The Team

Regular Features

Top-secret DWA Fact Number Two: The free gifts are made in an underground lair by the Autons, and one day will spring to life and kill the entire readership of DWA! Regular monster-man Paul Kasey says: Crikey!

Fact File

A two-page feature on a character or race written by Moray Laing (taken over by Neill Corey for issues four and 12, Paul Lang for issue 11, Leesa Daniels for issue 17 and Annie Gibson for issue 18), usually accompanied with various silly speech bubbles and pictures of Jackie screaming "Squee!", and a number of blatantly obvious 'facts'.

Comic Strip



Wonderfully cheesy strips with the unmistakable art of John Ross (and bold colouring by Adrian Salmon, who had previously provided work for DWM and Big Finish's Bernice Summerfield range), busy at the time too with inking the Battles in Time strip. These appeared across six pages throughout the issue, with a cliffhanger (accompanied by a "eeeeooooow!" sting) after page four, prompting the reader to turn to later in the issue.
Gareth Roberts (Virgin Books, BBC Books, Attack of the Graske and the TARDISodes) joined the team as script editor from issue seven, and Paul Vyse began handling lettering from issue eight. In issue 11, Gary Russell took over as Script Editor and Paul Lang handled letters. Paul Vyse returned, with Kerrie Lockyer, for issue 15 alone.

Win (aka Puzzles and Prizes for issue three)

Not content with the giveaways in the Puzzles and Goodies pages, the first three issues also had extra competitions: Issue one and two had a mail-in competition for a life-size Dalek, and issue three a trip to the Doctor Who Exhibition in Cardiff Bay.

Adventures (aka Past Adventures in issue one)

A two-page guide to an already-broadcast story - mainly a synopsis, with one or two fact bites. These ran in order from issue one starting with The Christmas Invasion, skipping over issues eight, thirteen, fourteen and nineteen, and then returned to Rose for issue 18, then jumping around at random. Initially uncredited, from School Reunion onwards these were attributed to Justin Richards, and from Rose onwards were credited to Leanne Gill.

Fun Stuff

A puzzle, and an ongoing Things To Do With a Defeated Enemy cartoon by Christopher Cooper. After issue twelve, Cooper's cartoons moved to join The Vortex, and were occasionally replaced by his crazy Time Warped features instead of TTDWADE.

Posters

Usually two A4s backed onto one A3.

Top Scares (aka Tales from the TARDIS, Top Times! and Fave Scenes)

Initially a page of themed terrifying moments (eg Jackie's biggest scares - "squee!" - best Dalek deaths etc) and then later a photo-strip of a memorable scene.

Puzzles

A page of puzzles, usually including a wordsearch with some Lego to win, compiled by Olivia McLean, dropped after the first seven issues.

The Doctor's Data

A single page guide to an enemy, in cut-out-and-keep form, with guides to help you cut the page out and hole-punch it.

Make It

Renamed Makes in issues three and five onwards - a two-page cut-out-and-make activity. These are almost exclusively blown up headshots designed to be used as masks, but on a couple of occasions www.clockworkrobot.com (James Watts, a specialist in paper engineering) provided more complicated models, including the K.9 pictured right. On October 5th a number of similar activities from Clockwork Robot were published by Penguin as the Doctor Who Model-Making Kit.

Behind The Scenes (aka Confidential Extra)

A two-page photo diary 'making of' with even more inappropriate speech bubbles than ever before!

Issue	On...	Silly speech bubble / Pointless fact Award
Issue 1	The Christmas Invasion	Sycorax: "Are you finished yet?"
Issue 2	New Earth	Technician: "Where do I plug this in?"
Issue 3	Tooth & Claw	Euros Lyn: "Graaarrgh" [eh?]
Issue 4	School Reunion	Anthony Head: "This is much more fun than Buffy the Vampire Slayer!"
Issue 5	The Girl in the Fireplace	David Tennant: "Woah, horsey!"

Issue 19	[N/A]

Actually, we shouldn't mock, as we did learn something - the manager of the quarry where The Impossible Planet was filmed has "00D" as part of his number plate!

The first two issues thanked members of the DW:C team - Zoe Rushton and Gillane Seabourne in issue one, and Hannah Williams and Seabourne in issue two. From issues seven to ten they were credited to Annabel Gibson, and from then on uncredited until issue 16, when Annabel officially returned to those pages.

We spent six hours trying to spot differences that weren't there. DWA were NOT sympathetic. **One of a number of more complicated Makes provided by James Watts. Totally Fictional DWA Fact Number Three: Watts is partially made of paper himself!

Issue 6 (14th June 2006)

Free Gift: Three sets of stickers (regular, glow-in-the-dark*, hologram**) - total 81 -  by Marlow (UK) Ltd of Witney Who's News: Love & Monsters / Fear Her Fact File: Inside the TARDIS (extended to three pages) Comic Strip: A Delicate Operation Adventures: Rise of the Cybermen Fun Stuff: Including TTDWADE: A Werewolf Posters: The Ood, The Doctor & Rose Quiz: One-off two page feature by Annabel Gibson taking one of the "poster" pages and the usual "Top Scares" page Puzzles: Odd one out, crossword and a wordsearch to win a robot dog The Doctor's Data: The Sycorax Who-Ru: One-off one-page quiz based on the segment of Totally Doctor Who Top Scares!: Cyber moments (temporarily moved from earlier in the issue) Makes: Cassandra*** Goodies!: DVDs, PSP games, Ghost Castle game and Mirrormask box sets Behind The Scenes: Rise of the Cybermen TARDIS Inbox *Some of the stickers were coated with a phospherescent paint. Did you know: Phosphorescent paint is made up of electrons arranged in atomic configurations or more complex molecular orbitals group into pairs which followed the Pauli exclusion principle. Only singlet electrons can populate a single energy level, or orbital. The available orbitals and allowed (ie favored) transitions between orbitals are determined by the rules of quantum mechanics and modelled in the field of computational chemistry. Each possible orbital is associated with a set of quantum numbers, and allowed transitions involve only certain prescribed changes in quantum numbers between states. The allowed energy transitions of the material then determine the preferred absorbance and emission spectra, ie the wavelengths of light (or electromagnetic radiation) that easily interact with the system. The practical upshot being that after being hit by light, it would glow in the dark for a few hours after the lights were switched off. Fab! **One fan reported having an asthma attack brought on by the materials used in the hologram stickers. Asthma is a chronic respiratory illness that can cause wheezing, tachypnea, prolonged expiration, tachcardia, rhonchous lung sounds and over-inflation of the chest. Eek! Scare factor: Five!! TME has recently swallowed a printout of Wikipedia. *****One of a number of more complicated Makes provided by James Watts.

Because of the weight of this week's free gift, DWA was distributed in polythene bags. Mickey says: Alright, fact-fans! Polythene is a thermoplastic, and its name originates from the monomer called ethene (also known as ethylene) that's used to create the polymer. I once saved the world with a bag. But don't put it over your head or you might suffocate!

Issue 9 (27th July 2006)

Free gift: Daleks vs Cybermen 'Connect Four' game (referred to as '4-in-a-Row' to avoid copyright infringement against the original game trademarked by Milton Bradley in 1974), manufactured by Premium World of Godalming From this point on the order of the features within the issues was juggled on an issue-by-issue basis. The Vortex: Two pages of gossip TARDIS Inbox: Two pages of letters and pictures (one-page worth, but with large adverts running down each side) Fact File: Two pages on what makes a monster scary Monster A-Z: New one-page feature.

This occurred because the original question 12 was cut out and replaced with what was question 13. Jackie says: Aaaaaah-lphabetical Nightmare! Possibly in reference to a string of threads at Outpost Gallifrey, the Doctor's Data page made a highlighted reference to the Cyber Controller coming back "from beyond the grave".

Save the Humans! (by Alan Barnes): The Doctor and Rose arrive at Wumba's World of Wild. The Doctor explains that he doesn't like Meerkats, as he "knows what they're planning". The park is on another planet, where humans are kept as beasts - the two friends are captured and placed with the other humans: Steve, Phoebe and Adam. They are colonists from the 41st century, and have become used to performing for the aliens' amusement - suddenly a stomping is heard [cliffhanger]. Dinosaurs attack, and the Doctor encourages them to follow him by speaking in reptilian: "Follow me for pizza" - he uses them to break out of the cages and leaves Adam and Steve to ponder their new future...

Gay agenda alert! The strip ends with "Adam and Steve" planning a new future together, Adam and Eve style! Random Catholic Priest says: Aaargh!

Bat Attack! [Part one of two] (by Alan Barnes)
The Doctor and Rose solve the Case of the Unsuitable Suitor in 1897, impressing Inspector Lestrade and creating the name Sherlock Holmes in the process. Although they want to head to Paris to re-enact the movie Moulin Rouge!, they are attacked by bats, which leads them to the Royal Lyceum Theatre where Bram Stoker is preparing to direct a Mr Irving in a production of Dracula. Bram's wife, Florence, arrives in tears, followed by Frererick von Dracula, descendent of Vlad the Impaler who wishes to complain about Stocker's libel. But all is not lost, as it transpires Florence is a real vampire (she quickly explains that in real life, they're not allergic to sunlight), who commands her bats to return Dracula to Transylvania. A decision must be made, now - too many people know her secret, and Rose is disgusted to discover that in order to avoid killing humans, she sucks the blood of cats - the Doctor decides he must visit the man that turned Florence into what she is today: Oscar Wilde...

Date Research Alert!: A reference is made to Tuesday May 18th, 1897. For one of the few times in Doctor Who's history, the writer has the day correct! Squeeee!

Issue 12 (7th September 2006)

The Battle of Reading Gaol [Part two of two] (by Alan Barnes)
The Doctor breaks into Reading Gaol to find Oscar Wilde locked up not for homosexuality, but for being a vampire. While trying to sneak him out, however, he and Rose discover that the entire Gaol is now populated by the winged beasts. Wilde has a flashback to his days at Oxford, where a spirit first bit him (the Doctor explains it would have been an alien carrying a virus). Wilde saves Rose from being turned by his fellow vampires, but too late: the whole of Britain is now being infected. The Doctor drinks some of the vampire virus, but because all Time Lords are immunised against it, his body creates natural gases enabling him to burp over everyone to cure them. Riiiiiiight...

Issue 13 (19th September 2006) - Published Tuesdays from hereon

Free gifts: Cassandra notebook and stickers (latter formed the front page of the former), both from TCS Ltd The Vortex: Two pages of gossip TARDIS Inbox: One page of letters and pictures Fact File: Who's the Best Comic Strip: Triskaidekaphobia (Back to the original six-page format, split across one issue) Posters: School Reunion, SuperRose (A3), The Ood The Doctor's Data: The Krillitanes Fact File: The Big Fight [Daleks vs Cybermen] Monster A-Z: E is for Empty Child Goodies!: Cyber Sets, Stormbreaker Books, Star Wars Sets, Garfield PS2 Games Quiz: How Well do YOU Know the Cybermen? TARDIS Teasers: Including a wordsearch to win Cleudo This issue was promoted both in DWM and at Outpost Gallifrey as being in a new larger format. Fans felt somewhat cheated when they discovered it was just a larger cover, and the rest of the pages inside were exactly the same size. This new format only lasted for issues 13 and 14, and the reverse of the covers featured guides to the past Cybermen and Dalek stories respectively. With all this debacle, no-one seemed to notice that the "flame" version of the Doctor Who logo was now being used. Although produced by a different company, the notebook was of similar design to the TARDIS Logbook of issue five.

Triskaidekophobia (by Alan Barnes)
After escaping the dreaded Speardroids, the Doctor uses the randomiser to take prove to Rose that the TARDIS isn't "cursed". They land at galactic co-ordinates 13:13:13:13:13:13, on Friday 13th of the thirteenth month, c13, on the thirteenth moon on the thirteenth planet of the thirteenth galaxy. They are greeted by a bolt of lightning and Father Tragedy of the Triskaidekaphobes - two of their number recently died, so they are looking for new recruits. While the Doctor and Rose consider an escape plan, they are attacked by a lightning monster [cliffhanger]! But actually its a matter transporter, and they arrive on a spacecraft that's orbiting the planet where Bob Kreesus is manipulating events so he steals all the planet's luck. The Doctor destroys his computer and takes him down to the planet where... erm, he seems to die. And everyone finds it a bit funny. Which isn't very nice.

Old Series Reference! Fab!: The Randomiser was first introduced in the really REALLY old story The Armageddon Factor from 1979. Wow! We didn't even know they had television in the 70s! Squeeeee!

Be like us and stick them all round your monitor without actually writing on them, and you too can be just like the Doctor. Christopher Eccleston says: "AAAAAAH! (I'm doing this at home right now!!!!)"

Smart Bombs (by Alan Barnes)
On a seemingly peaceful planet, the Doctor falls down a big hole and meets some friendly missiles. On the surface, Rose meets a travelling businessman, who takes her safely down to be reunited with the Doctor, who was rescued from his fall by the rather chatty bombs, who are stuck underground as they will explode in sunlight. The businessman bribes the rather childish weapons (leftovers from an ancient war) and tricks them into entering a portal to a world he has been hired to destroy [cliffhanger]. The Doctor uses his screwdriver to send the businessman through the portal, and then steals it away from the bombs. Angered, they launch a massive nuclear weapon, which the Doctor and Rose escape from, but which also causes a nuclear winter, enabling the bombs to return to the surface of the planet safely.

Tales from the TARDIS: The Doctor and Jack rescue Rose The cover featured the words "100% Official!" from now on and for this issue only the wordsearch featured an EXCLUSIVE!!!!!... typo.

Pinball Wizard (by Davey Moore)
The TARDIS is lost, having just escaped from the Erewon Armada with the directional crystal misaligned. They have arrived on a giant pinball table, where gameslaves (those who have wasted their lives playing computer games) are forced into giant pinballs where they are rocketed around the table at high speeds. Rose is mistaken for a gameslave and launched into the game [cliffhanger]. The Doctor slams the Rose-ball into the TARDIS, realigning the crystal and they escape.

Gangster's Paradise [Part one of two] (by Alan Barnes)
The Doctor and Rose are undercover on the planet of the Gangsters, trying to find replacement parts for the TARDIS vending machine. Unfortunately there is a bounty there on the Doctor's head, but that doesn't stop him from rescuing a damsel in distress (who dashes off with Rose) and being captured, taken to head mobster 'Lips' Lippizzaner. Lips takes him hostage in order to reobtain a bird that the damsel, Doll, was carrying.

Mickey's hi-tech info: Hey gang, Mickey Smith here to tell you all about how the TARDIS appears to disappear on the cover of your fab new TARDIS Notebook. Aaaaah! A lenticular image is one where a collection of pictures has been sliced up into teeny tiny strips and then reformed on the back of a series of prism-like lenses. The upshot is that whichever angle you look at it you'll see a different image. Crazy! Some prisms are really clever and contain up to 30 different angles, but your TARDIS notebook just contains two - one of the TARDIS close up, and one where its far away. Squeeeeee!

Heads You Lose [Part two of two] (by Alan Barnes)
Doll explains that their heads were all grown by a crazy scientist, but they escaped and built robot bodies. The Doctor and Rose are taken to the bird, which turns out to be the egg of the endangered Glitterbird. They steal it back to release it to the wild, Doll is reunited with her family, the Glitterbird hatches and flies off into space and the mob family are all taken into custody by robot detectives. Phew!

A Date to Remember [Part one of two] (by Davey Moore)
 Paris in the springtime... but what year? Rose can't quite pin it down, and when most of the population ignore them, and then start disappearing and reappearing at random, the Doctor realises they must be in the future. Criminals arrive through a wormhole of some sort, and have a brief battle with hi-tech guards, who freeze them in cubes. Some of the criminals escape, however, taking Rose with them...

Snow Fakes [Part two of two] (by Davey Moore)
Rose arrives in the real Paris, the world she left having been a holographic facade. Meanwhile, the Doctor realises the truth and begins to work to escape the facade while the 'criminals' launch a virus to destroy it once and for all. He escapes, and they find the man at the heart of the controls, who is also desperate to escape. Eventually, everyone is reunited with the real Paris.

The Wachowski Brothers say: Aaaaah! Matrix-inspiration alert!

The Hunters [Part one of two] (by Trevor Baxendale)
The Doctor, shortly after Rose's departure, arrives on a brand new planet and promptly falls off a cliff. He meets Kara McGravy in a jungle - she's been charting flora and fauna for Outworld University for the last two days but has discovered it all to be carnivorous. They are on the planet Hodran, and are quickly attacked by HUman Hunters for Untralo IV. They escape... by hiding in quicksand! Although they manage to escape this peril too, the Doctor ends up in the mouth of a giant plant-beast. Squee!

We'll next update this guide after issue 40...
