A new era begins with the latest issue of the Doctor Who Magazine, which includes an exclusive interview with new Doctor Who Executive Producer Matt Strevens.
You might recognise his name from the 50th anniversary docudrama special, An Adventure in Space and Time, which he also produced. Of Series 11, Streven says:
“You get to ask for a new TARDIS and cast a new Doctor – the childhood me could never have imagined it.”

Yep, there are a few items there about the new logo – and indeed, this DWM is the first to sport it. It’s divided fans though, with some saying it doesn’t stick out on the shelves. Personally, I was worried about it on merchandise, and think it lacks the punch needed to sell, but here, I think it works well. But what do you think, dear DWC readers?
