The Doctor Who Fun Book (in-universe)
- You may be looking for the real-life Fun Book.
The Doctor Who Fun Book or The Dr Who Fun Book was a book which was created in Earth-33⅓ by Quinn and Howett, whose usual job was to create the Doctor's TARDIS's wheezing, groaning "Vworp! Vworp!" sound using a huge bellows. (COMIC: Outta Space [+]Loading...["Outta Space (comic story)"])
When the Fifth Doctor and Tegan Jovanka landed the TARDIS on Earth only to find it had dry rot, a poster advertising the fact The Doctor Who Fun Book was currently on sale was visible on the street corner. (COMIC: The Enemy Within [+]Loading...["The Enemy Within (comic story)"])
Somebody in the BBC canteen was reading it while the Sixth Doctor and Melanie Bush were also there getting food. (COMIC: Doctor Who? 117 [+]Loading...["Doctor Who? (DWM 117 comic story)","''Doctor Who?'' 117"]) Mel was later seen reading it in the TARDIS control room when the Sixth Doctor explained to her how he had defeated every monster in the universe, meaning it was time for him to retire. (COMIC: The Final Script [+]Loading...["The Final Script (comic story)"]) The Seventh Doctor was also seen reading it while leaning onto the TARDIS.

Another person who was waiting to be auditioned by John Nathan-Turner as a Cyberman was also clutching the book. (COMIC: Doctor Who? 125 [+]Loading...["Doctor Who? (DWM 125 comic story)","''Doctor Who?'' 125"])
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Paradoxially, The Final Script itself, one of the stories to mention the Fun Book, was printed in the real-life The Doctor Who Fun Book; one is left to run with the assumption that if she flipped to the right page, Mel would be able to find the page showing her reading the comic itself.
