Professional Detectives Now Assigned to Lucy Beale Murder Case...

Lt. Columbo has just one more thing to ask Ian Beale

Given that the police are making such a fudge up of investigating the murder of Lucy Beale in Walford, I've called in a few favours and employed some professionals to look into it. They are all pretty good and usually get their man (or woman) within an hour or so...

NOT twelve bloody months!!!

Suave Simon Templar will apply his charm to the Walford ladies

Artificial Simon Templar will stake out Arthur's bench

Jim Rockford will ask for directions and get punched by Phil Mitchell

Frank Cannon will check out the cafe

An Apology

Following three complaints to the industry regulator OfSpell, we would like to apologise to our readers for the use of an erroneous apostrophe in one of our magazine covers recently.

We regret the distress caused and hope that it did not inconvenience our readers too much.

We have now taken the opportunity to correct this error - together with several others - and present the magazine cover again at no extra charge.

Once again, our apologies for the distress that our failure has caused.

The Management.

And the new Doctor Who is...

One of the great things about 'Doctor Who' when it was off the air was the constant speculation about not just when it was coming back but also who was going to play the Doctor when it did.

At some point every actor with an Equity card has been linked to the role from David Hasselhoff to Eric Idle to Ken Dodd to someone called David Burton.

There's a load of could-have-been Doctors out there and I'm sure their first appearances in the official 'Doctor Who' Magazine would be one of the highlights of their careers...

Classic typo

Crossroads novels.... Lots of 'em!

Click for larger

Malcolm Hulke - the television writer who created the Silurians and the Sea Devils on 'Doctor Who' - was one of the main writers on Crossroads back in the 70s. When his mate Terrance Dicks got the gig to write all those hundreds of novelisations of 'Doctor Who' adventures, he thought he could do the same on 'Crossroads' and badgered the editors at Target Books until they gave in.

He - and a few friends - managed just over 25 before his typewriter was taken off him.
