From the Editors: "Elsewhere we have an exclusive episode guide to Doctor Who by the showrunner himself, Russell T Davies. His enthusiasm is infectious and he's clear what he wants from the new series of the sci-fi classic: "I hope it has a new energy. I want it to feel younger, wilder, more lively, a bit more bonkers, more capable of going anywhere." We can't think of a better programme to precede Eurovision this Saturday night". Written by Shem Law.
Contents section tagline: "A guide to the new series by showrunner Russell T Davies".

- "A double bill to start the new series as the Tardis travels to the future and the past. First stop: a space station crewed by babies. Second stop: Abbey Road in 1963 ([pictured] above) for an encounter with the Beatles. Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson star".

"Laughs, leaps & lunacy": "Time-Lord-in-Chief Russell T Davies unleashes his exclusive episode guide".
