DWMSE 27

This was the 27th in a quarterly series of magazine releases by the publishers of Doctor Who Magazine from Panini UK.

Your complete guide to the award-winning BBC One series! Written and researched by Andrew Pixley. 2010 was a landmark year for Doctor Who. Matt Smith and Karen Gillan appeared on television as the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond for the first time, in a series of incredible adventures. From the Doctor’s crash landing in sleepy Leadworth, through to his arrival at Amy’s wedding in a rebooted universe, the last of the Time Lords faced many monsters during the course of his travels, including Weeping Angels, Silurians, Autons, Cybermen, Smilers, Venetian Vampires, Prisoner Zero … and of course, the Daleks! Now, Doctor Who Magazine takes you behind the scenes of the Eleventh Doctor’s first six episodes with an in-depth episode guide – including original storylines, deleted scenes, media appearances, ratings information and thousands of facts about the day-to-day life of the making of Doctor Who – all illustrated with gorgeous, never-before-seen photographs. This collector’s edition examines Amy's Choice, The Hungry Earth / Cold Blood, Vincent and the Doctor, The Lodger and The Pandorica Opens / The Big Bang, as well as the specially-made Meanwhile in the TARDIS scenes from the DVD box set. This is your essential guide to worlds of Doctor Who. Get ready to discover a wealth of information – but watch out for the cracks …
