You are looking at a fantastic installment in the Essential Doctor Who bookazine series — a special series of thick magazines from the Doctor Who Magazine team, based around a specific character or theme, with brand new insights, interviews, archive materials and LOTS of visual interest! This is #12, Time Travel, focusing on that most integral of fantastical elements.

The 114-page magazine is in used condition; you can tell it's spent some time on a bookshelf and been read, but it's still a strong, clean, reading copy. The contents include:


  • How the approach to time travel has changed over fifty years of the series
  • BBC analysis of time travel literature, preceding the series, that may have guided its original framework
  • Two-page spreads looking at how time travel works in The Chase (1965), The Ark (1966), The Evil of the Daleks (1967), The Time Warrior (1974), Invasion of the Dinosaurs (1974), City of Death (1979), Warriors' Gate (1980), Mawdryn Undead (1983), Resurrection of the Daleks (1984), The Two Doctors (1985), The Curse of Fenric (1989), Father's Day (2005), Blink (2007), A Christmas Carol (2010), Listen (2014) and Under the Lake / Before the Flood (2015).
  • Details of the original storylines for The Chase (1965), The Evil of the Daleks (1967) and City of Death (1979)
  • An examination of other time-traveling beings in the series
  • The use of the Blinovitch Limitation Effect
  • A new interview with actor David Collings  
  • An archive interview with writer Robert Holmes
  • A look at time travel storylines in Doctor Who comics
  • A timeline of River Song
  • An analysis of how the Doctor became an interventionist in time

I will combine shipping on more than one purchased magazine (as many as the envelope can hold). Please check my other auctions for more Doctor Who and SFF pop culture magazines! Thanks for looking. :)
