This is a work of non-fiction.

Unlike other fictional universes, the Doctor Who universe is created solely by fiction. To us, this is not a valid source. Information from this source can only be used in "behind the scenes" sections, or on pages about real world topics.

The Merlin Doctor Who Sticker Collection is licensed by the BBC and published by Topps Europe Ltd.

Merlin Stickers are sold in packs (35p for a packet of six in the UK), that can be collected to fill a sticker album (available separately) from newsagents (priced £1.49 in the UK).

A number of magazines and national newspapers promoted the collection, especially the BBC's own titles, often with free stickers or albums being given away.
