DWM Dates Change

Wednesday, 21 March 2007 - Reported by Kenny Davidson

Due to the changing launch date of the new series of Doctor Who on BBC One, issue 381 of Doctor Who Magazine, containing an extensive feature on the making of Smith and Jones, will now be published one week later than previously advertised, on Thursday 5th April.

The next DWM Special Edition, In Their Own Words Volume 3: 1977-1981 has also moved its publication date, to Thursday 19 April.

Tennant says: "Each script that comes in just seems to be bigger than the last - that's what has kept it so exciting. The scale is bigger, the locations are more extraordinary."

Agyeman tells of the pressure of the show, saying: "I've been filming since August and it's crazy. Every time I think I've got it under control, something else comes up - so I'm not taking anything for granted!"

And Collinson talks of the pressure of thinking up new monsters. "This year there's probably a bigger selection - we've gone a bit more monster-y," he says.

The Doctor Who special edition of The Weakest Link is one of the RT Choices for March 30, while the "Next week in RT" strap at the back of the listings magazine carries a picture of Tennant and Agyeman and trumpets the publication's 14-page preview of the new series that will be included.

The Radio Times covering the first episode of Series Three, ie, issue dated 31 March to 6 April, should reveal the titles of episodes three, five and 13 - the last remaining unknown ones.
