The 5031st issue of Radio Times was published on 28 November, and covered television listings for 5 - 11 December 2020.
It previewed the then-upcoming New Year Special, Revolution of the Daleks.
Contents
- Cover tagline: "CALL THE DOCTOR! Freeze! The Daleks are back with a chilling new look".
- Contents: "The Daleks have been with us for 57 years - this time round they really are terrifying".
- This issue's message for the editors also opens with an acknowledgement of Doctor Who.
- "Stand by your sofa! - There's a familiar foe Waiting in Christmas break... yes, the Daleks are back on Doctor Who. After their absence for nearly a year, you won't be surprised to know a lot of careful planning has gone into fine-tuning a British TV classic and ratcheting up the fear levels on, arguably, one of sci-fis greatest villains. Turn to page 8 to read how the brains behind the latest incarnation of the Doctor's greatest enemy reinvented the skirted killing machines from Skaro.
- Article: "Rebirth of the Daleks" by Huw Fullerton.
- "Doctor Who's archenemy has undergone a facelift. Showrunner Chris Chibnall and producer Matt Strevens reveal the secrets of the Daleks' new look - and their lasting power to terrify".
- Sub-article: "I love being killed by Daleks!" also by Fullerton.

Notes
- The issue and its Doctor Who-related content was previewed at the end of the previous issue, with the tagline: "Next week: Look who's back! [followed by a publicity shot of Jodie Whittaker as the Doctor] On sale Saturday 28 November".
- As is standard for the final two issues leading up to the bumper Christmas issue, this issue is pulled forward from its usual Tuesday release for a Saturday release.
- Other features in this issue that are advertised on the cover include a look back on 60 years of Coronation Street alongside regular Corrie star, and former The Idiot's Lantern guest actor, Maureen Lipman.
