Doctor Who Magazine 423

DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE EXPLODES IN ISSUE 423!

Prepare for THE BIG BANG on Saturday as DWM goes on set, braves the darkness of the Underhenge and talks to the people behind the astonishing finale of Doctor Who – including stars MATT SMITH and KAREN GILLAN, head writer STEVEN MOFFAT, director TOBY HAYNES and monster maker NEILL GORTON!

We ask Steven just what, after the jaw-dropping events of THE PANDORICA OPENS, could possibly happen next? “Amy’s dead at the hands of the man she loves,” he considers. “ The TARDIS is burning and River with it, and every star in the universe is exploding at every moment in history. Any other hero would be stumped. Fortunately, you are watching Doctor Who…”

Also in DWM 423…
