Doctor Who Magazine 449 /2012/06/doctor-who-magazine-449/ /2012/06/doctor-who-magazine-449/#comments Thu, 28 Jun 2012 11:00:14 +0000 Ben /?p=4754 The new issue of Doctor Who Magazine, published today, features my interview with esteemed casting director Andy Pryor, who has worked on every single episode of Doctor Who since the show’s return in 2005. He says:

“One of the things that makes my job easier is, I don’t get particularly starstruck. I’m hugely impressed by someone if they’re good and if they’re cast well, and I have great respect for what actors do, but I’m not really interested in celebrity. I don’t care what parties they’ve been to, or what they’re wearing, or who’s dating who…”

Also in DWM 449, Jonathan Morris looks at the growing pains of a TV legend in 49 Up; The Fact of Fiction investigates 2005′s triumphant return for the Doctor’s deadliest enemy, Dalek (with exclusive new revelations from the writer of that episode, Robert Shearman); the Time Team has a devil of a time watching 2006 two-parter The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit; TV Dalek Nicholas Pegg reveals the arcane secrets of compiling production subtitles on the Doctor Who DVDs; Chris Chibnall drops hints about his two scripts for the forthcoming season, in Production Notes; Toby Hadoke and Johnny Candon consider which classic creature should return next; Amy has been hijacked in the second part of The Cornucopia Caper, a new comic strip adventure written by Scott Gray with art by Dan McDaid… and all the latest news, reviews, previews, and competitions.

Doctor Who Magazine is available from all good newsagents.

Doctor Who Magazine 448 /2012/05/doctor-who-magazine-448/ /2012/05/doctor-who-magazine-448/#comments Thu, 31 May 2012 11:00:38 +0000 Ben /?p=4742 The cover of the new issue of Doctor Who Magazine (on sale from 31st May, from all good newsagents) features William Russell. Inside, I interview the legendary actor about played the First Doctor’s companion Ian Chesterton in 78 episodes:

“William Hartnell never forgave me for leaving. He couldn’t understand it, which was nice in a way. He said to me, ‘What’s the matter with you? You’ve got three kids, you’ve got a job, we’re having a great time – what more do you want?!’ ‘I want to do a play, Bill.’ ‘Oh Christ –!’ He didn’t understand that. Maybe he was right.”

Elsewhere in DWM 448, Neil Gaiman tells me how writing The Doctor’s Wife helped him deal with the death of his father (“Sometimes things get a little frustrating being me,” he says); the votes have been counted and the winners of DWM’s annual readers’ poll are announced; showrunner Steven Moffat tells of the sad day that Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill recorded their final scenes as companions Amy and Rory; Mark Coupeabout interviews Glen McCoy, writer of much-maligned 1985 serial Timelash; Cavan Scott talks to the stars of 1988′s Remembrance of the Daleks – Pamela Salem, Karen Gledhill, and Simon Williams – about Big Finish’s new spin-off audio drama series Counter Measures; The Fact of Fiction considers 1979 adventure The Armageddon Factor; the Time Team joins the Doctor and Rose in post-war London for 2006 episode The Idiot’s Lantern; the Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Rory get involved in some very organised crime in brand new comic strip adventure The Cornucopia Caper… and all the latest news, reviews, previews, and competitions.

EDIT (15:45, 04/06): Kind words. RT @neilhimself: @dwmtweets For the record, that interview in DWM was one of the best interviews with me EVER. (04/06/2012 15:39) And RT @neilhimself: Just read an interview with me about The Doctor’s Wife in Dr Who Magazine. Best article with me in it I’ve read in ages. Nice job @dwmtweets.

MATT SMITH: “That’s my new game – sporadically hugging Karen in public and crying ‘Don’t leave!’” #DoctorWho (12/04/2012 18:35)

At last! Miss Karen Gillan is now on Twitter! (Told you we’d persuade her.) Show her some love: @KarenGillan2. #DoctorWho (12/04/2012 23:01)

We’re working on Matt Smith. He’s leaning towards Instagram. Hmpf. Gimme till the end of the day. We will get him on Twitter. ;) #DoctorWho (12/04/2012 23:09)

Oh. Oh dear. :/ RT @RattyBurvil: I’m just hoping @karengillan2 left her email notifications on. (13/04/2012 00:04)


FRIDAY 13TH APRIL

Crowds chanting. Fezzes. Bow ties. Banners. 15-year-olds in tweed. Night air. Atmos. Hush now. 1930s. New York. It’s mental here. #DoctorWho (13/04/2012 01:28)

RT @RattyBurvil: So @KarenGillan2 has NOT turned off her email notifications and her battery has died. Cue 50,000 emails. Today just got so much better. (13/04/2012 01:51)

The gift that keeps on giving. RT @KarenGillan2: Someone could have told me to turn off my email notifications when I joined Twitter today! (13/04/2012 06:09)

I’m in Times Square, NYC. With Dr Who and Amy Pond. We haven’t slept in almost 24 hours. http://twitpic.com/997wbm (13/04/2012 13:16)

The Doctor in Manhattan! Check out some photos I took for @bbcdoctorwho: http://bbc.in/HAgzGU Also available as wallpapers. Yeah! #DoctorWho (13/04/2012 19:30)

SATURDAY 14TH APRIL

When you describe someone in Glee as “a terrible count”, coz your iPhone doesn’t like it when you swear. YOU’RE NOT MY MOTHER, AUTOCORRECT! (14/04/2012 18:36)

At Katz’s Deli with @robynschneider, some chicken noodle soup, a “New York Egg Cream”, and a roast beef sandwich as big as my fucking face. (14/04/2012 22:04)

RT @notdangle: @benjamin_cook I’ve never seen your “fucking face”. How much larger is it than your normal one? (14/04/2012 22:05)

RT @Mickeleh: Somewhere in Little Italy with @robynschneider and @benjamin_cook http://pic.twitter.com/AUrJJ69E (15/04/2012 02:07)


MONDAY 16TH APRIL

If I had “Four Square”, I’d be mayor of the Empire State Building right now. (16/04/2012 22:58)

Earlier today, I was “mayor” of Liberty Island. I suppose it’s one of those days. (16/04/2012 23:06)

In Central Park, NYC. The morning after the night before. I FUCKING LOVE THIS CITY! http://twitpic.com/9apche (17/04/2012 00:57)

P.S. The jumper is new. Bought it in Trash and Vaudeville, one of NYC’s most incredible punk and goth stores. http://twitpic.com/9apche (17/04/2012 01:03)

A better photo of my new favourite jumper. OMG JUST LOOK AT IT! :D Plus, eye make-up. http://twitpic.com/9apg5m (17/04/2012 01:09)
