Bigger on the Inside

It landed on my mat today. The twentieth Doctor Who Magazine Special Edition came wrapped in its slightly torn brown wrapper. I like to think that the wrapper was torn not because of the long trip from Leicestershire to the Netherlands but because its contents were bursting to get out. 148 pages of features on the whole of series four of Doctor Who.

If DWM is to be believed (and why not) the season started during Children in Need with “Time Crash” and stretched though Christmas and ending in July with the wonderful “Journey’s End”. Now what a series that would have been if there weren’t those pesky breaks in between the first three episodes. The magazine features in-depth articles on each superb episode (and the one with the Adipose) of arguably the the most successful series of Doctor Who it its 45 year history.

Tom Spilsbury, Editor of DWM is excited, he says:

DWM has been given exclusive access to all the scripts and shooting schedules, to tell you what was shot when and where, what was left on the cutting-room floor and why, and even the truth behind a few of those rumours that hit the tabloids!

Packed with anecdotes and comments from the men and women who make the programme, script extracts, deleted scenes, and a full list of cast, crew, transmission times and ratings, with hundreds of beautiful and previously unseen photographs, this is the ultimate guide to Doctor Who 2008.

The Series Four Companion is available from shops (in the UK natch) on Thursday 14th August. Hey! That’s tomorrow, have you ordered your copy? What else have you go to do until Christmas?
