Several issues of the original [[2005 (releases)|2005]] incarnation of ''[[Doctor Who Adventures]]'' opened with a letter to the reader written by the [[Eleventh Doctor]]. Though they lacked an official title, they typically opened with the greeting, "'''''Hello, Time Travellers!'''''", with later editions going for a simpler "'''''Hello There!'''''", "'''''Hi there!'''''", or "'''''Hello!'''''". For simplicity's sake, this overview page shall go with the former title.
'''''Hello, Time Travellers''''' - as it was known for the majority of its run, before alternating between being titled '''''Hello There!''''' and, simply, '''''Hello!''''' - was a series of short stories that served as introductions to each issue of ''[[Doctor Who Adventures]]'', beginning in [[DWA 214]], and lasting until [[DWA 335]].


The letters typically consisted of relatively short messages from the Doctor, in which he remarked on certain current events, or told readers what to expect from the issue they are reading.
Written from an in-universe perspective by the [[Eleventh Doctor]], each instalment typically gave readers teasers as to the kind of content that awaited them in the respective issue, typically accompanied by anecdotes from the Doctor's adventures, sometimes in relation to his most recent televised adventures. The column would, occasionally, also be highjacked by another entity, such as one of the Doctor's enemies.


This practice began in [[DWA 217]] and lasted until [[DWA 335]], after which point the magazine switched to similar messages, but now written by the magazine's real-world editor, [[Moray Laing]]. The concept was later revisited for the magazine's [[2015 (releases)|2015]] relaunch, with letters from the [[Twelfth Doctor]] under the header, ''[[Dear Readers (series)|Dear Readers]]''.
After its final instalment, the magazine switched to similar messages now written by the magazine's real-world editor, [[Moray Laing]]. The concept of the Doctor introducing each issue was later revisited for the magazine's relaunch under [[Panini Comics]], with letters from the [[Twelfth Doctor]] under the header, ''[[Dear Readers (series)|Dear Readers]]''.

Hello, Time Travellers - as it was known for the majority of its run, before alternating between being titled Hello There! and, simply, Hello! - was a series of short stories that served as introductions to each issue of Doctor Who Adventures, beginning in DWA 214, and lasting until DWA 335.

Written from an in-universe perspective by the Eleventh Doctor, each instalment typically gave readers teasers as to the kind of content that awaited them in the respective issue, typically accompanied by anecdotes from the Doctor's adventures, sometimes in relation to his most recent televised adventures. The column would, occasionally, also be highjacked by another entity, such as one of the Doctor's enemies.

After its final instalment, the magazine switched to similar messages now written by the magazine's real-world editor, Moray Laing. The concept of the Doctor introducing each issue was later revisited for the magazine's relaunch under Panini Comics, with letters from the Twelfth Doctor under the header, Dear Readers.
