    Just got Issue 88 (stickered) and it has the cover for 89 but the contents for 88. Ooops! Has this been reported anywhere?

      Just sold issue 88 sealed on ebay and it is being returned as customer says the cover is ok but the contents have the wrong story contents in them.

      Unresolved. I did contact their customer service back in the day and they acknowledged the issue, but no replacement ever arrived.

      Officially, they are-also, it might be to pad the volumes out, I could tell in the Series 9 books they were struggling for content with some episodes, probably just to finish the collection off on a nice even number. Of course, they could have wrapped Capaldi up early to have more bonus volumes covering the spin-offs, books, etc.

      They’re being included as three separate stories because they were separate productions, with different writers, different directors and different filming blocks. Just because there was a narrative that ran through them, doesn’t mean their production history was all in one mass.
