    Thanks to Shaun’s tip now managed to get this from Sainsbury’s and was only charged £7.99! Appears the code for the monthly mag has been attached to this in error.

    I managed to get a copy from Sainsbury’s Bishop Auckland earlier today. There were five copies. Still not seen the Yearbook in supermarkets though.

      Mine came in the post from Panini yesterday with the corner badly damaged (you wouldn’t buy one on the shop in this condition). My 1970 copy from last year had similar issues and after getting hold of somebody in customer services (a challenge in itself) and providing photos they sent out a replacement copy. Hopefully when I finally get hold of somebody they will do the same this time. They are packed well so I can only assume that they have been damaged prior to packing.

      I finally got hold of someone at Panini yesterday. They have sent out a replacement no questions asked and don’t want a return of the damaged one or to see photos of the problem (as they did last time). Reading between the lines I don’t think that I was the only person to receive a damaged copy…

      Can you just order it online and have it delivered directly to you?

    • Timelord1963

      February 17th, 2026 - 3:15pm

      I could but seeing as the cost of these have increased with postage on top you’re looking at nearly £20

      You can get 10% off your first order so would be £14.65 with delivery if you can’t find one

      30 mile round trip to Forbidden Planet and they don’t have it. Two TGJones don’t have it either which is slightly more excusable as their identical predecessor was always two weeks late for many years.

      A fabulously large supermarket may have them, but 5 in my area that used to, do not any longer. It’s just as well it’s a bookazine and not a mag, to be around for a while and hopefully sell out.

      The Monitor – if you have a 30 mile round trip to nearest FP and no guarantee of any nearby supermarkets having a copy… surely the most sensible and efficient thing to do would be to order a copy for home delivery from Panini Website?

    Not only a great year for Doctor Who but also for culture / pop music / movies in general. Everything was of high quality in 1984 it seemed.

      You’re spot on about the 80s music….! Loved it all my life….
      1984 was when Now That’s What I Call Music kicked off…..on cassette…..!

      i remember 1984 i was 9 at the time it seemed like every other day a celebrity died wasn’t someone who was going to appear in Frontios in 1984 was murdered or was that in 83 ?

      I should hope so too – the year the world got me. 🙂 lol

      I don’t know about celebrity, ati, but sadly the actor who was going to play Mr Range in Frontios was murdered…..

      Frontios was recorded in 1983 . Peter Arne was murdered in his flat few weeks before the recording. I believe his murder was never solved .

    • Gordon

      February 5th, 2026 - 9:09pm

      The main suspect in his murder (Giuseppe Perusi) was found dead in the Thames 4 days later and the inquiry it was ruled an unlawful killing for Peter Arne and a suicide for Giuseppe Perusi

      Thanks for that Gordon.

    One of my favourite Dr Who eras….particularly Frontios and Resurrection…..
    And it was so cool Colin Baker was in the final story….rather than having to wait nearly a year for the New Doctor….
    I was doing my O levels…..and reading 1984….!

      1984- Season 21 – Peter Davisons’ Best Season IMHO.
      Loved The Malus in The Awakening.
      Hugely excited at Resurrection after a 5 year wait for The Daleks to return .
      Resurrection looked great on screen and a fast moving story.
      I was doing my O levels too. Doctor Who was popular at school.
      Don’t know why they were called O ( Ordinary ) levels as GCSE ( 1988 replacement ) just sounds better !

      February 5th, 2026 - 9:36am

      O for ordinary
      A levels for advanced

      The return of Davros (who seemed to pop into Dr Who every 5 years or so) was most exciting…..!!!

      I don’t feel like they are necessarily aimed at the same market unless your a fan that buys anything with who stamped on it. I couldn’t of given less of an interest in the 2025 year book if I tried, and gave up on the main magazine years ago but this chronicles range has been brilliant and a great companion to the various collection box sets. Some of the other specials interest me but most dpnt I just get the ones that do.
