Magazine Appearance and Links

On Thursday 12 November 2015, issue #493 of Doctor Who Magazine was released, and it featured a photo of Derek and me on page 13.



It was a nice little cherry to round off what had been a fantastic year.

For information on all the Dalek props used in the making of The Magician’s Apprentice” and “The Witch’s Familiar”, including Derek, have a look at this website:

It is a fantastic resource that documents the history of every Dalek prop ever used in the entire history of Doctor Who. I cannot overstate the amount of time and effort that must have gone into the collating of this site and I would recommend any Dalek fans to check it out

Rather excitingly, since the airing of these episodes, someone has created a page for me over at the TARDIS Data Core Wikia:

http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/David_Hobday

And I have been added to the cast lists for The Magician’s Apprentice” and “The Witch’s Familiar.




On a side note, I also had an article published on the Doctor Who TV website, suggesting a possible theory about why we no longer see the divisive Paradigm Daleks.

Tonight’s the Night

The Magician’s Apprentice” airs on BBC 1 at 7:40pm tonight.



However, since it is only part one of a two part adventure, I shan’t release my posts until after “The Witch’s Familiar” has also aired. Spoilers and all that!

A Childhood Dream

This year I achieved one of my childhood dreams; I played a Dalek in Doctor Who!

On 12 August 2015 the second trailer for Series 9 was released, and it included a shot of the Daleks, including mine (the grey and black Remembrance model on the stage at the far right).


As soon as the episode has aired, I shall use this blog to recount how this fantastic experience transpired.
