INTERVIEWS
THE DOCTOR FOREVER
She was the universe… but now the Thirteenth Doctor’s travels are drawing to a close. On the eve of her epic final outing, JODIE WHITTAKER tells PAUL KIRKLEY why it’s been the trip of a lifetime – and why she’ll never really leave the role behind.
THE PARTING OF THE WAYS
After her era-spanning stint aboard the TARDIS, Yasmin Khan is about to take her final flight with the Doctor. It’s enough to melt even the coldest of ice-cold hearts, MANDIP GILL tells PAUL KIRKLEY
No Laughing Matter
In The Power of the Doctor, comedian JOHN BISHOP will return as Dan Lewis for the last time. He tells PAUL KIRKLEY that he leaves Doctor Who with a renewed respect for the series – and its fans.
Chris Chibnall
OUT OF THE TARDIS
FROM NORMAN TO HARTNELL
Costume designer COLIN LAVERS went from crafting medieval clobber on The King’s Demons to recreating William Hartnell’s look for a new actor on The Five Doctors – as he told MARK WYMAN in the final part of this 1995 interview, unpublished until now.
FEATURES
Rill Estate
The hideous Rills set up their temporary HQ on a doomed planet in 1965’s Galaxy 4 – with their Amazonian rivals, the deadly Drahvins, crash-landed nearby. SIMON GUERRIER and RHYS WILLIAMS explore a recreation of that landscape…

DOCTOR WHO
A BBC PRODUCTION
At Doctor Who Magazine we pride ourselves on
THE ROAD TO AN UNEARTHLY CHILD
1922 18 October The original British Broadcasting Company
THE 1960s
Doctor Who was just one product of the BBC’s bid for increased relevance in a fast-moving decade.
SYDNEY NEWMAN
The Canadian producer who revitalised BBC drama in the early 1960s also played a key role in creating Doctor Who.
TO EDUCATE AND ENTERTAIN
Doctor Who is inextricably associated with the BBC, and its values. But what are those values, and where do we see them in the programme?
THE 1970s
A 60-YEAR JOURNEY
STAGE MANAGEMENT
Television Centre, where numerous episodes of Doctor Who were recorded, remains one of the most familiar BBC buildings – but it was only one of Doctor Who’s many homes.
THE 1980s
Business was booming for Doctor Who in the 1980s – with its 20th anniversary ushering in a new era of video sales, official conventions and even computer games.
JONATHAN POWELL
His changes to the Drama Department in the 1980s helped bring the BBC huge acclaim… but left Doctor Who high and dry.
THE 2000s
The television industry was transformed while Doctor Who was off the air. These changes impacted the programme as soon as it re-emerged – most notably when production relocated from London to Cardiff.
