celebrate-the-tv-movie-in-dwm-497

This week welcomes the release of a brand new Doctor Who Magazine and this one promises to take us on a journey back to 1996 to mark the emerald anniversary of the TV Movie.

It’s almost been 20 years since Paul McGann appeared on our screens as the Eighth Doctor, with his feature-length debut adventure premiering on Canadian TV on 12th May 1996. Inside Issue #497, the man himself – Paul McGann – reflects on his inaugural TARDIS journey, which turned out to be his first and only official adventure at its helm as plans for a full series were shelved shortly afterwards.

The movie’s co-stars, Daphne Ashbrook, Eric Roberts and Yee Jee Tso, are also on hand to share their respective memories, and you can take a look at its celebratory cover below. It goes on sale this Thursday, 3rd March, at the usual price of £4.99. Miss it and miss out!

tenth-doctor-donna-audio-covers-revealed

Big Finish have revealed the covers for their highly anticipated Tenth Doctor audio adventures.

Last October it was confirmed that one of the show’s most popular duos – David Tennant and Catherine Tate – would be reprising their respective roles as the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble for three new original audio adventures, which will each be released to buy and download this May. To raise anticipation (which, admittedly, is already through the roof), you can now check out the artwork for each of them below. What do you think?

‘Technophobia’ by Matt Fitton

When the Doctor and Donna visit London’s Technology Museum for a glimpse into the future, things don’t go to plan.

The most brilliant IT brain in the country can’t use her computer. More worrying, the exhibits are attacking the visitors, while outside, people seem to be losing control of the technology that runs their lives.

Is it all down to simple human stupidity, or is something more sinister going on?

Beneath the streets, the Koggnossenti are waiting. For all of London to fall prey to technophobia…

‘Time Reaver’ by Jenny T. Colgan

Calibris. The spaceport planet where anything goes. Where anyone who doesn’t want to be found can be lost, and where everything has its price. Where betentacled gangster Gully holds sway at the smugglers’ tavern, Vagabond’s Reach.

The alien Vacintians are trying to impose some order on the chaos. Soon the Doctor and Donna discover why. An illegal weapon is loose on the streets. A weapon that destroys lives… Slowly and agonisingly.

The Time Reaver.

‘Death and the Queen’ by James Goss

Donna Noble has never been lucky in love.

So when, one day, her Prince does come, she is thrilled to have the wedding of all weddings to look forward to. Though the Doctor isn’t holding his breath for an invitation. And her future mother-in-law is certainly not amused.

But on the big day itself, Donna finds her castle under siege from the darkest of forces, marching at the head of a skeleton army.

When it looks like even the Doctor can’t save the day, what will Queen Donna do to save her people from Death itself?

the-legends-of-river-song-novel-revealed

Her latest televisual adventure has just been released on DVD today (Monday) but fans of River Song will be pleased to hear that there’s still plenty more where that came from.

That’s because everybody’s favourite “kick ass hero” will be back once again as the star of her very own tie-in novel, set to be released this summer. Aptly titled The Legends of River Song, the book brings together a collection of her most explosive exploits, as documented in her TARDIS journal. Sometimes she’s with the Doctor. Sometimes she’s on her own. But she is never far from danger.

The novel includes original short stories written by an array of familiar Doctor Who authors including Jenny T. Colgan, Jacqueline Rayner, Steve Lyons, Guy Adams and Andrew Lane, and will be published on 2nd June 2016. Will you be adding it to your collection, sweetie?

Melody Pond, Melody Malone, River Song… She has had many names. Whoever she really is, this archaeologist and time traveller has had more adventures (and got into more trouble) than most people in the universe.

And she’s written a lot of it down. Well, when you’re married to a Time Lord (or possibly not), you have to keep track of what you did and when. Especially as it may not actually have happened to both of you yet.

These are just a few of River Song’s exploits, extracted from her journals. Sometimes, she is with the Doctor. Sometimes she’s on her own. But wherever and whenever she may be, she is never far from danger and excitement.

This is just a tiny portion of her impossible life. But it will reveal more than you’ve ever known about the legend that is River Song.
