The forty-fourth issue of the Doctor Who DVD Files - "The Ultimate Build-up Doctor Who Encyclopaedia" had a cover date of 8 September 2010.
Contents
Collectable loose leaf pages divided into seven categories that could be filed accordingly.
- Part 44 Friends and Foes The Tenth Doctor's adventures in time and space begin.
- Jake Simmonds This member of the Preachers helped to save two worlds.

DVD release (with cover blurb)
- Each issue came with a DVD release.
- Reversible DVD sleeves enabled the collector to display one of two designs featuring either the Doctor and his enemies or his companions.
- "Listen to that! It's the sound of a planet screaming out its rage!"
- Professor Stahlman's drilling project is going to crack open the Earth's crust and release a gas that will provide the planet with a new source of power. At least that's the plan. When the drill unearths a mysterious green slime that transforms them around it into snarling primitive monsters, it's clear something has gone wrong — but Stahlman keeps on drilling! As people start to die and UNIT loses control, all eyes turn to the Doctor. But the Time Lord is trapped in a parallel universe where freedom is an illusion and the end of the world is just around the corner...
