Issue Number One

The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine went on sale today, and it has some very interesting news on Titan's forthcoming Torchwood Magazine. The publication will be edited by a chap called Simon Hugo, who tells DWM "The first issue includes exclusive interviews with John Barrowman and James Marsters about Episode 1; Millennium FX and The Mill talk us through some of their work on the new series; and Freema Agyeman reveals her innermost thoughts about Filofaxes, falling over and her first kiss!"

"Meanwhile," Hugo continues, "Chris Chibnall writes the first in a series of exclusive new columns, and there'll also be a 10-page comic strip, starting with a story written by Transformers legend Simon Furman" There's also confirmation that the magazine will be released on January 24th, and - at 68 pages - costs £3.75.

The magazine's website expands on the news, confirming that SL Gallant will be drawing the comic strip. Future comic strips will be created by folks like Ian Edgington and Brian Williamson. It's thought that Titan will collect the comic strips together in graphic novel form at some point.

They'll also be previews of episodes three, four, five and six within issue one.

You can see a (rather small) picture of the issues cover above.

Back to DWM for a moment, and this latest issue also features a preview of Torchwood's second series, with comments from all the major cast and crew. Next issue the magazine talks to actress Freema Agyeman about her role in Doctor Who's spin-off series.

Doctor Who Magazine issue 391 is in shops now, priced £3.99. It's worth every penny, honest!*

*Especially for the rather grumpy Clive Swift interview!

It's only around 1am(ish) over here - I don't really sleep until well into the night anymore. I find that night's the best time to write my scripts - no disturbances!

Well, it is nearly 9pm here... I have the "kettle on the boil" and getting ready for a nice relaxing cup of tea... So I'll bid you a good night sir.

Hey TITAN, we have been able to resist the corny "Jack's Back" cliche on this blog for a few years now.

I did predict we would see this 'clever expression' back in july of 2006.

Come on guys, for issue #1 you couldn't come up with something a bit more creative?

Sorry, this is just coming from a guy who spent far too much of his life trying to come up with creative Torchwood headlines for a year leading up to the show's premier.

And then I came along, ruined everything, and Kurly thought "To Hell with it - any old crap will do from now on!" ;)

Good to hear from ya dude!
