Doctor Who Magazine – Legends: Patrick Troughton

Blogtor Who - Mon, 07/20/2026 - 19:00
The second in Doctor Who Magazine’s Legends series examines the career of Second Doctor Patrick Troughton, and how he changed the character forever

 

Doctor Who Magazine presents the second issue of Legends – a special tribute to actor Patrick Troughton. “It’s 60 years since Troughton was cast as the Doctor,” says editor Marcus Hearn. “William Hartnell had already made an indelible impact in the role, but the endearing ‘cosmic hobo’ that Troughton created was the version of the Doctor that gave the series practically limitless potential.

“This is the most detailed analysis of Troughton’s life and career that DWMhas ever published,” he continues. “It’s a revealing look at the style and techniques that made him the Doctors’ Doctor, as well as an unflinching account of an enigmatic actor with a complicated private life.”

 

Highlights include:
  • A rare interview with Patrick Troughton, conducted in 1984.
  • New interviews with Troughton’s Doctor Who co-stars Nicola Bryant, Frazer Hines, Katy Manning, Wendy Padbury and Anneke Wills.
  • Script to screen on classic Troughton stories The Faceless Ones, The Web of Fear, The War Games and The Five Doctors.
  • A deep dive into each of Troughton’s seasons as the Time Lord, and his wider acting career.
  • Michael Troughton describes growing up with – and without – his famous father.
  • The evolution of the Second Doctor’s costume and best-known props.
  • The truth behind Troughton’s departure from the series – and the curious legacy of his decision.
  • The inside story of the day Doctor Who Magazine met Troughton.

Doctor Who: Peace at Last – Out Now

Blogtor Who - Sun, 07/19/2026 - 21:00
Rutans vs Sontarans reaches its climax in Peace at Last, out now from Big Finish

One war has stretched throughout the history of the Doctor Who universe. Since 1973’s The Time Warrior introduced the Sontarans, they’ve been in a seemingly endless conflict with the Rutans. But now, a conclusion may finally be in sight… Big Finish’s Rutans vs Sontarans series began with the very first stages of the war, and the fourth and final instalment – Peace at Last by Tim Foley, is out now – is set at what could be its end, as the Sontarans propose a peace deal.

The Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann), Charley Pollard (India Fisher) and C’rizz (Conrad Westmaas) are present to help out, but the ceasefire is a fragile one – there’s a lot of work to do to ensure the peace will last, and there are forces at work to ensure it doesn’t…

The guest cast of Peace at Last includes Dan Starkey (known for playing many Sontarans on television as General Greff, Ajjaz Awad as Selina Carr, Cecelia Appiah as the Rutan Ambassador, and Jonathon Carley as Scur/Hurgo.

 

The universe may soon known peace, but who will be left alive to enjoy it?

Writer Tim Foley said: “I love Charley and C’rizz, and I still haven’t quite forgiven Lizzie Hopley, who wrestled me to the floor in the previous miniseries to write for them. So this time, it was my time to shine with them. I don’t want to make people feel old, but I grew up with them, and they were such a good TARDIS team.

“The title of this story is Peace at Last, as we wanted to play with the idea of the very end of the Rutan-Sontaran War, though maybe it has a double meaning! It’s fun to imagine this eternal war – what were its murky beginnings, and what are its murky ends. And in that way, it really reflects the events of episode one, which kicked off the whole debacle.”

On the precipice of peace it stands…

After the destruction of a major stronghold, the Sontarans propose something extraordinary. More extraordinary still, the Rutans say yes. The Doctor, Charley and C’rizz are on hand to watch history being made.

Yet history has other ideas. A plan that has taken centuries is about to come to fruition. The Melmoth is returning.

 

Doctor Who – Rutans vs Sontarans: Peace at Last is now available to purchase for just £9.99 (as a digital download to own) or £14.99 (download + collector’s edition CD), exclusively herePlease note: the collector’s edition CD is strictly limited to 1,500 copies and will not be re-pressed.

REVIEW: Doctor Who: Circle of Memory

Blogtor Who - Sun, 07/19/2026 - 14:00
The latest BBC Audio original remixes a classic Doctor Who in the style of another era, with pleasing results

Circle of Memory is the latest offering in BBC Audio’s range of original Doctor Who audio dramas. In many ways it’s William Hartnell classic The Savages reborn for the Matt Smith age. It begins in the middle, in true Moffat style. Three strangers awake near a mysterious stone circle, with no memory of how they got there. They’re “Amy and her boys, Rory and the Doctor,” according to the Polaroid photo they carry. But beyond that their only clue is a Dictaphone recording explaining the story so far.

As the recording plays out, it becomes clear our heroes are trapped on a planet where something or someone is parasitically living off the vitality of others. They’ve clearly already fallen victim to at least one attack themselves. And since they can no longer even operate the TARDIS, how can they escape? This mystery angle is another way in which Circle of Memory grounds itself firmly in the milieu of 2010s Doctor Who. The Savages may have attempted to subvert expectations with the Elders, in gold makeup and fine clothes, revealed as villains, but that was a skewering of exploitation and colonialism any child would instantly recognize. But Circle of Memory keeps its secrets much closer. The dynamics of the planet’s ecosystem take longer to reveal themselves.(At least if you avoid reading the official blurb which rather gives the final act twist away.)

And when they do, they may not be entirely what listeners expected.

 

Circle of Memory is a gently untaxing slice of Doctor Who, perfect for departure lounges or road trips

With a resolution also borrowing heavily from The Savages, the various plot twists of Circle of Memory won’t be too jaw dropping to anyone familiar with the earlier story. But there’s still a pleasing novelty to hearing it all play out through the eyes of the Eleventh Doctor and his friends. Dan Starkey reads with a gentle irony, as if with one eyebrow permanently raised. There’s no real attempt at impersonation of our leads, but his diffident Doctor, cautious Rory, and gung ho Amy capture their essences well.

As with most of the BBC Audio originals, the adventure feels all too brief, despite being about half as long again as a television episode of the modern era. But for the next time you’re commuting, or hitting the treadmill, it’s just right for spending that time with the good Doctor and his friends.

 

Doctor Who: Circle of Memory (c) BBC Audio Doctor Who: Circle of Memory

“Hello, I’m the Doctor… Doctor someone… can’t remember who at the moment. Hoping it will come back to me.”

On a planet with twin suns, three people wake in the shadow of a crashed spaceship. They don’t know who they are or where they are. All they have to go on is a photograph of themselves marked ‘Amy and her boys: Rory and the Doctor’. It’s obvious who Amy is – but which of them is the Doctor?

A voice recorder in one of their pockets reveals how the TARDIS materialised some days earlier in the centre of a stone circle and the travellers met blue-skinned Sunaya, apparent sole survivor of the crashed ship.

Yet Sunaya isn’t who she claims to be, and she is also far from alone. She and her children have been waiting to feed on the memories and identities of the living.

And as their own memories fade, the Doctor, Amy and Rory are in danger of being left behind for ever…

Doctor Who Matt Smith Stars in Quinn Erotic Drama The Wolf

Blogtor Who - Sat, 07/18/2026 - 22:00
Doctor Who’s Matt Smith performs the new Quinn erotic drama The Wolf, available now

Doctor Who and House of the Dragon star Matt Smith has joined the roster of talent at Quinn. The world’s leading producer of erotic audio dramas has been growing in popularity, particularly among female listeners, since it launched in 2021. Along with high production values, this has helped it attract celebrity readers such as Andrew Scott and Jamie Campbell Bower. Smith performs three episode noir thriller The Wolf. He takes on the role of private investigator James Pierce, lured to the villa of ruthless billionaire Gregory Barclay under false pretenses. Pierce quickly develops a passionate connection to Barclay’s wife Rosalind. But can he really trust her, or anyone else?

As with most Quinn stories, in The Wolf the reader performs in character, with Smith addressing the listener directly as if they were Rosalind.

Matt Smith describes The Wolf as “a dangerous, sexy, seductive murder mystery. The listener is dropped into a very glamorous world. I think this series is for anyone who loves a good murder mystery, and also loves a bit of eroticism in their murder mysteries.”

On the “interesting challenge,” of working in Quinn’s trademark format, Smith said “There’s a great team around you at Quinn. I think there’s something really liberating about telling a story in this way, in this form, and in this tone.”

All three episodes of The Wolf are available now on the Quinn app to subscribers. As of writing, no choice quotes have been mischievously repurposed by Eleventh Doctor cosplayers on TikTok. But Blogtor Who presumes it’s only a matter of time.

Meanwhile, Smith fans can also catch the actor as Daemon Targaryen in the third season of Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, with new episodes every Sunday.

REVIEW: Doctor Who: Adversary of the Daleks

Blogtor Who - Sat, 07/18/2026 - 19:00
The Fugitive Doctor starts her quest across time and space in a fun and engaging comic

Opening chapter Calling the Doctor set out the parameters for what to expect from Doctor Who’s latest multimedia event Circuit Breaker. Someone is messing with time, removing objects from vital pivot points in history and relocating them to UNIT’s Black Archive. It’s bad enough these objects are giving off dangerous energies, threatening to rip time and space apart in modern London. But more than that, they’re all related somehow to the Doctor. Their absence from their proper place may well have corrupted the Time Lord’s timeline. In fact Osgood fears it may have even erased their existence all together. Osgood and her assistant Andrew have realized that only an incarnation from before the earliest object can help them. An incarnation known as… the Fugitive.

Titan Comics’ Adversary of the Daleks picks up the action in comic book form. The Fugitive Doctor selects a Dalek gun-stick as her first object to return. It’s basically a random choice, with her asking “What’s a Dalek?” when Osgood and Andrew show concern. Improbably, her quest takes her to ancient Greece, where local villager know for a fact the Olympian gods are real… because they’ve seen them in person. The Doctor decides to get to the truth. Before long, though, humans, gods, and Time Lord alike must face the power of the Daleks.

 

The underlying character tensions between the Doctor and UNIT never quite convince, due to the Fugitive never really being as badly behaved as their reactions suggest

Beyond this basic action, Adversary of the Daleks establishes some of Circuit Breaker’s underlying tensions. The Fugitive is only here reluctantly, and perfectly prepared to walk away if pushed too hard. From her point of view, her future isn’t set, and she’s not convinced the fate of her potential future incarnations are her concern. Besides which, she’s not even sure she likes the sound of these soppy do-gooders she allegedly becomes.

Meanwhile, Osgood and Andrew are shocked by this regeneration’s seeming callousness and blunt manner. Unfortunately, this aspect isn’t entirely convincing. It’s a good concept in principle. The Fugitive Doctor is after all described as a more ruthless, violent, and cold-blooded version than the ones we know. However, like the War Doctor before her (or after her… well, you know what Blogtor means), she’s limited by the fact the BBC naturally don’t really want to show any Doctor doing too immoral.

The result is a great deal of talk about how different, even horrible, the Fugitive is. She’s impatient, and has no time for whimsy, while ready to berate stupid pudding brained apes when they mess up her plan. But she’s neither cruel nor cowardly. Her first instinct when she sees people in trouble is to help, and when she sees a bully she drops what she’s doing to stand up to them. On the scale of these things, she’s no more brusque or judgemental than the Sixth or Twelfth Doctors.

As a result, it makes the UNIT team’s criticism seem more like a plot device, rather than something flowing naturally from anything she’s actually done.

 

As a one part Dalek comic, Adversary is a fun time spent in the company of this most mysterious incarnation

That said, the one part story is a fun, if straightforward, Dalek tale. Dulce Montoya and Dan Watters’ scrip also does a credible job of establishing in just a few pages the character dynamics that will carry Circuit Breaker into all the full length novels and audio plays to follow. Roberta Ingranata’s art, meanwhile, is as stylish and imaginative as ever.

As with most of Circuit Breaker, Adversary of the Daleks works well both as a standalone comic and part of the wider arc. It’s not compulsory reading, or likely to challenge Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey for hit Greek myth of the summer. But it’s nevertheless a fun read, and time spent with the Fugitive Doctor is never wasted.

Doctor Who: The Kaleidoscope – Smith & Jones Together Again!

Blogtor Who - Fri, 07/17/2026 - 13:00
The Fugitive Doctor and Martha Jones team up to battle the Silence in a new installment of Circuit Breaker

Back in January, Blogtor Who brought you news that the Fugitive Doctor herself, Jo Martin, would be penning her debut novel. It’s part of this year’s multimedia Doctor Who event Circuit Breaker, and more details on the book are now available.

The Kaleidoscope continues the Fugitive Doctor’s quest to save the Earth by returning mysterious objects to their proper place in the timeline before time and space themselves fall apart. This earliest incarnation has already encountered classic foes like the Daleks – enemies this incarnation has no memory of due to not having met them yet. However, this time she has a whole other reason for the gaps in her memory. Because the Silence have plans of their own…

Fortunately, the Doctor has a new old friend to help: Dr. Martha Jones. Martha’s never been afraid to call out the Doctor on their bad behaviour. So what will she make of the Fugitive? The book also features the debut of the Fugitive’s very own sonic screwdriver.

Though this is Jo Martin’s first novel, she has previously written stage plays and audio dramas, as well as co-writing television scripts. The Kaleidoscope may be the most exciting entry yet in the Doctor Who celebrity author range. It arrives at all good retailers on the 3rd of September, and you can find pre-order links here.

When memories lie, the truth can be fatal.

In the aftermath of an improbable mission, the Fugitive Doctor and Martha realise that something is interfering with their minds. Something that doesn’t want to be found.

Their investigation leads to a curious artefact in the British Museum: an apparently medieval toy known as the Kaleidoscope. But the object refuses to stay in one place, one time – or one identity. And when the Doctor is repeatedly mistaken for someone she’s never met, fragments of unfamiliar memories begin to surface.

Across the Earth, a hidden pattern emerges; evidence of a secret that someone has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal. As ancient enemies close in and innocent lives are put at risk, the Doctor learns the hard way that some truths were buried for a reason…

Doctor Who: Adversary of the Daleks – OUT NOW!

Blogtor Who - Mon, 07/13/2026 - 12:00
Circuit Breaker continues with Adversary of the Daleks, out now from Titan Comics!

Circuit Breaker has already kicked off with Calling the Doctor, free on the UNIT website. From there it will continue all summer, in books, audios, and more. Part of the epic storyline takes place across two new issues from Titan Comics. The first of these is titled Adversary of the Daleks and is out now!

In Circuit Breaker’s overall story arc UNIT scientist Osgood discovers that items from the highly secure Black Archive have gone missing. Worse, these powerful alien artifacts could also tear reality itself apart. But when Osgood summons the Doctor for help, she comes face to face with a stranger. In Adversary of the Daleks, the Doctor and Osgood begin their quest to put things right and immediately run straight into conflict with the Daleks. The Time Lord would appear to be at a disadvantage, against an unfamiliar threat that seems to know her better than she knows herself. But then again, the Fugitive Doctor is more ruthless than any incarnation the Daleks have ever met before…

Adversary of the Daleks is written by Dolce M Montoya and Dan Watters. Watters also wrote the recent Doctor Who series Everyone Must Go! and The Prison Paradox as well as the acclaimed Batman series Dark Patterns.

REVIEW: Doctor Who: The TV Movie Blu-ray

Blogtor Who - Sat, 07/11/2026 - 20:00
The TV Movie looks better than ever in a new 4K remastering

It’s time to party like it’s 1999 because the Doctor Who TV Movie is back, and it’s looking better than ever. It’s undoubtedly one of the most re-released stories in the history of the series. Yet, this new version certainly justifies any double, triple, or even quadruple, dipping it asks of fans. Produced as a co-production with Universal Studios the movie was always a sumptuous affair by Doctor Who standards. It was shot entirely on 35mm film, with none of the sudden switches to video tape any time characters moved indoors that typified the BBC made episodes. Now, however, that original 35mm footage has been rediscovered in a Universal storage facility. Thanks to that, the painstakingly remastered Blu-ray edition looks incredible, even in 4K.

In a way it simply emphasises how stylish it’s always been. For years, there was a lingering reverse snobbery about it among some corners of fandom. A belief, perhaps, that Doctor Who actually should be wobbly sets, dodgy rubber monsters, and fuzzy videotape. However, more than twenty years since the show’s revival, the sort of fun transitions and smooth blocking that punctuate Geoffrey Sax’s direction seem much more familiar. That said, these 90 minutes are still more packed with gorgeous lighting and beautiful direction than your everyday Who. Cameras rotate as they travel down empty hospital corridors, the torture device intended for the Doctor is first glimpsed in a mirror, and the Doctor’s rebirth swaps back and forth with footage from Universal’s own Frankenstein.

There’s only disadvantage this new upgrade, in fact. The lace front of Paul McGann’s wig is rather more obvious to eagle eyed viewers than before.

 

The new set reuses pre-existing commentaries and info text, however 2010’s The Seven Year Hitch is as compelling as ever

Having been around the block a few times now, the Doctor Who TV Movie already comes with a healthy package of existing extras. Inevitably, these are a bit of mixed bag. 2010’s The Seven Year Hitch continues to be one of the most compelling Making Of documentaries in the Whoniverse. It’s a frank recollection of the difficulties involved in the dramatic, and sometimes frustrating, battle to get the beloved Time Lord back on our screens. On one side of the Atlantic, Philip Segal battles against the BBC’s disinterest in the show. It’s a lack of faith which sometimes tips over into outright hostility towards the project. On the other, he struggles to infect luminaries like Steven Spielberg with his love of the show.

There are also two commentaries, one by Sax, and the other by erstwhile Doctors McGann and Sylvester McCoy, both hail from the early days of DVD commentaries. It was a time when contributors weren’t entirely comfortable with the format yet. As a result, they’re both rather tentative in their own way. The two Doctors provide a rather low key round of anecdotes. Meanwhile, Sax’s is very dry, with some rather redundant observations like noting every time the Master-snake appears that it was CGI.

Most disappointing perhaps, is the decision not to update the original Info Text, leading to oddities like it claiming Paul McGann never played the Doctor on screen again.

 

The set also has new interviews with almost all the major players with one notable exception

Sax is much more enthusiastic form 25 years later when In Conversation with Matthew Sweet. It’s one of the highlights of the set, revealing the director as a deeply imaginative creator responsible for many of the best things about the TV Movie. He’s also almost pathologically humble, to the point that even Sweet scoffs. McCoy is similarly revitalised compared to his commentary performance, this time in an interview with Doctor Who’s own Janet Fielding. Unexpectedly though, the main takeaway is a new appreciation for the genius and generosity of their mutual friend and collaborator Ken Campbell.

Paul McGann has always drawn special praise for how quickly he nails his version of the Doctor. But rare behind the scenes footage here will deepen your appreciation of just how fragile and magical that is. During his audition a single two word note (“More excited,”) suddenly brings the Eighth Doctor we’ve known and loved for a quarter century since to instant life. It’s a testament to McGann’s skill that he infers so much about the character’s entire personality from that simple note.

In between all this, there are gems like the TARDIS model footage from the opening credits, and an isolated soundtrack. The latter in particular is really elevated by not being in competition with the bombastic dialogue and sound effects.

It’s just a shame there isn’t more of Paul McGann himself here. But then again, any plans for a new McGann commentary and In Conversation can be held as selling points to justify quintuple dipping for the inevitable Collection Wilderness Years set…

The Doctor is returning home to Gallifrey with the remains of his arch-nemesis, the Master. Forced off course, the TARDIS arrives in San Francisco on New Year’s Eve 1999, where the Doctor is critically wounded in a gangland gun battle. At the local hospital, Dr Grace Holloway fights – and fails – to save his life.

Later, in the morgue, the Doctor wakes up a new man. But he is not the only one – the Master has also found himself a new body. As the clock counts down to the start of the new millennium, can the Doctor stop his oldest enemy destroying all life on Earth?
