DWM 182
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The 182nd issue of Doctor Who Magazine was published on 26 December 1991. Its cover date should have been 22 January 1992, but a typo gave it the same cover date as the previous issue: Christmas 1991. In any event, it was replaced on 23 January 1992 by the next issue.
This was John Freeman's first issue as editor.
