Kylie Minogue has teamed up with Skaro's finest for an exclusive Doctor Who Magazine photoshoot to promote their relaunch
issue.
Posing with one of Doctor Who's most enduring icons, Kylie told DWM, "I was in the presence of a legend! I've had to gracefully
accept second billing, though. Well, at least I'm younger! The Dalek was in great condition, and bigger than I expected. At
least I've met one now, as I didn't in the Christmas issue..."
Kylie also chatted about her role in the Doctor Who Christmas Special Voyage Of The Damned: "My first day on set was like
stepping back in time. I really felt at home being back in the world of TV. I've definitely got the acting bug again!"
Also in the bigger, new-look DWM, there's an exclusive preview of Voyage of the Damned; David Tennant is quizzed by readers;
Pompeii scriptwriter James Moran reveals what to expect in his new episode; Russell T Davies counts down to Christmas (and
reveals some episode titles!) in Production Notes and we discover Who on Earth is Bernard Cribbins.
There's also a double-sided giant poster featuring Kylie and a Dalek.

Doctor Who Adventures Christmas Edition
Click a pic to enlarge!
In the bumper Christmas issue of Doctor Who Adventures, David Tennant tells what is was like working with Kylie Minogue:
"It was fantastic! The very prospect of her coming got everyone very twittery. And then she arrived and was refreshingly normal
and lovely to have around. She became part of the gang." Tennant also talks about monsters in the Doctor Who Christmas episode,
Voyage of the Damned. "It wouldn't be Doctor Who on Christmas Day if there weren’t some kind of monsters to freak
you out! They don’t have a name but they are referred to as the Hosts."
Issue 45 is the biggest issue ever. The
special collector’s edition gives readers the choice of two different covers, choose between either David Tennant as
the Doctor or Kylie Minogue as Astrid. Inside there is an exclusive look at the Christmas episode and readers have a checklist
for Christmas Day. The magazine looks at the top five reasons everyone loves Doctor Who specials.
You can also make
terrifying Toclafane baubles and a Weeping Angel for the top of your Christmas tree while in "Tales from the TARDIS" Martha
leaves the Doctor and a ship crashes into the TARDIS. The comic strip is Part two of "A Klytode Christmas" and "Earth Attacks"
looks at some of the best alien invasions, while "Doctor's Data" is all about the Empress of the Racnoss and "Scares of the
Year" takes a look at readers' top frights.
The magazine includes four exclusive posters of "Voyage of the Damned",
the Doctor, the Daleks and the Master and includes the chance to win over £1000 of Doctor Who goodies. The magazine comes
with six gifts: a TARDIS key ring, a set of holographic stickers, a Weeping Angel and Dalek Sec Hybrid mask, a pencil and
Toclafane topper and a Doctor Who Adventures 2008 calendar. There’s also some news about Doctor Who Adventures in 2008.

TV Scoop's Television Top 50 of 2007
Recovery, starring David and Sarah Parish, has made it into the TV Scoop Television Top 50 of 2007 at a very respectable
No. 26. They say:
Occasionally, just occasionally, things slip under the TV Scoop net, and Recovery was one of them. But never fear, I
*did* watch it, and it was superb - but then with Sarah Parish and David Tennant involved, that's hardly a great surprise.
Tennant played Alan, a happy, healthy family man who essentially turned into someone else the day he stepped out in front
a car. It was heartbreaking to watch his family trying to love and look after a man who's brain injury means he has changed
so much. And yet it was funny too, and ultimately heart-warming as little, familiar glimpses of Alan came shining through.
The Doctor & Martha Make Their US Comic Book Debut
Click the pic to enlarge!
The legendary Doctor Who is back, with the first-ever stories created exclusively for the US market. The Doctor is the
last of the Time Lords, survivors of a Great Time War and, along with his loyal friend and companion Martha Jones from London,
they stop oppression, darkness and evil spreading throughout the galaxies. They’re also on the hunt for the best chocolate
milkshakes in the cosmos… and while they track that down, someone else has the Doctor in their sights. As the very last
Time Lord out there, he’s highly collectable, to the right people… this debut miniseries comes to you courtesy
of Doctor Who TV show story editor Gary Russell and artist Nick Roche (The Transformers). Roche and variant artist Joe Corroney
provide covers for each issue.
