The Daleks with the captured Doctor (William Hartnell) in The Mutants aka The Daleks (1963)

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

I do wonder how much of The power of the Doctor was actually written by Russell T Davies.

Certainly the regeneration scene was but how much prior to that? It did seem that the episode improved dramatically in the characterisation in those final five minutes when the likes of William Russell appeared.

The new issue of DWM interviews Davies and director Rachel Talalay (She obviously directed it) about the actual regeneration sequence.

Apparently the new issue has sold out.
They must be thanking God for RTD and Tennant right now.

Yes, sold out at the Panini store.

If that's anything to go by there's going to be a huge upturn in popularity come November next year.
