Missing your regular Doctor Who fix?
Then, help is at hand with the new Doctor Who Magazine!
This issue Freema Agyeman gives DWM the inside scoop on how Martha will have changed when she next meets up with the Doctor
in Series Four…
"She'll actually be in a relationship by that point, so that part of her soul is fulfilled," Freema hints, "so I think
she'll look at her relationship with the Doctor with fresh eyes - older and much, much wiser. The last time they will have
seen one another is after she's just saved the world, so she went out on a high. And then they meet up again so I imagine
that they'll be sizing each other up a bit!"
Also this issue, the mag goes behind the scenes on the Master’s death scenes - and travels back to his very first
appearance with a Fact of Fiction article on 1971’s Terror of the Autons. Plus, we take a trip to the year 100
Trillion
with Blue Peter winner John Bell, while the Doctor Who design team reveals the special effects secrets behind the Master trilogy

Doctor Who Weekend On UKTV Drama
Don't forget the Doctor Who weekend on UKTV Drama is this weekend. See
the diary for more details.
The Play's The Thing
Whilst browsing a London Theatre Guide we stumbled upon an alarming but very exciting sight! David has made it into
the title of a new play, NOT Stalking David Tennant by Emma Hutchins.
Four women. Four Stories. One Goal.
Helen - Successful - Independent -Lost. Jen - Gorgeous - Narcissistic - Deluded.
Isabel - Welcoming - Frustrated - Dangerous. Louise - Warm - Confused - Lonely.
Money, career, family, looks, love! You can’t have it all, can you?
NOT Stalking David Tennant is a one-woman show exploring the modern obsession with ‘having it all’ and how
it can lead us to taint the beauty of the things we do possess.
Find out more here.

Learners has been unveiled as part of the BBC's new autumn schedule, despite earlier indications that it would be transmitted
on the channel in August.
Bev (Jessica Hynes) is a downtrodden wife who’s failed her driving test eight times. Desperate to
pass, she feels frustrated by her husband Ian’s (Shaun Dingwall) approach in teaching her to drive. Inspired by glamorous
driving school owner Fiona (Sarah Hadland), Bev is determined to succeed along with a group of other learner drivers. Chris
(David Tennant), a devout Christian with the patience of a saint, is assigned as her instructor — and it’s not
long before Bev develops a crush on him, despite his geeky appearance.

David To Play Hamlet?
Rumours abound that David has been approached to play the part of Hamlet in a forthcoming production by the RSC.
The Daily Mail reported: "The plan being developed by RSC artistic chief Michael Boyd is for Mr Tennant
to play Hamlet in a production he wants to direct next summer. The exact timing will depend on whether the actor will do a
fourth batch of episodes as the Converse All Stars-sporting Doctor. Tennant has been offered several high-profile TV, film
and stage parts since his interpretation of Dr Who found so much favour with audiences and critics. Indeed, he recently completed
filming a TV movie for HBO called Einstein And Eddington opposite Andy Serkis and Rebecca Hall."
David himself told david-tennant.com that Hamlet is a role he is keen to play:
"Hamlet would be a role I would like, I think all actors want to play Hamlet."
We will bring your further news of this story as we get it.
