Additional details
- Priced 75p, (UK) this issue's cover photograph features the Sixth Doctor. Rather unusual is an alternative cover for this issue, printed on the back cover featuring the Fifth Doctor, not quite a pin-up as it has the current logo date and price details in the top corner. (See above)
- To The TARDIS features a letter and a reply from Michael Grade at the BBC who states, “I believe I have said everything I have to say about Doctor Who for the time being and see no purpose in restating my position which is well enough documented.”
- The Frank Bellamy article is adapted from ‘Doctor Who: Timeview’ published by Who Dares Publishing.
- Nostalgia is a new feature reflecting readers' memories of older stories.
