dale the whale - The second issue of Titan’s Torchwood Magazine hit UK stores yesterday, and here’s how the publishers describe the new issue:

“In the explosive second issue of the Official Torchwood Magazine, Eve Myles talks about her journey from curious constable to the heart of Torchwood, as deputy leader and organiser extraordinaire Gwen Cooper in our exclusive interview.

We will also be catching up with Freema Agyeman who will be talking about her character Martha Jones. She’s now a fully qualified doctor, working with unit and ready to help Torchwood with their enquiries. Freema gives us all the details on the more grown up and worldly Martha.

The Official Torchwood Magazine will also be going behind the scenes with Visual FX Coordinator Marie Jones and her team at The Mill, the company responsible for all the computer generated effects on Torchwood. Discover the story behind the building of the 51st Century Boeshane Peninsula for episode five, Adam, and get the buzz on one of the most ambitious effects ever seen in Torchwood, the terrifying Mayfly!”

I’ve had a chance to buy the issue and can confirm that (this month at least) there is no new comic strip. The magazine prints an apology for this, stating that with both a Freema Agyeman and Eve Myles interview, there simply wasn’t room. Hopefully it’ll return with a bang next month, however…

Here’s a quick rundown of what to except from the magazine:

1: The news section - News on the latest three Torchwood novels (due early March) and the already available audio exclusives, “Hidden” and “Everybody Says Hello”. There’s also a report on the ’spectacular’ ratings “Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang” achieved; the final episode titles are revealed (but the internet got there first!) and news on Chris Chibnall joining Law & Order: London (more on this news story below!)

2: Episode Previews - Matt Jones discusses the possibilities of a “Dead Man Walking”; Joseph Lidster spends “A Day in the Death”; Phil Ford jokes about “Something Borrowed”; and Peter J Hammond comes “From Out of the Rain”.

3: Eve Myles - an interview with the star, who plays Gwen Cooper, which was conducted the day that “Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang” aired! She talks about how Gwen changes this year; her love for Rhys; her love for PC Andy, and how proud she feels to be Welsh! Oh, and she’s quite surprised that she’s going to be turned into an action figure, too…

4: Creature Feature - a look at how the Space Whale from “Meat” was created, and how Reset’s Mayflys were brought to life.

5: Freema Agyeman - the name behind Doctor Who’s Martha Jones talks about her short visit to Torchwood shores. She admits to loving Alan Dale, John Barrowman and Burn Gorman
