Former Doctor Who script editor Andrew Cartmel is back writing Doctor Who – this time for Doctor Who Adventures.
While Andrew, who script edited all three seasons of the Seventh Doctor’s TV adventures, has never been credited as a writer on the show itself, he has written a number of comic strips for Doctor Who Magazine, including the acclaimed “Evening’s Empire”, drawn by Richard Piers Rayner and the chilling Cybermen tale “The Good Soldier”, drawn by Mike Collins.
The latest issue of Doctor Who Adventures also offers readers to get creative to be in with a chance to win a Sonic Screwdriver Universal Remote Control. This doesn’t mean you can control the universe with it – but it will control electronic devices such as a TV or Blu-ray player.
The magazine wants readers to tell them what they would do if they had their own sonic – and the top three answers will win a Universal Remote Control of their very own.
This issue also sees the start of an exciting new-feature – MONSTERCHEF! Discover how to turn a pizza into a brilliant monster meal, with the kind of results you can see below…
