- "Steven Moffat's guide to Doctor Who in 2011"
- "CGI Effects for DVD release of Day of the Daleks"
- "American characters to join Barrowman and Myles in Torchwood". The article references two characters by different names: Esther Drummond was said to be "Esther Katusi" (the originally intended name for the character before Caucasian actress Alexa Havins was cast after the article was written), and Oswald Danes was said to be "Oswald Jones". Also, at this point, DWM was still calling Torchwood: Miracle Day, "Torchwood: The New World" as this was the title being used by the BBC in publicity. As things turned out The New World was the name of only the first episode of the series.
