Daleks have taken over Doctor Who Magazine Issue 630, on sale this week in all good newsagents, and some run by Voord.
This issue sees The Fifteenth Doctor face off against the Daleks in the comic strip, “Corruption of the Daleks” from writer Alan Barnes and artist John Ross, and includes numerous pepper pot peril-related treats…
Brian Hodgson, the legendary Radiophonic Workshop sound designer who created the voice of the Daleks, and the sound of the TARDIS, discusses his Doctor Who work, plus there’s the story of the remarkable recovery of a unique Dalek prop that has survived in a private collection since 1965.
I was a secret Dalek! Nicholas Evans, a Dalek operator and Slyther in The Dalek Invasion of Earth – among other roles – talks to DWM, as does Mickey Lewis, sharing his memories of playing a Dalek – and a Dalek zombie – in 2012’s Asylum of the Daleks.
We’re also treated to a preview of the new Ultra HD release of the TV movie starring Eighth Doctor Paul McGann, and Alan Yentob, controller of BBC1 when the TV movie was being made, talks about his role in the return of Doctor Who in an interview conducted shortly before his death. Plus, Richard Hudolin, designer on the TV movie, discusses his extraordinary TARDIS sets.
But that’s not all, because Mark Strickson is interviewed this issue, too, talking about his time as shifty Fifth Doctor companion, Turlough.
Plus, find out all about how the music and sound effects come together in the latest part of the DWM series on Rutans vs Sontarans, and discover the truth behind “The Lie of the Land”, as “The Fact of Fiction” dissects an unsettling Twelfth Doctor story.
Regular features include Lew Stringer’s “Daft Dimension” cartoon strip and an always entertaining letters column, Gallifrey Guardian, the monthly round-up of news including the latest on the multi-platform series “Circuit Breaker”, reviews and “Other Worlds” – the essential guide to new stories in Doctor Who’s expanded universe.
And as if that wasn’t enough, there are prizes to be won, too, including the latest audio dramas featuring the Fourth, Sixth, Eighth and Ninth Doctors.
