Doctor Who The Essential Guide #10 Robots

Robots have been an essential part of Doctor Who for six decades.

The latest issue of Panini’s lavish Doctor Who bookazine includes features on classic robot stories such as “Galaxy 4,” “Pyramids of Mars,” and “The Robots of Death.”

Other highlights include interviews with the actors, writers and directors who helped to create some of these episodes.

Packed with exclusive content and rare images, this 116-page bookazine will be a must-have for fans in the days leading up to the new series of Doctor Who.

    Got this on Monday, the actual cover has a knight from Robot of Sherwood instead of a Handbot.

      That’s annoying! It’s the first picture of a Handbot close-up that made me realise they had holes in the mask & weren’t just smooth

    I quite like the cover. Except for the Handbot that it. That’s really bland.

    I had a feeling they,d do robots next, it covers a lot from the 60s to present day, i can,t imagine much they can cover next in this series of bookazines.

      They could do The Essential William Hartnell Through Peter Capaldi which includes Every Non-Who Role from the start of each of their careers, a photo from each series and movie, a short biography and some interesting articles written by fellow cast members. Then a nicely designed Doctor who checklist of episodes written on one page, a photo of every variation of their outfits during their tenure, an alternate dvd Cover or 2 for you to cut out and replace on your DVD collection maybe some painted artwork or some cool fan art gallery for a couple of pages. The entire Big Finish checklist for each doctor.

    I think the covers are getting somewhat worse

    The 50 years editions were neatly designed
    Then the first few issues of this were good looking too
    But this just seems to be a few bits cobbled together.

      Tesco or FP usually have early copies, WHsmith always seem last in the queue when it comes to stocking.
