Doctor’ we find out that they would forget what happened that day so they would still try and forget about the John Hurt Doctor so I think Capaldi will be 12th but it will be the Doctor’s 13th body
Anonymous
November 30th, 2013 - 11:54amIn an interview Moffat said “Including the Metacrisis and Hurt, he’s used up all his regenerations”. So its 13th Regeneration 13th Body
RoryDarvillPond
November 29th, 2013 - 11:21pmBye Matt!!
Sebatron
November 29th, 2013 - 10:51pmGoodbye Matt!
Peter Capaldi has a lot to live up to!
glasgo
November 30th, 2013 - 1:09pmno he doesn’t. Capaldi will be better than Smith within about five minutes.
agent1320
November 30th, 2013 - 5:10pmand obviously your name gives away no obvious bias towards Capaldi 🙂
videogamemad00
November 30th, 2013 - 5:14pmCapaldi was better in 2 seconds than Matt was in 3 years.
Dalek the Supreme
December 5th, 2013 - 6:20pmMatt Smith impressed me within the first seconds of the 11th Doctor, and by Victory of the Daleks he was my favorite.
Inge Seuntjens
January 17th, 2017 - 7:51pmMatt is my favorite doctor followed by david . Wish Matt would come back
DrWhoTwins
November 29th, 2013 - 9:42pmCool cover! Really going to miss you Matt.

November 29th, 2013 - 9:32pmGoodbye Matt don’t forget about about us to soon
Booboo Jr
November 29th, 2013 - 9:12pmI like it!
Hopefully the Paradigm Daleks will be in the Christmas Special. For the ‘current’ Daleks, they seen to have been pushed to one side in favour of the Time War Daleks.
ABrooker
November 29th, 2013 - 10:33pmThat was on purpose, seeing as they didn’t prove very popular. There’s talk of another Dalek civil war between the new paradigm Daleks and the Bronze Daleks behind the scenes. (much like in the DW experience with the Daleks firing at one another)
Defender of Trenzalore
November 30th, 2013 - 6:25pmHopefully we’ll see this war at some point
Maybe Davros could return to lead one faction?
Either way it would be great!

November 29th, 2013 - 9:06pmNice to see the new daleks, maybe they’ll make an appearance in the special!

Dalek the Supreme
November 29th, 2013 - 11:29pmI really hope so…I also hope we see them actually exterminating people. They really haven’t been used to their fullest.
Dark Lord
November 30th, 2013 - 12:26amThey look so much better, with their revised metallic colour scheme.
TheWhomobile
November 29th, 2013 - 8:56pmGreat cover but slightly annoying they said the 13th Doctor will be arriving instead of 12th:/
Shaun
November 29th, 2013 - 10:20pmWhat about John Hurt??? He’s now counted, isn’t he?
iamthefezzer123
November 29th, 2013 - 10:43pmdavid tennant regenerated twice….in the stolen earth…his hand absorbed it but it does actually count as a regeneration 😀 hope this helps with the confusion
TheBritishCupOfTea
November 29th, 2013 - 11:03pmPeter Capaldi is the 13th Doctor, but the 14th incarnation since Tennant regenerated twice.
That’s if you count John Hurt as the 9th Doctor.
But he’s officially titled “The War Doctor”, So Peter Capaldi is the 12th Doctor.
12th Doctor or 13th Doctor, 14th incarnation.
Blimey.
TheWhomobile
November 30th, 2013 - 7:57amI understand all the regenerations but I don’t want them to change the numbering. Hurt didn’t take the Doctor’s name so he doesn’t count and 10 used two regenerations but only counts for one Doctor so he will be the 12th. As much as I liked the special I wish Moffat had left this alone.

November 29th, 2013 - 8:45pmI’m going to be the only one to say this but…great to see some paradigm daleks. Obviously the bronze ones are great, long may they last, but I really liked the new design. I know- I can feel the wrath of a million before I even send this comment!
Dalek the Supreme
November 29th, 2013 - 11:30pmYou get only respect and agreement from me. Respect for having the courage to admit liking them, and agreement because I like them too.

November 30th, 2013 - 7:38amSorry, I didn’t mean you. I meant Omega, the creator of the quarry blobby aliens, the ones with bad stomach problems.

November 29th, 2013 - 7:41pmBrilliant! I hope they do a limited edition book like with David Tennant’s radio times cover back in 2009.
