Additional details[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Andrew Pixley (co-editor of 'Time Screen') takes over the main Archive feature from this issue, which had a cover price of £1 (UK) and a cover photograph by Steve Cook.
- Nick's View is a new, regular one-panel comic.
- The Episode Guide that starts this issue is a one page table listing story title, production code, transmission dates, writer, director, number of episodes, episodes held in BBC Archives, availability as a novelisation (and author) and references to DWM features (namely Archive, Nostalgia and Flashback features).
- Additional input from DWM 140 letters page gives corrections for the Episode Guide feature dates, which wrongly moves on transmission dates from Marco Polo. Also discussed was the overall titles chosen for the early serials.
