The Fourth Doctor once wrote a letter on 42 Paztenmber (relative to 1845 "Earth-time"), and delivered it to a post office on Ganymede, to ensure that his letter would reach Doctor Who Weekly in time to be printed in the 1st issue. The Doctor asked his readers if they enjoyed the first issue, and if so, to send in letters of their own to his "Terra-bound colleagues".
In a second letter, the Doctor gave instructions on how to use the rub-down action transfers included in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th issues of the magazine. (PROSE: A Letter from the Doctor [+]Loading...["A Letter from the Doctor (DWM 1 short story)","A Letter from the Doctor"])
In a parallel universe in which the Doctor's universe existed only as part of a BBC science fiction television series called Doctor Who, the Eighth Doctor discovered the nature of this universe when he found the first issue of the magazine on 12 October 1979.
