Additional details

  • Published every two weeks on a Thursday this issue had a cover price of £1.99 (UK). The first three issues were all tagged as NEW and featured a foil logo.
  • The subscription offer for this issue was a saving of over £6 (UK). No other incentive offered.
  • This issue's free gift of a TARDIS clock was selotaped to the cover; some issues were missing the "Police Public Call Box" sticker above the TARDIS door.
  • Next issues free gift is named as a radio (unless you buy your copy at Tesco's in which case you'll get the TARDIS clock from last issue having got the radio last time!).
  • The need to offer an alternative free gift is believed to be attributed to Tesco's needing to re-plan their display of the magazine because of its bulky size.
  • The TARDIS noise "VWORP! VWORP!" in the comic strip is an established sound used in the Doctor Who Magazine comic strips and originating in the Target Books range of novelisations.
  • This cover as well as that of DWA Issue 5 were expanded and used at the Doctor Who Exhibition in Cardiff.
