      This one has more characters in it, so it’d have people from series 8

      Ok so it’s worth buying then

      Well, I think it was published BEFORE Series 8 aired, or at least the majority of the episodes, so I’m not too sure about that…

    I’m really worrying about when it says features all the doctors, and the first one says features all 11 doctors, could this be the end, we must make plans on how to survive without doctor who, I literally cannot live without doctor who, it is my favourite show!!!

      This isn’t published under BBC Books’ name, so whoever wrote this wouldn’t know what’s happening with the series.

    I’m a little disappointed that they have brought this out so soon after the previous one was released as I bought that one only in January. I agree that there won’t be much Capaldi content but for those who didn’t buy it last time, the book is a must get.

    So many things… I want to complain… about this cover… inaccuracy… overuse of an image… bad layout… must resist…

    Oh – come on. It’s not very good looking is it? Wrong logo, massive space at the top, THAT image of Peter AGAIN… really hoping this isn’t final, even though I won’t be purchasing.

      They don’t have to fill up every inch of the cover. And whats wrong with that pic of Capaldi? They’re not going to take more pics him now until next year.

    • Sam Richard Bentley

      October 5th, 2014 - 11:26pm

      Right – the space at the top is horrid. That’s where the logo should be.

      And there a tonnes of promo photos of Peter. We’ve seen quite a few now. Why do they insist on bleeding this one dry?

    • Sam Richard Bentley

      October 5th, 2014 - 11:43pm

      All they need to do is update the logo, move it up a bit to fill the space, use a different image or Peter – and it would be okay.

    • The Werewolf

      The Logo of the publishing company should and does occupy the top to itself. And I think this is one of the two best Capaldi shots to use, the other being hands in pockets showing red lining.

      I’ll give you the logo though, not updating it is quite lazy considering this is supposed to be an “updated edition”.

    Why not just wait until the series is over? The new calendar only has references from brfore epiosde 5.

    Interesting that’s Capaldi is on the cover, cause I bet there’ll be minimal information in this book about he 12th Doctor, as Series 8 is not over yet. So maybe this will go up to TTotD? However, it doesn’t appear to be in stock, so maybe it will include Series 8 info and be out later in the year…
