April 7th, 2026 - 10:42amI think your mixing up specials and Bookazines(gosh I hate that word) . Special are 3 a year,and come with the DWM Subscription bif you do 13+3 sub. Or are usually cheaper than the Bookazines,which can be £12 to £20 quid each. Think year dates like 1970 or 1984 bookazines. Where-as the Yearbook 2026 is a special Edition.
6 a year unless there’s something big like a 65th birthday to celebrate.
Pity this wasn’t 1996 and Beyond .He’s Back and He’s still here.

April 7th, 2026 - 11:07amHow awful, eh WhoRu – more good material for us to read. Sucks being a fan of this show…
I didn’t expect this special TBF: DWM did a really good edition looking at the TV 10 years ago (which had an interview with Richard Tipple).
