    I received this issue yesterday and boy, have Hachette made a massive howler! They have incorrectly printed the spine with the same image as volume 12 which means Pat Troughton is missing half of his left hand and the entire picture is ruined. Considering that they made a big point about this composite spine picture of all the Doctors when promoting the collection, this is disgraceful. A lot of collectors are going to be very upset, having invested a lot of money to date. Hachette need to reprint this volume pronto.

      So pleased someone else picked up on this, when I got issue 67 in the post a few days ago, I put it on the shelf, and noticed that it had the same spine as 64… I was desperately hoping mine was a one off, but it clearly isn’t… 🙁

      I guess it’s not a huge problem, but considering each book is £9.99, quality control issues like this shouldn’t really happen, especially as this is such a glaring mistake, that could have been easily picked up on! I’ll be onto Hachette about this!

      CUSTOMER ANNOUNCEMENT

      As some of you may have noticed, there is a mis-print on the spine of issue 67. We sincerely apologise for this error but don’t worry as we will be doing a full reprint!

      How will it affect you?

      Trade customers will simply receive their issues in a different order (issue 67 is not in shops yet so will be delayed, and we’ll bring issue 68 forward).

      Subscribers who have already received this issue will of course receive a corrected copy free of charge. It will be sent around the same time as issues 70 and 71. This will happen automatically and you can keep your faulty copy.

      Subscribers who are yet to receive this issue will not be affected, other than the fact that you will receive your next few issues in a different order to planned.

      Hope this helps to clear up any confusion and again, we apologise.

      Glad I read this. I just had issues 66 and 68 delivered. I was thinking ‘Huh, where’s issue 67!!!’ So I presume I will get this at a later date.

      I can tell you you’re going to be happy with the content but probably not the spine.

    It is great that the first run complete of The Doctor Who History collection is Patrick Troughton’s era. He had the job of taking over from the great William Hartnell who defined the role and in my opinion Patrick Troughton was the best Doctor and his success in the role and the stories from his era paved the way for the future Doctors to follow.

    The release of this book will compete the Troughton era. The first of the classic era Doctors to have every story available to read an archive of.

      It’s ironic that whilst Troughton’s full archive can be read, much of it can’t be seen.

    They should’ve used Mr Quill for Fury, he was quite a freaky character along with his accomplice

    My favourite story in this book is ‘The Dominators’. I find ‘Fury from the Deep’ overrated and not that enjoyable to listen to on audio in all honesty, I enjoy ‘The Wheel in Space’ which I feel is very underrated. I may well be in the minority, but I really like ‘The Dominators’. The Quarks are great, the two argumentative Dominators are fun, and there’s some lovely acting dumb humour from Troughton and Hines in episode 2. I may be delusional, but I find ‘The Dominators’ to be a little gem.

    Why does The Second Doctor look like a cartoon on the front?

      I was thinking how much better he looked on this cover compared to the last one (which someone suggested was a composite).

      It’s because they colour them in. Even the colour photos are given an art like wash so they sort of look like a painting. Some more than others.

      He doesn’t, but the last one certainly was a composite (part of it was from a Three Doctors photo). Proven fact.
