DWI 6
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Doctor Who Insider #6 was the October 2011 issue of the short-lived North American Doctor Who Magazine sister title. Like many North American magazines, its cover date was misleading. It was actually made available for purchase a month earlier, on 1 September.
