Doctor Who Magazine Special 2018 Yearbook
On sale Thursday 4 January 2018
£5.99 (UK) $11.99 (US)
At the end of 2017 a remarkable chapter in the history of Doctor Who draw to a close. Two incarnations of the Time Lord overcame an existential threat… before the arrival of the Thirteenth Doctor heralded a bold new era for the programme.
The latest Special Edition of Doctor Who Magazine is a unique celebration of the Twelfth Doctor’s final adventures, from The Return of Doctor Mysterio through to Twice Upon a Time. Packed full of all-new features and previously unseen images, this is the essential guide to the year in Doctor Who.
Highlights include exclusive new interviews with:
- Joe Browning, Jimmy Mann, Gary Pollard and Kate Walshe (Millennium FX)
- Ysanne Churchman (the voice of Alpha Centauri in Empress of Mars)
- Matthew Clark (graphic designer, 2017 series)
- Rachel Denning (Erica in The Pyramid at the End of the World)
- Mark Gatiss (Captain Lethbridge-Stewart in Twice Upon a Time)
- Stephanie Hyam (Heather in The Pilot and The Doctor Falls)
- Adele Lynch (Iraxxa in Empress of Mars)
- Rove McManus (host of Australian show Whovians)
- Rachel Talalay (director of three episodes in the 2017 series)
- Alexandra Tynan (designer of the original Cybermen)
Editor Marcus Hearn says: “The latest Yearbook is out a little later than usual, because we wanted to complete our coverage of the Twelfth Doctor’s stories by including Twice Upon a Time. This issue covers more episodes than any previous Yearbooks, but there are many other fantastic articles in there too. We hope this is a great souvenir of an incredible era.”
The Doctor Who Magazine Yearbook 2018 is on sale now at WH Smith and all good newsagents, price £5.99.

January 4th, 2018 - 12:25pmJust come back from Valencia and saw the Science Park – it really is spectacular and you realise why they chose it – ready-made futuristic sets. Valencia itself is also interesting. Worth a visit if you want to recreate the “Smile” experience….

January 2nd, 2018 - 11:02pmRandom question but why is it called the 2018 yearbook when it covers everything from last year (2017)

January 3rd, 2018 - 8:06amIt works in the same way an annual does.
Doctor Mysterio
January 2nd, 2018 - 9:10pmAnd what a year it has been. Certainly Capaldi’s best.

January 2nd, 2018 - 10:25pmDefinitely Capaldi’s best year. I could so easily have watched another series with the 12th Doctor and Bill, but alas, it wasn’t to be.

December 29th, 2017 - 12:08pmYep, Peter Ware (the Deputy Ed) posted on Gallifrey Base this morning that it’s been put back a week to January 4th 2018.
Reasons given are a ‘last minute change in publishing schedules’ and wanting to give this year’s Christmas episode fuller coverage.

September 20th, 2017 - 7:10pmThe cover looks so much like the 2017 one. Power of the Daleks? Class? Target Novels? I mean literally everything on the cover was from last year! Where is Series 10? The Doctor and Bill is from where Pearl was announced
Stop that TARDIS
September 20th, 2017 - 7:11pmPretty sure it is the 2017, they’ll change it soon it’s just a placeholder
booboo
September 20th, 2017 - 7:16pmthis is just the solicitation cover (when its put out for retailer order) they generally always change it

September 21st, 2017 - 9:25amOh I thought I was going mad, haha! Maybe there’ll be more info on the apparently forthcoming Shada release for November, hence not releasing proper image yet?
