Doctor Who Chronicles: Issue 7: 1988
Available to order from www.forbiddenplanet.com and www.panini.co.uk

This lavish 116-page publication from the makers of DWM looks at the stories, people, events and news in this remarkable year – a time when Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred starred as the Seventh Doctor and Ace, and the show celebrated its 25th anniversary with four memorable adventures: Remembrance of the Daleks, The Happiness Patrol, Silver Nemesis and The Greatest Show in the Galaxy. The bookazine includes exclusive articles, previously unpublished interviews and rare behind-the-scenes images.

February 1st, 2023 - 1:01pmGuesses for the one after this? On balance it will have to be a post 2005 era, so I would say either 2005 or 2013 (or maybe 1996). Also for the Sixth Doctor, 1985.

February 1st, 2023 - 2:25pmBack when the Pertwee issue came out I said they’d go for:
6th – 1986
7th – 1988
8th – 1996
9th – 2005
11th – 2011
Going to stick with these predictions going forward although there are other good options for sure (the 8th Doctor included as they could focus on one of the Big Finish years instead).

February 1st, 2023 - 6:26amOrdered it from Panini yesterday. Its gone up by two quid. Plus the postage makes it just short of £15..Still I’m sure it will be worth it.

January 31st, 2023 - 5:05pmi hope it is in the shops when it is supposed to be ….the new/old logo looks good on everything

February 1st, 2023 - 9:18pmFrom experience of working in a shop on the High Street… Being these are bookazines I stead of special issue mags, they do not come in from the same place as mags. So depends on stores delivery days of normal stock and distribution centres stock levels.

January 27th, 2023 - 6:05pmlooking at panini website it could be available around 24th feb like last year for 2007 chronicle

January 27th, 2023 - 9:18amNothing on the Panini website about it…

January 22nd, 2023 - 3:37pmi wonder when this will available as a chronicle

January 18th, 2023 - 9:14pmIt was a magical year for Who. I think I will get this one.

January 18th, 2023 - 4:26pmOoh brilliant

January 17th, 2023 - 8:32pmI know there’s no connection but I would love this to mean we see Season 25 of The Collection on BluRay this year, given Ace’s return as well. Also, Season 20 has The Five Doctors and has been long rumoured, plus has Tegan, who just returned. Both sets of The Collection would be appropriate for the 60th anniversary year! Fingers crossed.

January 18th, 2023 - 2:10pmI think s21 will have The Five Doctors
daz
January 18th, 2023 - 4:57pmThe Five Doctors, although a special on it’s own inbetween Season 20 and 21 on broadcast, is always classes as part of Season 20 as it is the 20th Anniversary Story.
So it will be on he Season 20 Collection set.
DPHill
February 1st, 2023 - 7:50amYeah, despite K9 and company being part of season 19s production, it was on 18, I think it will be on 20 though as 21 has 7 stories already, I think 18 had K9 and Co just for the completion of 1981 and also Tom’s era pals

January 17th, 2023 - 4:12pmThe year I became a DW fan, so this is one I have to get.
Daniel Seymour
January 17th, 2023 - 4:07pmForgot to say in relation to DWM and its extra publications, all 90 editions of Doctor Who: The Complete History will eventually be available on PocketMags, uploaded for sale in batches of 20 each month. I’m hoping they will do more to cover the 13th Doctor era and 2023.

February 1st, 2023 - 12:26amWould be even better (though highlY unlikelY) for the original publishers to resume the phYsical Complete HistorY hardbacks from where theY left off, certainlY missing a trick if theY don’t, as there’s a huge market for them; namelY everyone who owns the full set 1-90 (of which there must be tens of thousands) – but I imagine several more Doctors would need to be “history” before that would seriouslY be considered…
Daniel Seymour
February 1st, 2023 - 12:59pmYes I agree the Thirteenth Doctor era (and beyond) is just as valid as everything else.
Daniel Seymour
January 17th, 2023 - 3:38pmBrilliant, I was hoping it would be the 25th Anniversary Year next! Remembrance! Dapol! Star Books double novels!
