So that's alright then!Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

Anybody else get their new DWM today ? @ the cover.
And, although it looks every inch like it, the thing in the comic strip wasn't the Event Synthesiser (although it looks close enough that Dave Gibbons should sue)Bazinga !

So what upset you about the cover Jon? I was assuming it was a big spoiler or something?

Not enough exclamation marks, obviously! Unless they're all in black ink...

No, just a bit of a FFS at the 'brilliance' of sticking a big crack on a black cover in a 'just out of art college' kind of way - why not use the very acceptable picture on the poster instead ?

It's odd that the poster is a Bracewell Dalek rather than the new Skittles variety. Do we think it's to avoid harming sales of the offical new Dalek poster you can buy?

Is this months Production Notes the most self indulgent, sycophantic waste of space in the magazines history? Half a page of someone desperately making up words to cover a missing column, before two actors are randomly asked to describe why they love the Producer so much. FFS, it's not like Doctor Who fandom isn't awash with uncommissioned creative writers. If the producer is too busy to write the column, don't run it!
The Gareth Roberts interview turns nasty towards the end. Where's he living, 1995? Every one in the country (and thus everyone who buys his plays and books) uses the Internet, so we can all be personally horrified at his assertion that "if we all died even our Mothers wouldn't notice". Grow up, and if you can't take criticism, don't be a mainstream TV writer.
I don't believe for a second that the Meglos thing wasn't knocked up for a wheeze in DWM either.

Thirteen exclamation marks. Unlucky for some.
I presume that because I'm not terribly excited by this issue it means I'm jaded?Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

I'm feeling like that too. There's very little I actually read in it anymore. Maybe its just oversaturation perhaps and that if I have a break I might get excited about buying it again.

I've not been thrilled by recent issues. I think it's because it's inevitably going through lots of behind the scenes articles which are all much a muchness. I miss the Time Team. Isn't it time they did the 2005 series or is it too recent to say anything negative?

DWM basically needs to provide things that people want but that they can't get elsewhere. Scoops! Stuff that 'The Writers Tale' was crammed with. Imagine if that had been seralised in DWM rather than published seperately?
What if they commissioned the writers of the show to do short stories/preludes based on their episodes (i.e. what happened next for the couple in The Lodger, a bit more back story for the Silurians, Bracewell unveiling his Ironsides to Churchill etc)?
Instead of devoting two pages of Graham Kibble-White to each new episode, why not print more of the fans' letters? At least they'd have an opinion.Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

Nice photo though. Although it would have been even better if they'd had one of the pictures where Karen Gillan's wearing the top hat.

Somehow I feel that sentence should end with, "And not much else"...

"There's a lot of me in Adric..."
The mind boggles. I can't believe that Matthew Waterhouse 'breaking his silence' is in any way newsworthy. Unless he's admitted an affair with:
a) Peter Davision
b) Janet Fielding
c) Eric Saward
d) JNT
e) Sarah Sutton
f) the editor of DWM
g) K9

He breaks his silence just as his autobiography comes out. What are the chances of that happening?
Dennis, Francois, Melba and Smasher are competing to see who can wine and dine Lola Whitecastle and win the contract to write her memoirs. Can Dennis learn how to be charming? Can Francois concentrate on anything else when food is on the table? Will Smasher keep his temper under control?
If only the 28th century didn't keep popping up to get in Dennis's way...

No, just one more issue and then we'll get a short run * of a magazine that suddenly remembers that some DW exists from before Series 5 (or even Series 1 !)
* Only until the Christmas special rears its unwelcome head thoughBazinga !

Actually I've been really enjoying it recently... except the reviews of the new episodes. They should be there, of course, but too often they're in the form of a blow-by-blow recount of the episode, and they're too long.
