Project: Torchwood: Articles Welcome to Issue 57

In March, one of Britain’s funniest men, in my opinion, Sir Ken Dodd, passed away, in his 90^th year. What I hadn’t realised until quite recently was that, Ken had appeared in the Doctor Who episode ‘Delta and the Bannermen’.

Sir Ken was a really funny man. His songs, antics and his ventriloquist acts had me in stitches, as a child and as an adult. His ‘Audiences with…’ programmes had tears rolling down my cheeks, and his ‘Dicky Mint’ made me realise that it wasn’t a euphemism for your downstairs buddy but was in fact his Diddy Man character.

Tatty Bye Sir Ken!

This month we’ve a packed Issue, with tons of reviews, articles and a wonderful interview with singer songwriter Ffion Wilkins. As well as our usual look through the latest Big Finish audio and Who episodes and our latest catch up with Mitchell – and how he fared against old Major pincer claws in our final Patience chapter.

With The Sarah Jane Adventures returning to our screens on CBBC for a few months, we will be reviewing each episode or two over the following months, introducing a new reviewer to you.

We’ll also be introducing a new Torchwood reviewer into our team who will read and review the short stories found in the old Torchwood magazines, that many have collected over the years.

Our Buster Smith competition ended abruptly this week after Buster’s story was revealed in a Digital Spy article. (Thanks!)

Francesca Gorman will receive her signed photo of Buster actor Nathan Sussex as soon as they become available. Thank you to everyone who contributed their ideas – they were all brilliant.

Updating the website is taking a bit of time given the number of articles we’ve written over the five years we’ve been running our little magazine. My initial plan had been to have the entire 50 odd Editions completely cleaned up, and covers and updates all completed by next month, but that doesn’t give me enough time to sleep, eat or go to work – so I think it’s going to have to be one of those projects that will be worked on over 12 months and we’ll take it from there.

It’s surprising, and enchanting in a way, going back through old posts and realising how much we’ve grown in confidence and style since the early days, especially with interview techniques, and reviews and articles, in fact, in everything we do.

We’re also thankful that many of you have stuck by us and supported us throughout, and as always, we thank you so much for that.

Right, before I set the Weevil off, best step aside and Welcome you to Issue 57 - WATNOW Random Shoes.
