    They will bring it back the reason whsmiths did not order in is they were told it was not going to be published any more for a long time.

    A great addition for the Doctor Who collector, I have about 450 issues (including the ones with 2 variant covers (not just variant gifts- but specific printing differences or bag/unbagged differences for additional gifts as the supermarkets (Tesco mainly) did)

    The cameras, radio, clocks, pencil tins and trainer bags were the best gifts.

    I am deeply saddened that a 11 year routine of tracking down this magazine and its variants is sadly over.

    The worst thing is of course the still very successful Doctor Who Experience and its massive shop with massive amounts of DWE exclusive merchandise closing.

    I went to see of my local shop had this, I asked if there were any and they said “Sorry, we don’t get them anymore. They were left out. Football now days. So we didn’t bother getting any” That’s makes me sad how mamy people forgot about it. Well I didn’t buy it in ages but I got the first ever issue so I had to get the last, so now I can’t

      Try larger Tescos. My Tesco Extra always stocked them, often with additional gifts. And goodbye Doctor Who Adventures! I was loyal from beginning to end and still have every issue. You’ll be missed.

    It’s sad to see this magazine being stopped. I remember when they were at the top, but then they fell off after they stopped the subscriptions and made it 2 weeks. Most of my stationery in year 4 was supplied by the stationery from these magazines, lol.

    So with this being the final issue, what does everyone think the best free gifts were?
    I remember in one issue they had the watch Donna wore in Turn Left, that was really cool it was even lenticular so the number changed.

      The best ‘free’ gift was the first-ever one – the TARDIS clock. There were many good ones – the first ever release of the new paradigm Daleks,, the build your own wind-up Daleks and the advent calendars to name but a few.

      Its a bit of hard choice because i cant remember a lot of the free gifts they had, but im gonna say the issue that came with the Big Finish audio The Mutant Phase (and a Dalek inflatable?) because that was the first ever Big Finish audio i heard and its the one that got into Big Finish audios in the first place

    I bought every single issue, every known variant cover, and searched the supermarkets for an exclusive edition most weeks since 2006.

    This really is a shame. As with everything Doctor Who, a good proportion of the buyers are collectors who are way beyond any target age.

    The magazine seldom did anything wrong. In fact it was something of a masterpiece to maintain a publication after so many many issues.

    I got issue 23, and I was suprised how good of a magazine it was for kids: it had comics, quizzes, poster, story, puzzles and info as well. Not too bad gift either (at least it wasnt a reused old one from 5 years ago!). Must be down to not many kids buying it, because if I was younger I would by it! I’ll stick with Doctor Who Magazine for now.
    N.B. My favourite DWA gift was the Cyberman cress set! I had great fun with that! (That sounds so sad 🙂 )

    Well, with 12 shiny new episodes of Doctor Who airing, to leave the past issue on sale for 8 weeks seems like a missed opportunity.
    My tame 11 year old used to ask about this every week but the long wait between issues means they soon forgot about it and moved on. A shame.

      people had become more and more negative towards the mag even before it changed to pannini

      I saw it happen week upon week

      to me it was clear the generation that grew up with it out-grew it (and therefore were unfairly negative towards it) and the “next generation” simply wasn’t there in big numbers

      the number of issues sold each issue has dropped to under 11k from over 50k when is started.

    Its a shame to see what was once a great publication go but to be honest it’s not a surprise quite a lot of dull episodes and the ratings have been down kids would rather watch YouTube or football I mean have you the magazines they sell nowadays

    No wonder this publication is finishing. There has been nothing this series to excite it’s targeted age range aside from the Ice Warriors.

      not sure i agree. Snake tipped alligators, Giant eel fish, Wooden princess , creepy beetles, Mummified monks, and Roman Soldiers (remember Rory was Roman and they loved that). I live in Chester, so we have whole shoals of kids in the age group, marching along the streets in costumes,shields ,etc.

      Nephews loving this series,even if there have been some troubled nights.
