If every issue of Dr Who Weekly/Monthly/Magazine/special was piled on top of each other, how high would it be? Incidentally, I notice Vworp Vworp Volume 4 has been reduced to 4.99 + postage.

Based on the piles I was making yesterday, roughly six feet I'd say.

Read this year's 5 new Target books. Generally decent, with The Waters of Mars surprisingly being the highlight. The old Target tradition of the book being better than the telly version.
Warriors' Gate works much better in the expanded version. It actually makes sense now.
My copy of Kerblam! is a unique variant edition as all the interior pages (and the back cover) are printed verrry squinty.

I see DWM has a new editor from next issue. Do we know who?

Looks fab, loads of atmosphere, utter gibberish. I love it, but it is incoherant narratively I literally only now understand the plot after reading the new Target. Even the coin tossing now makes sense! -Ralph

I see DWM are pulling out the stops for the sixtieth with a 224 page bookazine for £20. I'd love to know how many these things sell. That seems a bit ambitious in the current climate.

But not in stock at the publisher, which I pre-ordered from. SIGH.

Mine arrived.
Oh dear.
The 'slipcase' is the flimsiest of flimsy things: just very thin paper. Good luck getting the mag inside out without ripping it. Said mag was already damaged as the 'slipcase' provides no protection.
I paid £20 for this!

Fourteenth Doctor comic strip from DWM has been collected as special, released yesterday. Not in my Smiths so I ordred one from the Panini website.

Same.
I enjoyed it in DWM though it did suffer from being in 6-page chunks over 14 issues so I lost the thread of the plot a bit.

I found that. Although I didn't realise until I got to the end last week and had no idea what had just happened.

Nice to see Lee Sullivan back on the strip after a while away, and I have to say it was very poor during the Whitaker era and Jac Rayner should not be allowed near the strip again, especially with that rotten Doom's Day tie in comic, probably the worst strip I've ever read in DWM.

Enjoyed sitting down and reading it all in one sitting. Nice one off adventure for the 14th Doctor, although a nice gap between the end of that and The Star Beast for Big Finish to exploit.
Can't wait for the 10th, The Metacrisis and The 14th to crossover.

Fair point.
They have to keep having endless 'surprise' appearances of River Song or the Meddling Monk going somehow.

Though try explaining a phone book/directory to anyone under 30. Then feel Ancient.

It's a bit like trying to explain Telephone Operators to anyone under about 40 - mostly you get looked at like you are from another planet. (I mean, I am, but that is entirely coincidental!)
