August 6th, 2025 - 8:19pmStill wishing there was to get the regular covers as a subscriber. It’s really difficult knowing what content is in which issue when they all just have generic covers only pertinent to a small portion of the total content.

July 20th, 2025 - 1:10pmCD sampler for the loch ness audio book with the nexr special edition magazine out 28th august, as mentioned in the news section. Wonder if this would be another chronicles magazine ?

July 20th, 2025 - 6:23pmNo – DWM is referring to the next Special Edition, called ‘The Horror Issue’, out August 28th. It is themed to tie in with the next Collection set by focusing primarily on the Hinchcliffe ‘gothic horror’ era, but it’s not the next in the Bookazine range. That usually rocks up around October-ish. We don’t know what the subject of that will be yet.

July 20th, 2025 - 12:06pmI couldn’t be happier! As the world’s #1 Virtual Murder fan* and working on the Virtual Murder Celebration book, I was delighted to see almost a whole page devoted to the series and Pertwee’s role as Luis Silverado!

July 19th, 2025 - 8:12amMy local WHSmiths closed recently. However if you are looking for DWM try Waterstones. My local has just started selling magazines and it is included amongst their titles.

July 18th, 2025 - 9:28pmI’ve not seen a copy of DWM round here for two years at least. We have a Smiths but they don’t appear to have any Who related goodies. I probably wouldn’t buy the magazine very often – last time I did buy a copy Smith was the Doctor . But it would be handy to at least have the option to pick up a copy if the contents interested me. As it is, if I really want the magazine I’ve got to go through the palarva of ordering it on line. There’s something nice about going into bricks and mortar to grab something.
Nevermind. Hopefully, Season 13 will be heading this way in the near future

July 19th, 2025 - 12:08pmWell there you go. You’ve not bought an issue in over a decade, so you can’t really complain if Smiths aren’t stocking it anymore.

July 17th, 2025 - 9:20pmI look at Billie on the cover there and think, get her to play the doctor with her red hair! And get her to play the doctor completely differently to rose. She is a great actress let her show it.

July 17th, 2025 - 5:24pmDoes it have any information on the season 13 collection blue ray? Someone mentioned it might in that thread but I feel like if it did it would of been listed on the cover

July 18th, 2025 - 2:06pmMy nearest Smiths closed last year and it was hit and miss if it did have DWM for 18 months before that

July 20th, 2025 - 10:34pmPJ my local town centre ( bridgwater somerset ) has nothing in it WHSmith’s closed last year and now the banks are closing its alright if you like expensive charity shops with nothing in them and people getting drunk on bottles on cider and fighting with each other,, but that doesn’t appeal to me
