January 18th, 2015 - 10:32pmWHSmith seems to be where people are buying it as when I went to Tesco one night and thought I should check if they have the yearbook in so I went to the magazine bit and there wasn’t any DWM specials the only DWM they had was the latest one with Jenna on the front but I got mine today from my second local WHSmith

December 29th, 2014 - 8:37pmThis is a very good DWM Special, with some very interesting exclusive features and interviews.
For merchandise fans, there are articles on the subjects of Character Options toys/figures, BBC Books, BBC DVDs and Silva Screen Soundtracks. Here are some snippets about ‘the future’…
-Action Figures: Skovox Blitzer will be able to hang off walls (apparently). There’ll be a new Clara variant with a better likeness, plus new Cybermen variant included next year. Also Electronic Daleks (3.75″) that move along the floor, something to do with ‘sound wave’ technology. No 5″ stuff mentioned…oh, and there’s going to be something revolutionary and modern happening some time in 2015…
-Books: From February, new releases ‘every month’, starting with the ‘History Collection’.
-DVDs: ‘The Underwater Menace’ MAY come out next year…also something about the possibility of Classic Episodes becoming available as online downloads…
-Soundtracks: Series 8 OST scheduled for next year…

December 17th, 2014 - 6:01pmI guess this is the replacement for the “Series X Companion”-style editions they’ve done since 2005? Looks good to me but – like with the Companions – I doubt I’ll get it, and definitely not until I’ve heard how much Pixley there is.
12th Doctor
December 16th, 2014 - 8:18pmWhy does it say 2015 yearbook when the episode aired in 2014

December 16th, 2014 - 5:24pmJust a heads up to all you others in the U.S., this is £5.99 in the UK so that’ll be about $9.44
yognot
December 16th, 2014 - 3:01pmWill it be available in the U.S.? DWM is available here but I don’t know if any of the special editions will be available.
The Doctor and Handles

the astronaut of death
December 15th, 2014 - 6:05pmwhat??
The Monitor
December 15th, 2014 - 5:33pmI scan DWM in less than a minute, but that does not stop me collecting it. As for this year; best Doctor since Baker and some of the very best episodes of all time – Mummy/Flatline/Dark. One of the best ever years for Doctor Who. 1970, 1974, 1975, 1976, 2014…
the astronaut of death
December 15th, 2014 - 6:04pmwhat?
the astronaut of death

December 16th, 2014 - 3:14pmI’m guessing you mean Tom baker..
vespiformssting
December 15th, 2014 - 5:25pmAs its about the year just gone shouldnt it be the 2014 yearbook ????
Devin McConnell
December 15th, 2014 - 5:39pmI thought the same thing. A 2015 year book looking back at 2014? Really bizarre editorial choice.
Also, Jenna and Peter’s poses look like they’ve been weirdly manipulated in photoshop. Peter especially.
The Werewolf
December 15th, 2014 - 11:13pmThat’s how annuals tend to work, so why not?
Guest
December 16th, 2014 - 10:46amIt’s following the same formula as annuals.
The Doctor and Handles
December 17th, 2014 - 3:57pmThis sort of thing will always be named by the year ahead, partly so it won’t seem out of date to potential buyers in the first part of next year.
PheebsegirlFA
December 15th, 2014 - 3:52pmIts got something about the action figures in it!

KORSAIR
December 15th, 2014 - 11:50amDon’t think I’ll be buying this as I was very disappointed in this years run of the show so don’t need reminding, in fact I’ve 4 issues of the regular monthly DWM lying unread and I never even bothered buying the October issue (missy cover) I honestly hope the xmas episode is an improvement on what we’ve had this year, no reflection on Peter Capaldi as his Doctor is excellent.

December 15th, 2014 - 2:56pmTo each their own. I consider this the best season of the modern era so I’ll be snapping it up.
CG
December 15th, 2014 - 3:05pmSame
The Doctor and Handles
December 15th, 2014 - 3:29pmAgreed
Dalekparadigm2
December 16th, 2014 - 12:57amAnd Here. This is definitely one of the best seasons ever. Favourite writer has to be Jamie Mathieson (MOTOE & Flatline).
