Michael Gambon talks of swapping his wizard's wand for a taste of the Doctor's time-travelling magic and Katherine Jenkins waxes lyrical about her acting debut. Plus interviews with Matt Smith, Michael Gambon, Katherine Jenkins and Steven Moffat.

Eden Court provides great opportunities for studying theatre, dance and film-making. I did a lot of my initial training with them, including my higher drama and completing my London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art certification.

I had my first real experience of acting with Eden Court and it was their knowledge and experience that encouraged me to pursue a career in the arts.

Karen’s appointment is great news for the theatre. It’s very good of her to become its ambassador.

For us, the education work is such a big part of what we do here, and I’m not sure everyone understands the breadth of it, so having Karen endorse it will help.

Although we're obviously very sad that the Doctor's Land's End adventure is coming to an end, we're going to be sending him off in style with a special Doctor Who party on January 3rd!

We're inviting everyone to come dressed as their favourite Doctor Who character and visit the exhibition for free. There will be free souvenirs for children and the Daleks will be out and about in the main square!

We're also offering free entry to children between December 26th and January 3rd, so don't miss your last chance to see the Doctor at Land's End!

2010 was a landmark year for Doctor Who. Matt Smith and Karen Gillan appeared on television as the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond for the first time, in a series of incredible adventures. From the Doctor’s crash landing in sleepy Leadworth, through to his arrival at Amy’s wedding in a rebooted universe, the last of the Time Lords faced many monsters during the course of his travels, including Weeping Angels, Silurians, Autons, Cybermen, Smilers, Venetian Vampires, Prisoner Zero… and, of course, the Daleks!

Now, Doctor Who Magazine takes you behind the scenes of the concluding episodes of the Eleventh Doctor’s first season with an in-depth episode guide – including original storylines, deleted scenes, media appearances, ratings information and thousands of facts about the day-to-day life of the making of Doctor Who – all illustrated with gorgeous, never-before-seen photographs. This collectors’ edition examines Amy’s Choice, The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood, Vincent and the Doctor, The Lodger and The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang, as well as the specially-made Meanwhile in the TARDIS scenes from the DVD box set.
