Well the latest edition of Richard Bignell's 'Nothing at the end of the Lane' is nothing short of superb. Grab it with two hands before copies sell out last!! This is the type of magazine you want DWM to be, but know in reality would be hard to sustain. Richard's sheer devotion to find out that little bit more on our behalf just shines through on every page. So what makes this issue fantastic?

Initially called the Australasian Doctor Who Fan Club, this, the national club, is also the oldest and largest Doctor Who club in Australia, formed in 1976. By 1979, with the visit of Tom Baker to promote the series for the ABC, Doctor Who fandom was increasingly separate from SUSFA and other university based clubs around the country.

The latest edition of CT is a tribute to the wonderful Elisabeth Sladen. To tie-in with this the Toybox has the pleasure of revealing 4 rare items from its collection.

The BBC announced in May 2008 that Steven Moffat would be taking over from Russell T Davies as head writer and executive producer for Doctor Who's fifth series, to be broadcast in 2010 although Davies had initiated discussions with Moffat regarding this as far back as July 2007.
