Doctor Who SFX #200 Is Bigger on the Inside
- In 200 "Secrets of Science Fiction" . . . "Spock might be hogging all the glory on our cover but if you ask us there’s an even brighter gem sparkling inside. Or 200 tiny gems if you will because for the past year the SFX hive mind has been taking every opportunity to gather together 200 24-carat nugget secrets from the furthest reaches of the galaxy. James Cameron, Russell T Davies, Stan Lee, Mark Millar, Neil Gaiman, Wes Craven, Edgar Wright, David Tennant and Terry Pratchett all contribute. Our favourite though – Joss Whedon’s five part guide to the secret of great dialogue. Genius."
- "Star Trek 2"
- In "Terry Pratchett — Fannish Inquisition" . . . "We put you’re questions to the legendary Discworld architect and former SFX Guest Editor."
- In "Terry Gilliam" . . . "A look back at the life and works of the former Python turned one-of-a-kind fantasy-filmmaker."
- In Jonathan Ross: Heroes and Inspirations . . . "Find out what makes the one-time mouth of Friday night TV tic."
- In "The History of SFX" . . . "Forgive the indulgence but we are 200 issues old after all. Ever wondered when the first ever Spoiler Zone was? Or what issue the cast of Spaced joined us on the couch? Never wonder again with our handy double page timeline."
- In "A World without Star Wars" . . . "No Lord Of The Rings, no Star Trek Next Gen, no Pixar, but most importantly no SFX. Why the world of science fiction has a lot to thank Star Wars for."
- In "Wishlist" . . . "Doctor Who Season Six – Steven Moffat’s first year in the hot seat may have ended with a Big Bang but you let the BBC in on the secret of evolving Doctor Who in the latest Wishlist."
- And finally . . . "This year he’s appeared on TV, video games and magazine covers (ahem) but now the [Eleventh] Doctor is making the leap to graphic novels with The Only Good Dalek. We speak to the writer."
Doctor Who Gallifrey One Convention Announces New Guests
"Gallifrey One is delighted to announce several newly confirmed guests for our 2011 convention. We're very happy to welcome for her first-ever North American Doctor Who appearance none other than Sheridan Smith. Sheridan is best known to fans as Lucie Miller, the companion to Paul McGann's Doctor in Big Finish Productions' continuing series of adventures on audio from 2006 to 2009, starring in twenty-five audio plays from "Blood of the Daleks" to "Death in Blackpool." In addition to CD releases, many of the audios were broadcast on BBC 7 Radio. . . . We need to stipulate that her appearance here is tentative based on her current work schedule.
"Also appearing with us for the very first time is Doris Egan, recently announced as the one of the four writers joining the production of the fourth series of Torchwood, subtitled The New World. . . . We're pleased to welcome Doris for her first Doctor Who convention experience.
"Joining us as well this year is Gareth Roberts, who was unable to be with us for his first visit last February. Gareth began his Doctor Who career as a novelist. . . . More recently, he penned the interactive Doctor Who episode "Attack of the Graske" before writing episodes of the revived TV series including "The Shakespeare Code," "The Unicorn and the Wasp" and this past season's "The Lodger," as well as co-writing with Russell T Davies "Planet of the Dead". Gareth has also penned the screenplays for the pilot (with Davies) of The Sarah Jane Adventures and fourteen episodes of the series including "Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane Smith?" and last year's "The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith" which guest starred David Tennant.
"Gareth has also penned several items with another newly confirmed guest, Clayton Hickman, the former editor of Doctor Who Magazine and a Gallifrey One guest from many years ago... Clay and Gareth have co-written the upcoming fourth season finale of Sarah Jane, "Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith" . . . Clay has also designed many of the BBC Doctor Who DVD covers, written extensively on the program, and with Gareth co-wrote two audios for Big Finish Productions (including the longtime fan-favorite "The One Doctor").
"Rounding out our guest program announcement this month are writer/editor Lynne Marie Thomas, whose recent book "Chicks Dig Time Lords" has been all the rage in the Doctor Whocommunity this year, and whose next project will be announced by the 2011 convention; and our recent announcements of Phil Ford and James Moran in case you missed them (both returning guests!) We'll still have a few others to announce later this year, including a number of local guests for our science program track and signing writers/actors in the Los Angeles area."

Doctor Who Magazine 425 Is Bigger on the Inside
"I’m delighted that they’ve done such a good job in bringing it back. I’m so proud to have that connection with this very successful programme. It wasn’t allowed to be successful when I was doing it. At the time, I didn’t know why. It was only afterwards that I realised I wasn’t given a fair crack of the whip. I wish I had been."

"Doctor Who" Saves "The One Show"
". . . Desperate producers had NO ONE booked to appear on the revamped BBC1 show tomorrow night [Friday]. They were frantically ringing agents and PRs and getting knockbacks at every turn. Talent chiefs were stunned to discover the show had failed to secure a booking so late in the day.
"[Television agents] were quite surprised they were asking so late in the day if [they] had anyone who could appear on the show. Getting people at short notice in summer is tricky, so it was pretty odd for them to be getting their begging bowl out like that."
Not even a dancing Graham Norton cartoon could have made this worse. For a show with such a long line of upcoming celebrities, The One Show clearly failed to prepare for the near-disaster. But then, late Wednesday night, the TARDIS materialized into the offices of the BBC, and both Matt Smith and Karen Gillan agreed to join host Chris Evans for his Friday show.
Of course, after all that, there is a major warning before fully accepting all of this as truth. The Sun broke the story here, which means each of the quotes there will soon have their own posts on Digital Spy, and it also means you have to take a few grains of this. Still, it seems legitimate enough, though it wouldn't be the first time The Sun has made up a story to generate excitement about, well, hypothetically, a star-studded guest appearance on a popular programme.
