LETTER FROM The Editor

Welcome! How are you enjoying the new series of Doctor Who? Assuming you’ve bought this issue on the day of release, we’re now a quarter of the way through the new series, with nine lovely episodes still to air. Still so many treats to come!

Of course, there’s a chance that you might be picking up an issue of Doctor Who Magazine for the first time. We always like to think that every issue is someone’s first, but that’s even more likely to be the case when a new series comes on air. So if you are new, welcome friends! A thousand welcomes! Surprise, surprise! By jove, yes!

Okay, so we’re a tiny bit eccentric around here, but our hearts are surely in the right place. And we’re more than a little obsessed by Doctor Who! You can probably tell. Anyway, right now our main focus is on the Doctor’s brandnew adventures, currently airing each Saturday night on BBC One, but we also like to give attention to all 54 years of Doctor Who’s glorious history. (Yes, alright, alright, some of those years were more glorious than others. I suppose 1998 might have been a bit rubbish.)
