CELEBRATE FOUR CENTURIES OF DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE!

Doctor Who Magazine reaches its 400th issue in style, with EIGHT extra pages and an exclusive photoshoot with the Doctor himself, David Tennant!

“I bought the first issue, in 1979,” David tells DWM. “I just thought, at last! Why’s this not happened before now? I was delighted. I chose it as my order. I used to be allowed one issue a week.” Could DWM run for another 400 issues? “Well, that’s a long time. How many years are we talking?” It’s been 29 years so far...“Another 400 issues...” he considers. “You know, I’m tempted to say, ‘If the television series continues,’ but Doctor Who Magazine thrived when the series was nowhere to be seen, to be fair, so I can see no reason why it won’t run and run. But hopefully the series will be there with the magazine, side by side, all the way. That’s how it should be. Yeah, with me on the cover! Forever...”

ALSO IN THIS VERY SPECIAL ISSUE:

• Executive producer Russell T Davies looks back over the last five years, in his most candid DWM interview ever.
