Doctor Who Insider - Issue 2

The second edition of Doctor Who Insider will be available in North America from May 5th.

In an exclusive interview, Karen Gillan reveals her thoughts on filming in America, Amy’s on-screen marriage, and what her hopes are for future episodes.
Everyone was nervous when I got a sword in my hand. I would like to take up sword fighting as a hobby. I really, really loved it.
The magazine also talks to one of Gillan's predecessors, Katy Manning, who played Jo Grant opposite Third Doctor Jon Pertwee in the Seventies.

Academic uncovers Dalek fear factor

An academic claims to have solved one of television's most enduring questions - just why are the Daleks so scary?

Dr Robin Bunce said the fear inspired by the creatures, who have sent generations of children scurrying behind sofas, is nothing to do with their robotic cries of "exterminate" or their relentless attempts to conquer the world, but because we are worried we might become like them.

The Cambridge University academic said: "The reason the Daleks are evil is because we recognise that they were once better. They are the nightmare future we dread."
