Bigger on the Inside

This week the new issue of DWM will drop through my door. The cover and details are below.

In the new issue, actress Sarah Lancashire speaks exclusively about playing the villain in Partners in Crime, the mysterious Miss Foster…

“Miss Foster is, essentially, a nanny, a guardian, to some rather unusual children,” explains Sarah. “I see her as a slightly warped Mary Poppins. She’s quite austere. She’s a strong woman. When I first read the script, I thought, oh, well, of course she’s a baddie… but the more I read it, I thought, no, she’s doing what she’s doing for legitimate reasons… You can’t blame her at all. Hers is perfectly reasonable behaviour…”

To say that I am pretty excited about the new series of Doctor Who is something of an understatement. This Saturday at 6.20pm UK time the programme returns to our TV screens, at those of us that receive BBC One. I will be reviewing each episode on this site in the days following each transmission.
