Strange choice of episodes, but I can see it being good for those who don't have them already. I only wish there was more Donna

I was skeptical at first, considering when the news seemed to come out, but apparently in the new DWM, it's confirmed that the BBC has commissioned Doctor Who for the next five years. I imagine the speculated demise of Top Gear following that Clarkson business has BBCWW interested in securing its other major cash cow.

Makes sense. So this takes us up to Series 13, correct?

Top Gear is not being cancelled. The BBC renewed it through 2016, I believe.

I never said it was being cancelled. The removal of Jeremy Clarkson from the program, however, has a lot of people projecting its fall from grace. It makes sense for BBCWW to hedge its bets in the event the popularity of Top Gear does decline.

I believe that is what it means. It takes forever to get my hands on DWM here in the back end of nowhere, so I haven't seen the issue in question personally yet.

I should have got mine yesterday, but it hasn't come in. I feel like I'm going to need a new subscription...

I need to get an international subscription. Since the local Borders closed I have to grab it at one of the comic shops in town and they run about a month behind, if that close.

That is pretty bad... I can post any news I find, if I sort the lack of magazine soon. Probably next week.
