    For all those who are collecting this it has been confirmed that series 6 will be included so that means we will be going past 110 issues. Also confirmed is that will be releasing every classic serial available now and in the future.

      How come you cancelled your subscription in the first place Booboo?

      I had most of the dvd’s already especially the classic and the covers were on their archive so i subscribed to that then they stopped updating it, i tried to talk to them about continuing to feature the mag on the site but they would never reply, I am only re subscribing as i want this site to be complete as possible with or without any help.

      On Wikipedia, except the ones from series 1-5, they are all classics, no sign of series 6. Do you mean it is more than 110 issues??

      By the time they finally catch up on all the classics it will be at least 2016. Think i made a good choice not collecting these. At least the final release of the dvd range is next year

      Ok, maybe not 2016, late 2014 or early 2015. But it will take ages!!!!

      Good for you, cause we can’t all let our parents do it, we have to help. For example, I buy all my DW toys with my money. 🙂

      Yes, of course, even though this Christmas I didn’t ask many DW related stuff. Very “Ood” of me…

      @kingofthecybermen There has been 43 classic releases so far. There still is round about 80 classic stories to be released. 26 issues a year. That would be 3 years 16 weeks. That doesnt take into concideration future series. Lets say 3 future series plus series 6 as it hasnt been released yet. Its normally 7 dvds to a series times that by 4 thats 28 issues which is 1 year 4 weeks. Add that on top of your 3 years 16 weeks and thats over 4 and a half years so summer 2016 round about as a finishing time.

    • King of the Cybermen

      February 1st, 2012 - 7:32pm

      I presume you are talking about the spine of the DVDs. There are two covers, one builds up a picture of the monsters and the other has the Doctors and companions from the new series and a blue background for the classic series.

      In issue 68 it came with the blue spine outwards, just turn the cover round and it will be fine.

    I cant get any reply from GE FABBRI ltd, re cancelling my sons subscription to this DVD magazine. I cant get through on the phone, they have 2 months of my money which I am still awaiting refunded. E-mails are ignored untli after my 4th demand , they asked for the acccount holders name address etc which was already on the first e-mail. We cancelled when issues 62 and 63 arrived. We were still sent issues 66 and 67….but I returned them. Never got 64 and 65. Who can I turn to?????

      They stooped updating the online archive ( which i had subscribed to) where we got our info from a ge fabbri couldn’t be bothered to reply to my email asking for cover images so we could keep this up to date so this is the last one we will feature

    Clair lister (editor) has confirmed via there facebook page that the 107 issue list was fake and she has updated the list herself which now shows up to 90 issues. Bear in mind this could increase as it is likely they have only managed to at this point 100% secure they closish stories for the collection.

    There are now going to be 107 issues because they will release series 6 too
    it will take too much space like 107 dvds on your
    shelf plus the five doctors and the tv movie 😮

      Only the first 80 are definite, the rest might be made up and have some clear errors (such as saying that the God Complex is episode 10 of this series).

    Does any one collect these who may be able to do a good scan the covers for us so we can keep a full record, Ge Fabbri have stated that they are no longer going to update the online archive

      we asked ge fabbri if they could send us cover images, the couldn’t even have the courtesy to reply, they have also abandoned the online archive which i had just subscribed to they didn’t even let anyone know so we wont bother with these anymore.

      I know they do it but i dont want to copy of other sites really, its a pretty poor show that they abandoned the online archive and didn’t tell anyone who was subscribing to it (at least they didn’t tell me) anyway.

      April 2nd, 2011 - 2:21pm

      Thanks for this, just seen the wiki entry myself. God that is a lot if true. 80 issues is enough both content wise for the mag (as probably running out of material soon) and the dvds (will have no space), let alone the price. I don’t want this extended for the sake of it and I will probably want series 6 (should be able to do that due to time wise) after issue 90/100 thus a further extension.

      Am twitering them now to see if this is yet another figment of someones imagination and has put false info on there.
