    My copy – ordered direct from Panini – arrived this lunchtime, delivered by Royal Mail. An excellent read, well up to the usual standards for these Chronicles. I clearly remember 1973 and the serials covered. Also includes articles on the Radio Times Tenth Anniversary special edition and on the Letts/Dicks led ‘Moonbase 3’ series.

    I have just received an email from Panini stating that this magazine has been delayed until the 20th October – I just thought I would everyone know as I ordered directly from the Panini site.
    I am not sure if there will be a delay to the shops but I assume that it will be the same.

      Thanks for this saves me a trip into town at lunchtime today.

      My wishlist is for 1993, I know there was no real new episodes (apart from Dimensions in Time) but it seemed to me Doctor Who was everywhere: we had the BBC 2 repeats early in the year, then the documentary in November and Planet of the Daleks repeated, the two radio shows and also the sheer amount of branded 1963 – 1993 merchandise made available. So much more to list here. That year bought the series back in the spotlight for the general public.

    I’d love a 2008. I know 2007 is out but Doctor Who seemed more omnipresent than ever in the UK that year

    Could always ask to get copy put aside when it’s delivered. It’s difficult to say when it’s delivered as it’s not aahasone so doesn’t come with normal news deliverys. Depends on the stores normal stock delivery days. This is for whsmith as used to work there. If seeps out normally get a replenishment delivery ASAP. Depending on stock levels at suppliers. Got Tennant, Troughton and Davison ones in Bedford branch.

    Excellent, looking forward to this one.

    This’ll make it one year each for Doctors 1-5 and 10. Hoping they continue to do one for each Doctor before any second entries for them. So, 6-9 and 11 (maybe 12/13 if they go that recent) to come in the range next maybe!

      I’d love 1988 and 1996. 2005 will no doubt be a “bumper volume”!

      They’d certainly be my picks/predictions for 7-9 and I’d go with 1986 for 6 as well. 2011 for 11 given the height of interest in America at that time might be good as well.

    What happened to the Troughton issue? In all the WH Smiths I’ve been to, I’ve only ever seen one issue/copy of it (wish id grabbed it now) – were these in short supply?!

      I paid too much for this on eBay. Wish I’d grabbed from who shop (in barking) which had them.

      I agree. As supermarkets’ magazine selections have decreased, these have becoming increasingly hard to get hold of in the wild without incurring postage costs from online retailers, pushing the cost up to £12- £15. I was hoping that DWM would offer some kind of subscription, but no sign of this.

      I’ve missed the second doctor issue too. Never saw any in my local WHSmiths. They are overstocked with the 10th doctor issue. Panini are out of stock online as far as I can see. Guess I’ll save a bomb whilst WHS and the publishers will lose out as I probably won’t bother with any more. Not a very good way of running a business.

      Got a copy of the 1967 issue earlier this month from WHSmith in the Arndale in Manchester after a hunt round. I later saw one in WHS in Burnley, but they are not easy to get that’s for sure.
