Newspaper magazine giveaways

2009 magazine giveaway

In summer 2009, the Daily Mirror newspaper promoted the Doctor Who Adventures in a series of giveaway special edition magazines in consecutive Saturday editions, featuring reprinted material from the magazine.

The following four were mini-mags and formed an eight-page pullout in the TV listing magazine.

7 DWA Tenth Doctor Souvenir Special on Saturday 19 December 2009 in the Daily Mirror.^[8]

Issued in the week before The End of Time broadcast, this special issue from the Doctor Who Adventures team included photos and features that included "Who is the Doctor?", "What we love about Who at Christmas!", "The End of Time preview", "Double page Tenth Doctor and Alien foes poster", "Top 10 Tenth Doctor Moments", "Who says? (quotes)", "The 10 Doctors" (plus the Eleventh), and "The Tenth Doctor's Adventures".
Unlike the previous special releases the content was all-new and both written and presented for an older age-group than the weekly Doctor Who Adventures title which may explain why this issue is totally advert free (including the DWA title).
