I just got this sent to me from England and it is kind neat. the dress up kit is the Doctors glasses, plastic of course, and a different style of sonic screwdriver, it isnt the squirty or pen one, but rather the top rotates and is rounded. You also get two mini badges/buttons. One says Allonsy Alonso and the other is the Tardis Console.

The next issue will have the Ood dress up kit, the picture shows a kinda spaghetti beard and an ident tag.

Doctor Who Adventures 65

Freema Agyeman talks about goo and Who!

There’s an interview with Doctor Who star Freema Agyeman in the next issue of Doctor Who Adventures. She talks about what it’s like to be back, new companion Donna, and about all the goo she was covered in for the part of the Martha clone!

What was it like seeing the Doctor with a new companion?

"One of the main factors of the show is change so it didn’t feel that strange. I knew I was never going to do it forever and ever. I was just grateful Martha was given a chance. Now it’s Donna’s turn!"

How about her relationship with the Doctor?

"She’s slightly outgrown the Doctor, in the sense of that wide-eyedness that she had the first time round! She’s qualified as a doctor now and is working with UNIT. Plus, she’s engaged, so there’s a slightly different dynamic."

Are Sontarans as scary as Daleks?

"I think Daleks are really menacing. Maybe because you can’t see their faces. But as soon as the Sontarans take their helmets off, some kids will giggle, as they look a bit like a potato!"

On being covered in goo…

"I have to say being out in a freezing quarry and getting in that muddy bog in episode six was easier than doing the gloop scene in episode five! It was definitely my yuckiest ever moment in Doctor Who!"

Read the full interview in the new issue.

This issue of Doctor Who Adventures comes with a free set of Doctor Who monster rollers plus an Ood dress-up kit – which includes yucky Ood fronds! Perfect for an instant Ood appeal.

Other highlights include:

• Win: Design a Dalek and win a fantastic Dalek voice changer helmet!

• Three cool posters: The Doctor, Donna and Agatha Christie from The Unicorn and the Wasp, Martha, and the buzzing Vespiform.

• Tales from the TARDIS: Trouble with Mr Halpen in Planet of the Ood.

• Activity: Make an Ood orb to go with your Ood fronds! Plus a creepy Hath mask!

• Doctor Who Confidential: How a car splashes into the water in The Sontaran Stratagem.

• Doctor's Data: Fourth Doctor facts.

• Comic strip: Something strange is happening on a farm in a new comic strip adventure called Windswept.

• ALL THIS AND LOADS MORE!

Doctor Who Adventures issue 65, priced £2.10, is out on Thursday 22 May. It’s a very Ood issue, so don’t miss it.

Doctor Who Adventures - Faulty Badge

May 24, 2008 • Posted By Marcus

BBC Magazines have asked us to alert readers of Doctor Who Adventures of a faulty pin mechanism on the plastic badge cover-mounted on the current issue of the magazine.

While they don’t believe the badges pose any serious hazard, they are placing adverts in the national press to alert readers to the problem with this badge, and suggest readers dispose of it, and to offer them an alternative free gift.

In a statement BBC Worldwide said it prides itself on the quality of its cover mounts and all cover mounts are required to pass the relevant EU safety regulation tests before going on sale. They added "The relevant safety and quality tests were carried out on this particular item, so we are obviously taking this matter extremely seriously and are investigating it further with our supplier."

I'm assuming this refers to issue 64, because I don't think issue 65 comes with badges.

Just curious, Hoosier - how big are the glasses? Are they designed for a child or could they (maybe) fit an adult? Say, an older teen girl with a medium-ish size head...?

They are the same ones that were used for the squirty promotion, but minus the holes and bulb.

They actually fit on my face, I cant believe I did that but they are too short for the ear pieces to go over my ears. there is no lens plastic in them.

the width is 4 and 7/8's inches and from the eyes to the earloop beginning are 3 and1/2 inches.

I hope that helps. I actually have them on a Teddy Bear with the sonic screwdriver in his hand.

It is probably issue 65. The Ood ID has a pin back that just clips into the hasp and it has a very strong tension to it.

For a careful older child not a problem but I can see where there is a concern. The power rollers are pretty neat that came with the issue by the way.
