October 16th, 2011 - 3:35amJust read through this (Or should I say flipped?)& it’s a waste of time. Incredibly dry it come’s across more as a Reference Manual for Dr Who than anything else. Fine if you like that sort of thing but nowhere near as good as last year’s version. Apart from a couple of articles this was a major disappointment!

October 16th, 2011 - 7:04pmI sort of agree whilst this one is amazing and brilliant it seems like too much has been crammed in. Plus they scrapped the one thing i loved to hate from last year. Last years was the best and was the original

October 20th, 2011 - 3:06pmThe problem is they wanted to have a fixed format and that means that they need to do certain things even if it logically makes no sense whatsoever. Like in The Girl Who Waited page there were no guest stars to do the “Where have I seen?” feature that Karen GIllan gets demoted to guest star so they can carry it on. They could not bend the format to make it more interesting.
Highllight has to be Steven Moffat being asked for details on teh next series of Doctor Who and giving the simple response of “No!”.

King of the weevils
August 6th, 2011 - 10:44amThis looks amazing! Glad it comes out just after the end of the series! But I agree with gary it looks a lot like a lot like a cover for doctor who magazine! Probably gonna get this for Christmas unless tesco have a special offer on it like last year!

August 5th, 2011 - 9:23pmI like the cover picture but not all the text all over it – It makes the book look like an issue of Doctor Who Magazine!!
wouldyoulikieajellybabie?
August 5th, 2011 - 9:26pmi agree with you there
dalek105
August 6th, 2011 - 8:17amBut ive just spotted “Free Audio Download” on the cover 😯 maybe not such a bad idea.

August 6th, 2011 - 10:35amThe cover on the previous book was brilliant this one looks too “busy”. Too much text and they could’ve found a better picture of Amy Pond.
American Doctor Who Fan
August 14th, 2011 - 9:27pmAgreed
Melody Pond
August 16th, 2011 - 10:44amThat’s exactly what I thought! the 2011 cover was perfect – clean yet interesting at the same time. If feels like something I paid good money for – this just looks like something I picked up at the newsagents for five bucks.
Dalek Jake
August 5th, 2011 - 4:43pmThat cover is amazing. It even has the Doctor in his new coat. Can’t wait to get this. 😀

King of the weevils
August 8th, 2011 - 8:21pmI think they should have scrapped the writing at the side but other than that its great and is much better than the doctor who encyclopedia one!

July 6th, 2011 - 4:31pmI wonder if this will cover the Autumn run as well because if it does then it has pretty much confirmed that it is expected to start on the third of Septemebr.
