Doctor Who Magazine - Issue 419

The cover and info on this month's edition of Doctor Who magazine:

Doctor Who’s new producers reveal more about the new series in Doctor Who Magazine issue 419!
Beth Willis and Piers Wenger, along with head writer Steven Moffat, are the new executive producers of Doctor Who. But just who are Piers and Beth? And what new challenges do they have in store for the Eleventh Doctor and Amy? DWM finds out in an exclusive interview, featuring brand new pics from the Eleventh Doctor’s first episode…

“We wanted to give the look of the series a slightly more storybook, fairy-tale feel,” reveals Piers. “It wasn’t about suddenly becoming Tim Burton, but it was a pinch of that, a pinch of Twilight, a pinch of Harry Potter - but it’s still absolutely, slapbang, mainstream Doctor Who…”
