The brand new issue of Doctor Who Magazine celebrates the recent discovery of the missing Classic Series stories!

Back in December, two episodes, starring William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton as the First/Second Doctors, were found after they were thought to have been lost forever.

Inside the issue, it is revealed how the Daleks exterminated part of Doctor Who’s history, as the magazine goes on the trail of the lost adventures.

The cover also teases some Series 7 news, as filming for it is set to begin this month!

Doctor Who Magazine #444 will be on sale tomorrow from Thursday 9th February 2012.

Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred have been talking about the possibility of returning to Doctor Who as part of its 50th anniversary next year.

In an interview with Shadowlocked, the Seventh Doctor actor revealed: “I keep meeting fans all over the world, and all they want for the 50th anniversary is for all the Doctors to come together. Someone suggested that they should get all the old Doctor Who actors to play other characters, and I think that would be huge fun.”

Meanwhile, Aldred – who appeared alongside him as his companion, Ace – admitted that she’s “waiting for a call”. “I’d drop everything,” she said. “She’d soon be back to bashing up Daleks with a baseball bat! Although, I did find out that Russell T Davies had planned for Ace to be in The Sarah Jane Adventures. But yes, I would love to. You never know.”

Steven Moffat has said that “there will never be a better time” for fans than 2013.

The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine will go on sale next week, and this month we have got not one but two covers to choose from!

In the magazine, writer Robert Banks Stewart looks back on his Classic Series serials Terror of the Zygons (1975) and The Seeds of Doom (1976), and you can pick the cover of your favourite! Which will you be grabbing?

DWM #443 is released on 12th January, priced £4.50.

It’s been announced that two missing Doctor Who episodes from the Classic Series have been recovered!

The third episode of Galaxy 4, starring William Hartnell as the First Doctor, and Episode 2 of The Underwater Menace, with Second Doctor Patrick Troughton, were considered to be lost forever. Terry Burnett, a former TV engineer, however, had purchased them from a a school fete in the 1980s, and was, until recently, unaware that all the footage on the tapes was in fact missing from the BBC archive.

The episodes were screened at the BFI in London over the weekend, where Mark Gatiss noted: “Christmas has come early for Doctor Who fans everywhere. It’s wonderful when a missing episode turns up, but it’s been years since the last so to have two is brilliant.”

See episode clips here! Plans for their commercial releases will be revealed next year.

Please join us as we send out our best birthday wishes to Paul McGann!

The actor, who stepped into the Doctor’s shoes in 1996 for the TV movie, turns 52 today, and we hope he has a great day!

Peter Davison has revealed that he would be “very surprised” if Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary was marked with a multi-Doctor special.

“I don’t feel like it’s the kind of thing they’d do,” he told BANG Showbiz recently. “I would be very surprised if they tried to do anything involving the old Doctors, because it always takes a slight stretch of the imagination anyway to figure out why the previous Doctors look older. But I’m sure that can be done, and I feel no need to turn my back on it.”

Steven Moffat has promised that the plans for the landmark year are “quite extensive”.

With filming for the Christmas special underway in Cardiff, the cast and crew aren’t the only ones getting festive, as we take a look at the latest merchandise that’ll no doubt be on wish lists up and down the land come December!

Matt Smith has revealed that he would “love” to see a multi-Doctor episode for the 50th anniversary in 2013.

Speaking to Newsarama.com, the actor explained: “There hasn’t been any official talk about it. That’s still over a year away. But I’d love for it to happen. How amazing would it be to see Tom Baker?! Can you imagine just seeing him back in the scarf, man? And Paul McGann is a great actor. I say bring back Chris and Dave, too! How many Doctors can we get into one story?!”

He added: “Imagine if there were 5 or 6 of us and we all look at and judge each other.”

Seventh Doctor Sylvester McCoy has previously said that he would be “delighted” to be involved in one, while David Tennant recently said that a return isn’t “impossible”.
