August 24th, 2019 - 4:27pmi live in kettering and i went town to get my copy on thurs 22 fri 23 and sat 24 and i have been everywhere and cannot find a copy anyway!
so it would seem that this issue can be presumed lost in the vortex…

August 21st, 2019 - 10:41amHmm… 3rd cover in a row that hasn’t the current Dr on it?

August 22nd, 2019 - 11:43amThey publish several covers a year without the current doctor on them. This is nothing new. Without a new series there isn’t much to report about and so there is little reason to include her on the front cover. Also she was on the cover of issue 540.
