Put on a party hat, pull a cracker, and countdown the hours to The Christmas Invasion with the new issue of Doctor Who Magazine! This issue, the magazine speaks exclusively to Billie Piper - the Doctor's companion, Rose - in a massive '0-page interview. Billie chats about how Rose will cope with the new Doctor in the Christmas Special and Series Two... "Rose is a bit more possessive this time around. I think it's because she feels like she's lost the Doctor once, and she doesn't want to lose him again. She's become a bit more jealous, which is something that's quite funny, but also destructive, as we'll find out... "Sometimes Christmas specials don't really include Christmas. But ours does. There's lots of Christmas... and I'm such a Christmas freak! So yeah, Christmas ­ and a new Doctor, and an alien invasion. And isn't that everything that you could possibly want from a Christmas special? Oh, and crackers!" Plus, of course, there's a full preview to the Tenth Doctor's festive debut, with dozens of photos from the story. Meanwhile Steven Moffat, writer of the poll-winning The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances looks back at the success of his first Doctor Who adventure and chats about writing for the new Doctor in The Girl in the Fireplace. Plus: there's a look back at 2005 in the Review of the Year; Sorvad takes a journey with the Ghost of Christmas Past; and a very special story, Voice from the Vortex, which has dropped through from a terrifying parallel dimension. Meanwhile, the Watcher returns with his Christmas Quiz; the Time Team watch The Armageddon Factor; the Ninth Doctor reaches his final comic strip adventure, A Groatsworth of Wit; and Russell T Davies returns with his own special version of The Twelve Days of Christmas in Production Notes... ...

Product Description
David Tennant tells Doctor Who Magazine what he has enjoyed most about playing the Doctor over the past year: "What I suppose is eternally fascinating is the emotional side of someone who apparently has no emotional side," David considers. "The relationship with Rose became, to all intents and purposes, a love story. You learn how malleable the character can be ­ the show doesn't disappear in a puff of smoke if the Doctor does things that apparently he¹s never done before. It's not the end of the series if he snogs Madame de Pompadour. I'm interested in how we can push that ­ not necessarily sexually, but in other aspects as well. How can we tweak at the corners of the established myth without pulling it apart?" And here's the $64-million question: would David like to sign up to film a third series? It's a funny question, that, isn't it? As soon as I accepted this job, the first question I got asked was, How long are you staying? It's difficult to judge, because there's an element of being in a long-running show that's a gamble, because I am 35 now, and if I stayed in this for as long as it was humanly possible, I'd still have to have some kind of a career at the other end of it, so it's judging when is the right moment to go. I think I now know how many series I'm going to do, and Russell, Julie, and I have talked about it, and will continue to talk about it, but I think it would be stupid of me to say more than that right now - anything can happen, and everything can change... Also in the new issue, DWM eavesdrops on the Eighth Doctor's return in the new Doctor Who radio series for BBC7, with exclusive interviews with Paul McGann and his new companion, Sheridan Smith, as well as a host of guest stars. ...

For Locals and Visitors, Alike
Informative and interesting guide to local geography.Much more than a tourist guide for kids, this points out local attractions plus a bit of history and legend. Attractive captioned illustrations enliven each page and at times add a touch of humour.Some of the vocabulary may be difficult for youngsters, but the format lends itself to reading aloud.Ms Kaupuiki also includes a glossary and pronunciation guide for many of the Hawaiian words, although it seems to be taken for granted that readers will know that Peter and his dog are wearing helmets that ancient Hawaiian warriors wore, though why they wear them, I don`t know (because he is skateboarding?)I grew up in Hawaii, with local history lessons and all, but even I learned a thing or two from Peter Panini. My two boys enjoy hearing about places they know, as well as finding out about the other islands and some basic history and lore.I wonder if other states have as interesting geography books for kids about their region. ...

In DWM 384, both DEREK JACOBI and JOHN SIMM speak exclusively about breathing new life into the Doctor's old nemesis... Ive tried to explain to my son that his dad is going to be, like, the epitome of evil, John Simm laughs, but if I say, I have a fight with Doctor Who, and ask him who he wants to win, hell say Doctor Who! Its one of those opportunities, though, to impress your son in a massive way, and that was just too good to turn down. Julie Gardner was trying to find something for me to do in it, and I kept saying, Look, Im not being painted blue! And then Julie and Russell T Davies said, What about the Master? As soon as they said that, I was like,Youre kidding? Oh yeah! I got really excited about it, but I just had to sit on the news. I wanted to tell people, IM GOING TO BE THE MASTER!!! But it was a secret. Hmft. Also this issue, there's a preview of the devastating climax to Series Three, Last of the Time Lords, as the Doctor, Martha and Jack struggle to save the Earth from the Master's clutches. ...
