Following The Wall of Lies 159’s story on satirical magazine Private Eye’s interest in Doctor Who production gossip we were contacted by Adam Macqueen, a writer on the journal. He said “If you check issue 401, from 29 April 1977, you'll note that the Eye was the first place to reveal that Tom Baker was getting ‘a mechanical robot dog, called K9’ as a companion.” “This was a full, two months before he was O u unveiled to the press --- so it's a long-running S t So thing!” on n!

The production of Doctor Who series ten began in May 2016 with filming of unknown episodes. However, as in The Wall of Lies 159 (March - April 2016) this SFSA magazine # 33 will be held over for a year before broadcast. ABC retains the life of series deal which guarantees they will have the first option on the series, however they were O u unable to commit when contacted by The Wall of Lies. They also revealed that N t No ow they were taken by surprise by the hiatus and found out when it was publicised by ! the BBC on 23 January 2016. Incoming producer Chris Chibnall will begin work in 2018. A similar hiatus in 2009 was because producer Russell T Davies and star David Tennant wanted to move on but incoming producer Steven Moffat was not ready to take over until 2010. A compromise was reached with three specials rather than thirteen episodes pro- duced. The hiatus in 1985 was caused by the BBC cancelling a season, with no production for eighteen months. On 23 April the BBC announced Pearl Mackie had been cast as new companion Bill, possibly as this would not have remained a secret for over a year until the SFSA magazine # 32 series launch.
