Doctor Who Adventures Magazine - Issue #60
BBC Magazines Trade Release
Catherine Tate interviewed in this week’s Doctor Who Adventures magazine
You can’t have failed to notice that there’s a new person travelling aboard the TARDIS – Donna Noble, as played by Catherine Tate.
In this week’s Doctor Who Adventures, out on Thursday 17 April, Catherine Tate tells the magazine about the fun she’s having playing the character.
Did she watch Doctor Who when she was growing up?
“No! I remember the theme tune but it was never as interesting to me as Basil Brush. I didn’t know the Doctor regenerated until Christopher Eccleston turned into David. It was incredible!”
About stunts…
A: “Kneeling in the TARDIS is like kneeling on razor blades! I’ve got black and blue knees! I got absolutely battered during the first episode. David wants to do all his own stunts, though!”
If she could really time travel, would Catherine go and meet herself in the past…?
“If someone came in now and said, ‘Hi, I’m you at 50!’ you wouldn’t say, ‘Oh, go on, take a seat!’ I can’t answer without my head exploding!”
Read the whole interview in his week’s Doctor Who Adventures magazine. Free with this week’s issue is a deadly Dalek pen and notepad and the second part of a massive double-sided poster – inside the TARDIS on one side, and the monsters of series two on the other.
PLUS:
::Four cool posters: The Fires of Pompeii, an Ood, Donna and a Dalek!
::The Fires of Pompeii: our favourite bits from last week’s episode.
::Planet of the Ood: be prepared for a trip to an alien world.
::Quiz: test your knowledge on The Fires of Pompeii.
::Activity: make your own Son of Mine mask.
::Draw: create your own Dalek Sec Hybrid!
::Doctor's Data: discover Third Doctor facts.
::Puzzle: work out our Krillitane conundrum.
::Comic strip: the final part of The Poison Planet.
::Time Teasers: Tummy of Terror and a parallel picture!
::Who knows! What happened to Margaret Slitheen and why did Lucy shoot the Master?
::Win: goodies up for grabs!
::Subscription offer: if you subscribe you’ll get a FREE Doctor Who audiobook – The Feast of the Drowned.
::AND LOADS MORE!

Sypnosis
Donna Noble is determined to find the Doctor again – even if it means braving the villainous Miss Foster and her hordes of sinister Adipose. But when the alien threat escalates out of control, can Donna find her Time Lord before the march of the Adipose begins?
Information
Aired: April 5th 2008, 6.20pm, BBC1
Written by: Russell T. Davies
Directed by: James Strong
Cast: David Tennant (The Doctor), Catherine Tate (Donna Noble), Sarah Lancashire (Miss Foster) Jacqueline King (Mrs Noble), Bernard Cribbins (Wilf), and Billie Piper (Rose Tyler)
Unofficial Viewing Figures: 8.7 million
Official Viewing Figures: TBC
Appreciation Index: 88
Main Notes
Donna Noble returns in this episode, Rose Tyler makes an appearance which is explained later in episode 11 "Turn Left" and The Doctor admits he treated Martha Jones badly.
Trivia
The episode was filmed in October 2007, in the fourth block of filming in the series and the preview version of the episode which was shown to the press prior to its broadcast did not include the returning scene with Rose. Only the production crew, David Tennant and Catherine Tate had seen it before the public. and David Tennant and Catherine Tate found it so difficult to avoid each other on screen that it took 30 different takes to get the scene done properly.
In todays SUnday Mirror you get a free double sided Doctor Who poster! On one side the Doctor is in front on the Tardis and on the other side is the SJA team surrounded by a Slitheen, a Graske and the Trickster. There is also a competition to win a Dalek voice changer helmet and SJA figures inside the paper. I already got my copy of the Sunday World today with the free poster, will you be buying it? Also thanks to Mark for the above picture!
Here are the unofficial overnight ratings for "Partners in Crime" with thanks to Gallifrey One!
Unofficial figures show that the first episode of Series Four, Partners in Crime was watched by 8.4 million viewers, giving it a 39.4% share of the total television audience.
It the most watched programme of the day, beating the second placed Casualty by over 1 million viewers.The overnight figures are slightly up on the last two Season premiers, both of which benefited by being transmitted earlier in the year and in a later time slot. The programme got almost double the audience of its main ITV1 opposition, You've Been Framed, which got 4.7 million watching.
The audience peaked in the last quarter hour at 8.7 million, with the BBC1 audience dropping by nearly 3 million when the programme finished. Final figures, which will be released by BARB in ten days time, are likely to be higher as the programme was transmitted slightly later than its published time slot.The programme currently stands as the 10th most watched of the week, behind several episodes of EastEnders and Coronation street.The Children’s audience was 1.3 million, which was a 51.0% share of all 4-15 year old's watching.
Again, thanks to Gallifrey One!

The first episode of Doctor Who Series 4 has finished and it was brilliant! I think the Adipose are really cute! And the part where the Doctor and Donna were miming through the window was funny! And I know your waiting for me to say it! Rose! Donna asked Rose to tell Sylvia about the keys in the bin! But Rose ignored her or could not hear or maybe even see her. Maybe she was half in the parallel world or something. Well we will just have to wait and see........
I will post about Rose later today!

Enjoy Partners in Crime!

Naoko Mori has spoken exclusively to DigitalSpy about the sad events of the Torchwood series finale which aired last night. To read the interview click here.
In other news DON'T forget to watch Doctor Who tonight at 6:20pm on BBC1. I will update more about that later.
~ Zobles
Tonight's episode of Torchwood saw an end to the life of Owen Harper and Toshiko Sato. I was surprised they both died. It's now just Captain Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones. Maybe some new characters in Series 3? Perhaps Martha Jones will be a full time member! Also the Hoix was only in the episode for a minute or so but at least he made an appearance. Anyway it's time for Torchwood to move on........
In other news episode 9 of Series 4 (Doctor Who) has been changed from "Rivers Run" to "Forest of the Dead". Also don't forget to watch David Tennant and Catherine Tate on Jonathan Ross tonight at 10.35pm on BBC1.
~ Zobles
Don't forget to watch the big finale of Torchwood tonight! The episode is called "Exit Wounds" and I would like to thank Mark for the above picture! John Barrowman said that it is going to be the saddest episode and apparently not everyone makes it out alive..... After the long wait for digital viewers, waiting two weeks for this episode, it will be worth the wait because this is to be the best episode yet! There's Captain John Hart, Weevils, the Hoix, Grim Reaper-like creatures, and who knows, maybe something else.... Here is tonight's schedule:
Torchwood - Exit Wounds - 9pm - BBC2
Torchwood - Declassified - 9.50pm - BBC2
~ Zobles
Don't forget you can watch David Tennant and Catherine Tate on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross tonight! They will be talking about Series 4. You can watch it tonight at 10.35pm on BBC1! Also don't forget to watch Torchwood tonight. I will post about that later.
~ Zobles
Today John Barrowman will be on The Paul O' Grady Show at 5pm on Channel 4. He will likely be talking about Torchwood, Doctor Who, I'd do Anything and perhaps there will be a trailer for tonights Torchwood episode. Also thanks to Mark for the above picture!
~ Zobles
I have watched the trailer for Exit Wounds a few times and I have been wandering if that was a Hoix or a Weevil in the trailer? Well I paused it and found out it is more than likely the Hoix! Don't be confused the Weevils are in the trailer as well. Above is the picture of what I think is the Hoix. To view the trailer and judge for yourself click here.
For those of you who don't know, the Hoix is a creature from Series 2 of Doctor Who. He featured in episode 10 "Love and Monsters" for a few minutes as the Doctor and Rose were chased by him. Also there is another preview for Exit Wounds which you can view here.
Torchwood Exit Wounds airs tomorrow (April 4th) at 9pm on BBC2. Also expect a cliffhanger to Series 4 of Doctor Who at the end of the episode. Be warned the Hoix may not feature and there may not be a cliffhanger. Also David Tennant and Catherine Tate will be on GMTV tomorrow at 8:30am.

Also apparently Donna dies and Martha stays on Earth and Rose goes with the Doctor in the end. But again, time will tell. To view the pics, click here.
