Doctor Who producer Caro Skinner talks exclusively to SFX in a major interview in the new issue, #233, in the shops on Wednesday. The feature covers a lot of ground, but here are a couple of highlights to whet your appetite, and she talks about Neil Gaiman ’s take on the Cybermen and a designer‘s dream:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0132324

As for “Journey To The Centre Of The TARDIS” she says, “Our designer Michael Pickwoad should probably be credited as special guest star on quite a few of our episodes this year, because some of the sets and the vistas that he’s accomplished are just absolutely mindblowing, not least in the detail but in the imagination. And obviously an episode with that title is a designer’s dream. He went away and came back with piles worth of sketches that would make any fan explode.”
