Additional details
- The year is not displayed on the front cover.
- The main cover image of the Fifth Doctor was a promotional shot for the new Doctor.
- The Photo-File is credited to Jeremy Bentham with thanks to Linda Williams for research help.
- The Dalek Tapes continue as a back-up comic strip. This time the first page is printed nearly unedited, while the opening and closing blocks of the other three pages are still in black and white.
- The two pages of the Season Survey are printed in the smallest possible type font - the same as the credits; fortunately, the background was white!
