Welcome

H
appy times and places indeed
– it seems we’ve got two new
Doctors to look forward to,
not to mention the return
of Donna Noble. But before
all that, Jodie Whittaker will bring her
remarkable tenure to an end in a Centenary
Special loaded with surprises. With the help
of current showrunner Chris Chibnall and
incoming showrunner Russell T Davies, we’ll
keep you up to date every step of the way.
In the meantime, there’s a wealth of
archive treasures to enjoy. Shiny new discs
of Season 22 and Dr. Who and the Daleks
should arrive any day now, and I’ve been
enjoying the recent HD remasters of Gerry
Anderson’s Stingray. This was the fi rst
British television series made entirely in
colour, and restoring all those fi lm elements
from nearly 60 years ago must have been
tricky. The results, however, are stunning.
The other day I was comparing notes with
one of DWM’s contributors, who pointed
out to me that in the newly restored
episodes you can occasionally see the hands
of puppeteers straying into shot. I added
that, in the episode I’d just seen, I noticed
one of the puppet’s hats hovering slightly
above its head, as it appeared to have been
caught on one of the wires.
Sometimes, watching the restorations
of Doctor Who episodes can reveal new
things too. Last year, Peter Ware told me
he’d spotted some unique typography
in the title sequences for the fi rst two to own the best possible versions of the
episodes of Terror of the Autons. The DVD programmes I cherish, but maybe I need

Which is all well and good, but of Doctor Who. It’s fun to speculate, but
recently it occurred to me that hovering how many people actually know how the
Supermarionation hats and eccentric on-screen reunion of David Tennant’s
title-sequence typography aren’t things Doctor and Catherine Tate’s Donna will be
