Doctor Who Radio Times Cover & Digital Copy News

On the cover: Doctor Who Special (BBC One)

With Thanks to www.radiotimes.com

In this week’s Radio Times, on sale Tuesday 19 August 2014 (for listings 23-29 August 2014)…

Peter Capaldi on why he thought he was too old to be the Doctor, bringing the mystery and strangeness back to Doctor Who and how he’s been taking advice from his predecessors (Doctor Who, BBC One)


On being unveiled as the new Doctor in August last year:

“There was a lot of cloak-and-dagger stuff on the way to the studio; the BBC genuinely felt it had to maintain secrecy so I was taken to a car park, dropped off by one car and put in another car with a blanket over my head.”

Too old to be the Doctor:

“I never thought I would be in the frame for it because the Doctors were getting younger and younger and that was fine.”


Speaking to Matt Smith and David Tennant:

“It’s nice to talk to people who know what it’s like to get back to your flat at 7.30 at night and still have five pages of dialogue to learn for the next day and the hours are ticking away, and you’ve still got to get some sleep. ”


Peter Capaldi explains he still hasn’t quite found his feet yet:


“I don’t know if it’s quite fallen into place yet. I think it’s a mistake to get it to click, to get into a groove.”

Features inside the new issue include an exclusive interview and cover shoot with star Peter Capaldi and showrunner Steven Moffat’s unmissable guide to all 12 episodes of the new series. This week’s issue is also a Blippar special with additional Doctor Who content where you see the Blippar logo.

    Be interesting if the Radio Times did a modern version of the 1973 Radio Times Doctor Who Special using a modern Cyberman, Dalek, and maybe something else instead of the Sea Devil used on the original cover, and have Peter copy Jon’s pose in that picture 😀
