There have been various pieces of news in the last few days, and as such we thought it warranted a quick mid-week roundup. First up, the reviews of Trojan have continued to come in over on Ain’t It Cool News, Cult Hub and one at Den of Geek, the later of which is particularly thorough and echoes many of the sentiments of those that saw the episode being recorded. In print, the latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine due out this week will also feature a full page article on the new Series. It will be in shops from Thursday at a price of £4.99 and you can see a photo of the article from Simon Bromley below:
The Radio Times have also run an interview with Doug Naylor where he talks candidly about the move from the BBC to Dave, Back to Earth and Series X. Doug’s huge enthusiasm is great to see, and you can tell there is a real pride in what has been achieved with the new series, perfectly encapsulated by Doug’s answer to what three words summed up the series; ‘I can give you four. Back. To. Its. Best.’
Digital Spy have been updating with some hugely spoiler laden articles. First up there are a selection of promotional pictures from Trojan. Due to the spoiler within the photos we won’t put the full selection on here, but you can find them by clicking on the shot below:
Finally, Digital Spy have also published a full breakdown of the series with individual episode synopses. These feature some huge spoilers and we advise that many of you may wish to avoid this information.
