Doctor Who: Chronicles Issue 2: 1975
Available to order from www.thewhoshop.com (In Stock Now).
The second issue in a new series of bookazines from the makers of Doctor Who Magazine.
Tom Baker’s debut came as a shock to some critics and even regular viewers, but his charismatic portrayal of the Doctor soon propelled the series to new heights of popularity. In 1975 Doctor Who attracted both critical acclaim and controversy in stories that many regard as the benchmark for everything that would follow.
This 116-page bookazine includes newly discovered images and all-new features, including:
- A summary of the year’s most significant events in the Doctor Who universe (both on and off screen)
- Highlights of the memorabilia released in 1975
- Tom Baker’s column for Reveille!
- Dr Where and other spoofs
- The story behind the ‘lost’ radio interview with Tom Baker, Elisabeth Sladen and Ian Marter
- Doctor Who in the popular press
- Archive rarities, including director Christopher Barry’s notebooks, the BBC’s Audience Research Reports, concept artwork from The Sontaran Experiment and unused props created for Pyramids of Mars
- The Doctor Who and Dalek annuals
- The Doctor Who Monster Book and other Target publications
- Special effects and production techniques
- Overviews of Robot, The Ark in Space, The Sontaran Experiment, Genesis of the Daleks, Revenge of the Cybermen, Terror of the Zygons, Planet of Evil, Pyramids of Mars and The Android Invasion
- And much more!

June 21st, 2021 - 7:23pmThoroughly enjoying reading this edition – my favourite year of Dr Who. Very well put together and interesting. Really like the infographics on the back page regarding the ratings – excellent idea! Can’t wait for the next edition. Looking forward to a Troughton year 1967 edition, as well as the Pertwee year 1971 and Leela year 1977 editions. Keep up the excellent work!

May 19th, 2021 - 1:23pmI suppose it’s understandable that Dalek Mania ( 1965) and now 1975 might be seem to be the easiest to make.A lot of info is already around for those years. So more unusual lower key years might need a bigger journalistic dig for the wider reaches of the Chronicles .
I do wish for something more unusual. 1973;1990;1964 etc. I hope we do get them all. This just seems a little like low hanging fruit. That’s not to say it won’t be fantastic as 1965 was , just a bit obvious.
Ordered from the panini website with WELCOME10 FOR 10% OFF TOTAL PRICE.

May 19th, 2021 - 2:23pm1990 would be about 4 pages long.

May 19th, 2021 - 3:21pmHi Bobby Davros
It might not be a viable year, but that the point.
There was a lot of coverage still going on. with plans already in place for what whould have been the next series (see Big finish lost stories) . Plus the constant ,will the BBC sell it/bring it back . who would be the next Doctor etc etc.
thats why it would be more interesting in many ways, than the big hitters. 1991 might be slimmer but I doubt it. In some ways 1990 is the end of the classic series, as we knew it.
All through the decade Dapol, Product Enterprise/corgi, Danbury mint. were still selling. enough for Danbury to make a third special set for 1996/7
There is still lots to see and read for the Lesser years.
