I'm not saying Lucas is a bad thing, just i wonder how it comes about. Wonder if River will reappear?

I'd quite like Matt Lucas as a TARDIS traveller. I might be on my own here but i loved the two James Corden episodes.

It was more James Corden my comment was aimed at rather than the episodes themselves. I can't stand him.

It isn't though.

It's just a taster. The real interview is in issue 501, which is dedicated to Tom.

What did the stars of Doctor Who do before they were famous?

Saw The Robots of Death again last night. Been nearly five years since I've seen it and had almost forgotten how great it is (and how full-on!). The Doctor and Leela arrive on a sandminer looking for ore on a desert world, staffed by a skeleton crew of humans and lots and lots of robots. When the first murder happens, the Doctor and Leela are immediately prime suspects - but someone on board has begun reprogramming the servile robots to become deadly killers... Robots is an absolute classic from start to finish, with the regulars and guest cast (particularly Pamela Salem and the great Russell Hunter) delivering terrific performances. Robots starts off as a whodunnit before ramping up into a full-on battle for survival against the killer robots and their master, "a happy little maniac" (as the Doctor calls him) who was raised by robots and considers them superior to humans. It's all the little details in the scripts that build the characters and the world they live in that really help turn Robots into something special, along with the production, which is first class throughout. Classic stuff.
