A Letter from the Doctor (DWM 2 short story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
A Letter from the Doctor was a short story printed in DWM 2, and was the second in the A Letter from the Doctor series. It was structured as a letter "written" by the Fourth Doctor to the readers of Doctor Who Weekly.
The story was actually written by Dez Skinn, a fact he kept concealed for many years until he revealed it on his website.[1]
Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Fourth Doctor muses on smoked klim-bait, which is being sent in the same container as the letter which he is writing, and entreats the readers of the magazine to write in and give their thoughts on either it or the tv show, or even both.
