Message From David
David has very kindly sent a message thanking you all for all your lovely birthday messages!
Dear All,
Now this is very very late so
you'll have to forgive me. I've been filming in Hungary, having a holiday in Scotland and generally running around like something
of a loon of late and your wonderful, extensive and completely fabulous birthday package has only just got to me.
Thank you all. I am totally overwhelmed
by all your amazing contributions. The drawings, the photographs and especially all the fantastic, charming and blush-making
messages, not to mention all the gifts too(my second Proclaimers autograph-you can never have too many- whoever got
that deserves a medal!) Some of your artwork is really incredible: my mum was particularly impressed.
I am really touched and rendered a bit speechless by all your
kindness and generosity. Thank you all so much. You make a rapidly ageing scotsman very happy.
much love, dt x

DWM 384
Derek Jacobi and John Simm speak exclusively in the new issue of Doctor Who Magazine about breathing new life into the
Doctor's old nemesis...
"I've tried to explain to my son that his dad is going to be, like, the epitome of evil," John Simm laughs, "but if I say,
'I have a fight with Doctor Who (sic),' and ask him who he wants to win, he'll say Doctor Who! It's one of those opportunities,
though, to impress your son in a massive way, and that was just too good to turn down.
"Julie Gardner was trying to find something for me to do in it, and I kept saying, 'Look, I'm not being painted blue!'
And then Julie and Russell T Davies said, 'What about the Master?' As soon as they said that, I was like,'You're kidding?
Oh yeah!' I got really excited about it, but I just had to sit on the news. I wanted to tell people, 'I'M GOING TO BE THE
MASTER!!!' But it was a secret. Hmft."
Russell T Davies is also on hand to tell the story of how he resurrected the Master ("Did you hear me say that I didn't
like the Master, and didn't want him back? Well, I was lying!") and DWM visits a haunted house to find out how Blink was brought
to our screens.
Meanwhile, there's a look at the darker side of the Doctor's nature, the mag goes all Smash Hits as they speak to top pop
group McFly (honestly!) and look back at Doctor Who's many celebrity cameos.

New Doctor and Martha Novels Announced
Amazon.co.uk have revealed the details of a further three Doctor and Martha novels to be released in December:
Peacemaker by James Swallow
The peace and quiet of a remote homestead in the 1880s
American West is shattered by the arrival of two shadowy outriders searching for 'the healer'. When the farmer refuses to
help them, they raze the house to the ground using guns that shoot bolts of energy instead of bullets... In the town of Redwater,
the Doctor and Martha learn of a snake-oil salesman who's patent medicines actually cure his patient. But when the Doctor
and Martha investigate they discover the truth is stranger, and far more dangerous. Caught between the law of the gun and
the deadly plans of intergalactic mercenaries, the Doctor and Martha are about to discover just how wild the West can become...
This title features the Doctor and Martha as played by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the hit series from BBC Television.
The
Pirate Loop by Simon Guerrier
The Doctor's been everywhere and everywhen in the whole of the universe and seems
to know all the answers. But ask him what happened to the Starship Brilliant and he hasn't the first idea. Did it fall into
a sun or black hole? Was it shot down in the first moments of the galactic war? And what's this about a secret experimental
drive? The Doctor is skittish. But if Martha is so keen to find out he'll land the TARDIS on the Brilliant, a few days before
it vanishes. Then they can see for themselves... Soon the Doctor learns the awful truth. And Martha learns that you need to
be careful what you wish for. She certainly wasn't hoping for mayhem, death, and badger-faced space pirates. This title features
the Doctor and Martha as played by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the hit series from BBC Television.
Wishing
Well by Trevor Baxendale
The old village well is just a curiosity - something to attract tourists intrigued by
stories of lost treasure, or visitors just making a wish. Unless something alien and terrifying could be lurking inside the
well. Something utterly monstrous that causes nothing but death and destruction. But who knows the real truth about the well?
Who wishes to unleash the hideous force it contains? What terrible consequences will follow the search for a legendary treasure
hidden at the bottom? No one wants to believe the Doctor's warnings about the deadly horror lying in wait - but soon they'll
wish they had... This title features the Doctor and Martha as played by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the hit series
from BBC Television.

Doctor Who Finale To Be Aired At London Pride
The Doctor Who end of series finale, Last Of The Time Lords, will be aired on a big screen in Trafalgar Square in London at
7.10pm on Saturday 30th June.
The move will ensure that thousands of the shows gay fans won't miss the gripping ending while they are attending Pride
London in the capital.
If you're a Doctor Who fan, Pride London presents a problem- how to catch the finale when you're likely to be rolling
'round the gutter wrapped in a rainbow flag, singing 'I Will Suvive'.
The Pride London team and the Doctor Who producers
have solved this dilemma by announcing that the last gripping episode in the current series will be shown on the big daylight
screen in Trafalgar Square at 7.10pm on Pride Day, Saturday 30 June.
“We are particularly proud of this spectacular
and defiantly not- to -be -missed episode,” said producer Phil Collinson today.
“Both Russell T Davies and
I think its a brilliant idea to ensure that Pride festival goers can see the programme right in the heart of London, in Trafalgar
Square on Pride Day.”
The Episode, entitled “Last of The Time Lords,” will be discussed by Doctor Who
and Torchwood actor and West End Star, John Barrowman earlier during the day. John’s character, Captain Jack Harkness,
appears in the final three episodes of the current series. Freema Agyeman,
Doctor Who’s current companion Martha Jones, will also be attending.
“We hit on the idea of screening Doctor
Who at the end of our main stage show in response to demand” said Pride Chief Executive Jason Pollock.
“Doctor
Who is probably the most gay friendly show on our screens and many people were anxious not to miss the last programme –
now everyone can celebrate Pride and Doctor Who at the same time!”
The Pride London Main Stage is hosted by Graham
Norton, John Barrowman, Amy Lamé, Gaydar Radio’s Jamie Crick and Lucio from Capital Radio. Confirmed artists include
Darren Hayes, Unklejam, The Axe Girls, Kelly and the Kelly Girls and many more. From London’s West End the show will

Parade from Oxford Street and finishes with the Doctor Who screening at 7.10. The bars will remain open throughout the day.

we're a good combination.'

New Doctor Who Audio Books
BBC Audiobooks are set to publish audio version of the three most recent Doctor Who novels - The Last Dodo, Wooden Heart
and Sting of the Zygons - on 02 July 2007. Each of the audiobooks is read by a member of the Jones family from Series Three
of Doctor Who. You can pre order the CDs in our shop now.
The Last Dodo:
Civilisations rise and fall, time moves on – and species die out. Extinction is a fact of life in the universe.
But extinction doesn't have to be forever. The TARDIS arrives in the Museum of the Last Ones – a facility dedicated
to preserving the final specimens of every species in the universe. But all is not well, and before long the Doctor and Martha
are in deep trouble.
How will Martha react to the stasis cabinets and preservation techniques? What will happen if –
and when – the stasis fields break down and the specimens escape? And how will the Curator of the Museum react to the
arrival of the last surviving Time Lord?
Abridged reading by Freema Agyeman (Martha Jones). Written by Jacqueline Rayner.
Wooden Heart:
The Castor, a vast starship, seemingly deserted, spinning slowly in the void of deep space. Martha and the Doctor explore
the drifting tomb, and discover that they may not be alone after all... Who survived the disaster that overcame the rest of
the crew? What continues to power the vessel? And why has a stretch of wooded countryside suddenly appeared in the middle
of the craft? As the Doctor and Martha journey through the forest, they find a mysterious, fogbound village - a village traumatised
by missing children and tales of its own destructionå
Read by Adjoa Andoh (who plays Francine Jones in the TV series).
Written by Martin Day.
Sting of the Zygons:
The TARDIS lands the Doctor and Martha in the Lake District in 1909, where a small village has been terrorised by a giant,
scaly monster. The search is on for the elusive 'Beast of Westmorland', and explorers, naturalists and hunters from across
the country are descending on the fells. King Edward VII himself is on his way to join the search, with a knighthood for whoever
finds the Beast. But there is a more sinister presence at work in the Lakes than a mere monster on the rampage, and the Doctor
is soon embroiled in the plans of an old and terrifying enemy. And as the hunters become the hunted, a desperate battle of
wits begins - with the future of the entire world at stake...
Abridged reading by Reggie Yates (Leo Jones in the TV series).
Written by Stephen Cole.

for me!" nine-year-old John Bell reveals in the latest issue of the magazine. "So he nicknamed me Little John.
"David Tennant and I are both Scottish and John Barrowman was born in Scotland, so it was a bit of a Scottish invasion!
John kept slipping into a Scottish accent and would ask if I'd like a 'Wee cup of tea?'"

Blink
Doctor Who returns this Saturday at 7:10pm with what is rumoured to be the scariest episode to date!
When we spoke to David he told us a bit about the episode:
"Episode Ten by Stephen Moffatt has some very creepy monsters in it! You get to know them by their legendary name I think.
They are very creepy though.
Episode Ten is a bit like Love & Monsters because we aren't in it that much,
although I think I am in it more than I was in Love & Monsters because of the way Stephen has written it."
In an old, abandoned house, the Weeping Angels wait, as Russell T Davies' Doctor Who continues.
However, when people start disappearing, a young woman called Sally finds cryptic messages bleeding through from 1969 –
messages from a mysterious stranger called the Doctor. But can she decipher them before the Angels claim their prize?
David Tennant plays the Doctor and Freema Agyeman plays his companion, Martha Jones. Carey
Mulligan guest stars.

Doctor Who Series Four Writers Revealed
The writing team about to embark on the fourth series of Doctor Who have been announced.
Heading the list is, of course, Russell T Davies. He'll be tackling the 2007 Christmas Special and another four episodes.
Steven Moffat will become the only other writer to work on all four seasons of the show when he delivers a two-part story
- his first since The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances.
Also back for a double-bill is Helen Raynor, responsible for this year's Daleks In Manhattan / Evolution Of The Daleks.
Gareth Roberts (The Shakespeare code) Tom MacRae (Rise Of The Cybermen / The Age Of Steel) and Stephen Greenhorn (The Lazarus
Experiment) all return for single episodes.
The season also boasts two newcomers - James Moran and Keith Temple.
Moran has written an episode of Torchwood's next series, and co-wrote the screenplay for the film Severance. Temple has
worked on such shows as Children's Ward and Byker Grove.
Series Four of Doctor Who starts filming soon.
