The 1st issue of Doctor Who Magazine was released on 17 October 1979 and came with free transfers. After noticing the popularity of Doctor Who-related content in the Marvel UK magazine Starburst, editor Dez Skinn created Doctor Who Weekly. This was released every Thursday.
When DWM 400 was released in October 2008, it included a poster featuring David Tennant's Tenth Doctor reading issue one. It also included an interview in which Tennant claimed to still have his transfers.
