This month's issue of Dr Who Magazine 619 (@DWMtweets) features a full page article on Virtual Murder, in particular former Dr Who Jon Pertwee's role in A Torch for Silverado, with a brief review of the series. You can buy it in good newsagents or order from Panini for £7.99
My own subscriber copy of DWM 619. The virtual murder coverage was a nice surprise.

24th July is the anniversary of Virtual Murder's first broadcast I'm *toying* with the idea of doing a live Tweetalong at 9.30pm that day. Who knows? Would there be enough interest? Would people be up for that? What hashtag would you suggest? keep it clean!!
