    Has this issue been released yet? With the slight re-jig of the running order I was wondering if its publication date has changed.

      So much for mixing in the 12th. Doctor’s Volumes as well?

      The next Pertwee was meant to have been issue 72 but (and this helps answer Anonymous’s pint below yours) the have moved that one back (they haven’t revealed when to) to make room for the first Capaldi extension volume (Volume 81 – Last Christmas plus Magician/Witch). Issue 70 would have been the next (and final) Hartnell volume but that’s been put back too – issue 70 is now volume 80 – the end stories of Capaldi’s first series.

      The next Capaldi volume is going to be flatline, in the forest of the night and dark water/death in heaven

      Sorry William, that was what I was saying but I didn’t explain that very clearly.

      Issue 70 (due 2nd May) is now going to be, as you say, Flatline, Forest and Dark Water/Death in Heaven. It *was* until recently going to have been volume 7, i.e. First Doctor

      Issue 72 (due 30th May) is now going to be the first of the ‘extension’ Twelfth Doctor books, volume 81, covering Last Christmas and Magician’s Apprentice/Witch’s Familiar. To Tim M’s point, I was saying that Issue 72 *was* going to have been the next Pertwee volume (volume 18) but that’s been put back now. Anonymous asked what about mixing in the extension Twelfth Doctor books like they said they were going to do – my point being, they are doing it, but only once we get into the 70s (issue-wise)

    Three great stories, but ‘Ghost Light’ is my favourite in this book. A surreal but highly effective story.
