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.

Interesting bits from within

  • The BBC annual report 2011 showed 'Doctor Who' to be the corporation's biggest international seller with unprecedented growth in the USA over the previous year, with record ratings on BBC AMERICA, third biggest seller on domestic iTunes TV chart (behind Mad Men and Glee).
  • The Doctor Who brand revenue grew by a reported 49%.

Further information

  • This issue had a cover price of $6.99 (US and Canada) with a subscription offering a 10% discount.
  • While printed for a North American market, Panini UK Ltd offered UK readers the chance to subscribe to this title, which was very much seen as a sister title to their long-running Doctor Who Magazine.
  • This issue came with a free double-sided poster featuring a variant on the Eleventh Doctor and Madame Vastra cover photograph and the First Doctor working at the TARDIS console on the reverse (from this issue's Factfile).
