Additional details

  • Released prior to broadcast of XXX
  • Originally available priced 30p, (UK) this magazine special was reprinted in 2003 and was offered exclusively through Radio Times.
  • An insert with all copies stated that;
“Every effort has been made to source the original photographs but regrettably, not all of the originals survive. In such cases, we have either used similar images or have re-scanned from the original magazine resulting in a slightly grainy image.
Following the pattern of the original magazine, the headings in the story guide are those of the first episode in each story, up to The Gunfighters, after which individual names were abandoned.
Please note that the information at the base of page 3 is largely out-of-date, as is the cover price of 30p!”
  • “Producer Barry Letts and Script Editor Terrance Dicks are the only full-time members of the Dr Who team. Says Letts: “Dr Who’s success is that it doesn’t have a formula – it’s flexible. The Doctor’s appeal is that he’s a superman – and yet he’s fallible. Supermen are always interesting, but they’re that that much more interesting if they’re a bit human too. And we try and make everything that happens scientifically plausible – like monsters landing in London – and interpret it as logically and realistically as possible. The Doctor is a good strongly moral man, who always searches for peaceful solutions.”
  • In 2007 it was reprinted in Australia and New Zealand by the ABC. (ISBN 0-7333-1950-5)
