September 30th, 2015 - 12:15pmI know it’s the way the volumes are split but I’m not keep for some books to jump across seasons. Saying that the previous volume to this one may just include the Christmas story and Asylum of the Daleks only (although Volume two leaps two Pertwee seasons)….. I’ll probably get over it….

October 3rd, 2015 - 2:51pmDoes it really make any difference? Most people looking back wouldn’t even be able to tell where a series ends or begins unless they look it up.
As the most obvious example of this, which story did the show’s fifteenth series begin with? The answer is The Face of Evil. It was advertised as the series opener at the time, having followed what people today would probably label a “mid-series split”. When JNT later rebranded the show’s history to appeal to the Americans, labelling everything with “seasons” (a word that would never be used in British broadcasting otherwise) he just stuck the two of them together and everybody seems to have ignored what it actually went out as.

November 7th, 2015 - 4:39pmThis issue (Volume 71) confirms that The Wedding of River Song will be in Volume 70, along with The Snowmen and Asylum of the Daleks. The God Complex is in Volume 69, so whether Closing Time will be in Volume 70 or 69 has not yet been mentioned. Although, as I wrote that, I seem to remember one issue stating that Closing Time was in Volume 69.
BTW this book is great & definitely worth a read even if it documents three rather underrated stories.

November 8th, 2015 - 6:56amMy mistake, it clearly says Closing Time is in Volume 69. I hope this helps if you have not got this issue yet.
