The longest running official Television Tie-In Magazine in the world, as declared by Guinness World Records,note An award the magazine received twice - initially in 2010, and again in 2016 as part of the celebrations for issue #500. Doctor Who Magazine started off as Doctor Who Weekly (it changed to a four-weekly schedule after 43 issues) back in 1979, and continued uninterrupted even throughout the Wilderness Years of 1989 to 2005.Originally published under the UK branch of Marvel Comics, it is now published by Panini Comics, who absorbed Marvel UK in The '90s.DWM is a lot more independent than most such mags, printing reviews that can be highly critical and happily criticising many of Doctor Who's poor past episodes. It has become very close to the production team and is very much a source for exclusives, especially episode titles.It regularly publishes specials, including Making Of guides for every season of the new series.It's also spawned a few spinoffs, including a short-lived poster magazine spotlighting the series' monsters; Doctor Who Classic Comics, which mainly reprinted pre-DWM Doctor Who comics; and Doctor Who Insider, for North American fans. The latest sister title was Doctor Who Adventures, which originally launched in 2006, and was acquired by Panini in 2015; it was aimed at the show's kid fanbase, with a mix of in-character written activities, games, posters, short stories, episode recaps, and comics — a format very similar to that of the earliest years of DWM. The magazine has a lot of regular features: | |

Comic-Book Fantasy Casting | |
| Doctor Who Magazine (Magazine) / int_11bc87bc | comment |
Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: In "Change of Mind", the villainous Mad Scientist Professor Hardin is both physically based on, and named after, Jerry Hardin, best known as Deep Throat in The X-Files. Long-running Eighth Doctor companion Izzy S was based, according to invokedWord of God, initially on the singer Louise Wenernote From the Brit Pop band Sleeper and later on the actress Luisa Bradshaw-White. The Eighth Doctor strips also featured a fake Ninth Doctor, in reality the Time Lord agent Shayde in disguise, who was visually based on the Big Name Fan, spin-off actor-director, and now official Dalek voice artist Nicholas Briggs. Leighton Woodrow, an MI6 recurring character from that era of the comics, was closely based on Leo McKern, specifically as he appeared when playing Number Two in The Prisoner. The War Doctor in The Clockwise War and Ambush is clearly modeled on on John Hurt, who played his older self in the TV specials, as he appeared in his thirties. Frobisher's humanoid form in his Eighth Doctor reappearance is based on James Gandolfini. In the Twelfth Doctor strips, Jess Collins was based on actress Mélissa Azombo, a big Doctor Who fan who jumped at the chance to be in the comic, even doing a photo shoot as reference for artist David A. Roach. This ended up having unexpected resonance due to Azombo's mild resemblance to Pearl Mackie, who was cast shortly afterwards as the next TV companion, Bill. The Western-set story "The Parliament of Fear" uses a whole crew of western actors cast according to their stereotypical type casting in the genre. Vicious outlaw Seth Shelton is Bruce Dern, Native American tracker Joey Two Trees is Lou Diamond Phillips, and comedy "old timer" Zeke is Denver Pyle. Additionally, real African-American western lawman Bass Reeves is Idris Elba. | |

Continuity Porn: "Emperor of the Daleks" is written solely in an attempt to explain what happened to Davros between "Revelation of the Daleks" and "Remembrance of the Daleks", and uses, as a key plot point in this, a "loose end" from a seventies Dalek TV story that hardly anybody thought needed to be tied up. | |

All There in the Manual: In issue 560, Russell T. Davies wrote up some fake Radio Times listings to give additional context to the Doctor Who scene in his 2021 period drama It's a Sin: It's the filming of a fictional Seventh Doctor serial named "Regression of the Daleks" in which the Daleks get hold of a crystal that causes the Doctor to degenerate back into the Sixth and Fifth while Ace gets a new boyfriend who turns out to be a young Davros. | |

Big, Fat Future: In "Welcome to Tickle Town", the Doctor and Clara arrive in the Tickle Town amusement park 300 years in the future. Clara comments on the size of most of the attendees, hoping that the entire human race doesn't evolve into size XXX-L. It turns out everyone is trapped in the park, unable to leave. "Lifers" are those who have given up hope, eat the munchies (laced with sedatives) and ride the rides all day, becoming obese blobs. | |

A House Divided | |
| Doctor Who Magazine (Magazine) / int_21889507 | comment |
A House Divided: In one strip a group of minor villains that the Doctor has previously defeated gather together in a deserted space-station to plan a final attack that will finish him once and for all. One of them dies horribly, and as the others begin dying one by one afterward, it seems (to them, anyway) as if the Doctor has infiltrated their midst in disguise and is picking them off one by one. Finally, the last couple — paranoid that either one of them could be the Doctor in disguise — kill each other... and at that point, the Doctor arrives, not recognising any of them. Turns out the first death was just an accident with a faulty machine and the other deaths were just everyone picking each other off out of sheer paranoia. | |

All There in the Script | |
| Doctor Who Magazine (Magazine) / int_222969af | comment |
In "Endgame", there is a reference to "Old Mrs. Parkhouse", which is a shout-out to Steve Parkhouse, the earlier writer on the strip who created the setting and characters revisited in the story. The Toymaker's main human minion is named "Marwood", which is the All There in the Script name of "I", the character played by Eighth Doctor actor Paul McGann in Withnail and I. The Toymaker refers to having beaten "Le Chiffre" at baccarat. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Doctor Who Magazine (Magazine) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: When the TV series returned in 2005, the strip had to shift over to using the Ninth Doctor and Rose, meaning that companion Destrii's story was left unfinished. She was last seen in the strip walking off with the Eighth Doctor to new adventures. What Destrii's original story would have been hasn't been revealed; when offered the Eighth-Ninth regeneration, the creative team initally wanted to have Destrii continue with the new Doctor, but editorial restrictions forbidding them from having any other companion for the Ninth but Rose they had meant they couldn't go through with it. They had a loophole, which meant they could have just featured the regeneration, but they felt that a proper regeneration meant they needed to show the consequences, so they reluctantly turned it down. This decision of course later allowed Steven Moffat to add the War Doctor in the narrative gap. Not the first time the strip's aborted its arc, either; writer Steve Moore dropped his plans for Abslom Daak after falling out with editor Alan McKenzie and leaving the strip. Daak later got brought back by other writers. | |

Double-Sided Book | |
| Doctor Who Magazine (Magazine) / int_3ba4a520 | comment |
Double-Sided Book: The 1994 Summer Special issue was a Book Ends-themed issue about the beginning and ending of the classic series presented this way. One side was "The Genesis of Doctor Who", with a cover picture from the VHS release of "An Unearthly Child"; a transcript of William Hartnell's Desert Island Discs interview; an interview with Virginia Wetherall (Dyoni in "The Daleks"); articles about the show's origins and the original title sequence; a fact file on "An Unearthly Child" (or "100,000 BC", as DWM insisted on calling it at the time); and a comic strip featuring First, Vicki and Steven. The other side was "The Destiny of Doctor Who", with a cover picture from the VHS release of "Survival"; interviews with Sylvester McCoy and Lisa Bowerman (not yet Bernice Summerfield, but Karra in "Survival"); articles about eighties visual effects and the McCoy title sequence; a fact file on "Survival"; and a comic strip featuring Seventh and Benny that was a direct sequel to the First Doctor one. | |

Trojan Prisoner: In "The Futurists" this is used to infiltrate an ancient Roman military camp. Lampshaded when the Doctor remarks that it's a tired old trick, but there had to be a time when it was new enough to work. | |

| Doctor Who Magazine (Magazine) / int_4ec4c5ab | comment |
Harsher in Hindsight: Invoked in-universe. The ending of "Witch Hunt" has the Doctor tell Clara that neither her students nor he will ever forget her. This comic ran several months after the Series 9 finale "Hell Bent", in which he ended up mind-wiped of memories of her; he does remember traveling with a woman named Clara but not how she looked, sounded, etc. Ouch. However, "Twice Upon a Time" (Twelve's Grand Finale) went on to turn this into Heartwarming in Hindsight in-universe by having said memories restored shortly before he regenerated. | |

As it happens, Rommel is one of the people strong-minded enough to resist the psychic paper's effect, but enough weird stuff is going on that a madman waving an empty wallet in his face barely registers. | |

Named by the Adaptation: When Scott Gray decided to feature the General from "Hell Bent" as a major supporting character in "The Clockwise War", he thought that she needed an actual name and asked Steven Moffat himself for one. Moffat suggested "Kenossium", which is a The Danza/This Is My Name on Foreign combo tip of the hat to Ken Bones, the actor who played the General's previous incarnation ("ossium" is Latin for "bones"). | |

Continuity Cavalcade: In the invokedMilestone Celebration #500, "The Stockbridge Showdown" sees the return of Max Edison, Dogbolter, assorted monsters at Dogbolter's birthday party, Sharon, Chiyoku ("Child of Time"), Clutha ("Hunters of the Burning Stone"), Majenta, Destrii, St Justinian's Church ("Tides of Time"), a reference to Gus Goodman ("4-Dimensional Vistas"), Frobisher, and Izzy. The Twelfth Doctor storyline "The Clockwise War", which is something of a Grand Finale to a whole era of the strip, includes Gol Clutha again, Destrii's Evil Uncle Jodafra, Hugo Wilding and the Lakes from the MI6 arc, Totika and Marshall Reeves from "The Parliament of Fear", Matildus from "Matildus", and Fey, the only DWM companion who wasn't in "Stockbridge Showdown" ... and who is now a baddie. | |

Villain with Good Publicity | |
| Doctor Who Magazine (Magazine) / int_87bb6874 | comment |
One of the villains in "The Clockwise War" is a former member of an upper class dinner club at college, the members of which were noted to behave appallingly due to their entitlement, and who are introduced in a flashback as looking exactly like the Bullingdon Club. This particular member went on to be a politician, secretly retaining this attitude but disguising it as a Villain with Good Publicity. At this point there are a number of former Bullingdon members who might be getting targeted, but when Bill explains the popular perception of this sadist is someone who was really funny on a Panel Game, it pretty much points straight to Boris Johnson. (Although the actual appearance of the character is more like X-Men villain Sebastian Shaw.) Suitably the name of the villain is Alexander Truscott and Boris Johnson's actual first name is Alexander, though he prefers to use Boris to help his lovable bumbler image. | |

Cerebus Retcon: The titular villain of the Twelfth Doctor story "The Phantom Piper" is an Eldritch Abomination Anthropomorphic Personification of war. In the Second Doctor TV story "The Moonbase", a delirious Jamie believed that a Cyberman threatening him was "the Phantom Piper", in the context of that story implied to be some kind of MacCrimmon clan Psychopomp. The comic story, however, gives it a much darker implication. | |

"The Stockbridge Showdown" has Josiah Dogbolter, the story's Big Bad, standing against publicly owned media, believing that a tiny ultra-wealthy elite should control mass media (referencing the anti-BBC campaign by the tycoons of British media, most notably Rupert Murdoch). It also has a very unflattering caricature of British Prime Minister David Cameron as an obsequious condom-headed alien at Dogbolter's birthday party, thanking Dogbolter for helping him win the last election. (The condom head was a deliberate Shout-Out to Steve Bell's newspaper comic strip If, which does the same thing.) | |

Dramatic Irony: In the final scene of Clara's final story, she says that teachers don't need to be remembered, they just need to know they made a difference. The Doctor replies that he's sure Clara's pupils will never forget her, "I know I never will." This was published well after "Hell Bent", in which he was mind-wiped of memories of her (he does recall the adventures they had, but not the things that made him, in the end, love her), aired. The Twelfth Doctor's televised Grand Finale "Twice Upon a Time" went on to undo the mind wipe, however. | |

Reunion Show | |
| Doctor Who Magazine (Magazine) / int_afab5e94 | comment |
Reunion Show: One of the ways the strip marks anniversaries: The strip marked the 25th anniversary of the show with "Planet of the Dead" (not to be confused with the Tenth Doctor TV episode of the same title), in which the Seventh Doctor meets all his predecessors and several companions. Subverted, since all of them are actually evil shape-changing aliens. Issue 250's "A Life of Matter and Death" brings back many of the comic's characters in a battle inside the TARDIS's mind. "Happy Deathday", commemorating the 35th anniversary of Doctor Who, pits the (then-)Eight Doctors against a Legion of Doom of their greatest villains. Issue 500's "The Stockbridge Showdown" sees the Twelfth Doctor team up with almost all of the strip's original companions (aside from Fey). | |

Take That! | |
| Doctor Who Magazine (Magazine) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: In “The Age of Chaos�, the Doctor’s party come across a creature that takes on the form of their worst fears. Frobisher sees a penguin-eating monster, Carf the knight sees an Undignified Death, and the Doctor sees Michael Aspel, presenting This is Your Life. The villain of "Evening's Empire" is a repugnant, misogynistic, nerdy serial rapist who abducts random women to an alternate universe to be his slavegirls. Said universe is explicitly based on his genre-fiction reading, and is an unsubtle parody of the notoriously misogynistic BDSM-themed Gor series. "The Warkeeper's Crown" has a malevolent, bloodthirsty group of Warrior Race aliens abduct the Brigadier and attempt to abduct Mike Yates. However, they abduct a different Mike Yates, a ludicrous, unpleasant little man who was an unsuccessful far-right-wing politician and ends up allying with the aliens. In reality, Richard Franklin, who played the UNIT Mike Yates on TV, has had an unsuccessful political career with a succession of increasingly small and extreme right-wing fringe parties. Though when the strip's writer, Alan Barnes, was asked on Twitter which party Yates was meant to be, Barnes commented he was just an Independent and Wardleswick Immigration Concern was just him and his Mum. "The Stockbridge Showdown" has Josiah Dogbolter, the story's Big Bad, standing against publicly owned media, believing that a tiny ultra-wealthy elite should control mass media (referencing the anti-BBC campaign by the tycoons of British media, most notably Rupert Murdoch). It also has a very unflattering caricature of British Prime Minister David Cameron as an obsequious condom-headed alien at Dogbolter's birthday party, thanking Dogbolter for helping him win the last election. (The condom head was a deliberate Shout-Out to Steve Bell's newspaper comic strip If, which does the same thing.) One of the villains in "The Clockwise War" is a former member of an upper class dinner club at college, the members of which were noted to behave appallingly due to their entitlement, and who are introduced in a flashback as looking exactly like the Bullingdon Club. This particular member went on to be a politician, secretly retaining this attitude but disguising it as a Villain with Good Publicity. At this point there are a number of former Bullingdon members who might be getting targeted, but when Bill explains the popular perception of this sadist is someone who was really funny on a Panel Game, it pretty much points straight to Boris Johnson. (Although the actual appearance of the character is more like X-Men villain Sebastian Shaw.) Suitably the name of the villain is Alexander Truscott and Boris Johnson's actual first name is Alexander, though he prefers to use Boris to help his lovable bumbler image. | |

Interquel | |
| Doctor Who Magazine (Magazine) / int_b6203862 | comment |
Interquel: "Emperor of the Daleks" attempts to fill in the gap between the TV stories "Revelation of the Daleks" and "Remembrance of the Daleks" from Davros's perspective. "Up Above the Gods" is an interquel within an interquel, as it takes place after part one of "Emperor of the Daleks", filling in what happened between the Sixth Doctor and Davros. | |

Whole Costume Reference: In the early-70s-set "The Highgate Vampire", Clara's blue minidress, tights, platform boots and fun-fur coat are copied from Jo's costume in the TV story "The Three Doctors". According to Word of God, the idea was that Jo left the ensemble in the TARDIS wardrobe. | |

Late to the Tragedy | |
| Doctor Who Magazine (Magazine) / int_bba30aeb | comment |
Late to the Tragedy: Parodied in "Death to the Doctor!", which ends with the Doctor and Martha arriving on a space station strewn with corpses, and the Doctor lamenting that he arrived too late to prevent whatever disaster happened from occuring. The entire previous section of the story depicted the cause of this: a gang of loser villains gathering to try to form a Legion of Doom against the Doctor and all killing one another in paranoia that one of them might be him in disguise. | |

Knight Templar: The Vortexian Union is pledged to unify the galaxy's races, to bring harmony and order to all species, serving as their protectors - regardless of what the galaxy's races might have to say on the matter - and to that end, where they have jurisdiction, they will punish anything they see as threatening life or the public good. They don't believe in accidents, holding that all actions made by sentient life must be accountable. They do believe in the sanctity of all life, so they've decided not to use death sentences on those who break their laws, but their more serious punishments are essentially Fates Worse Than Death. | |

Grand Theft Me: Destrii does this to Izzy, hoping to take her place as the Eighth Doctor's companion. The result is that due to both her and the Doctor believing her original body to have been destroyed, Izzy spends several stories in Destrii's body before she is mistaken for the real deal and kidnapped. From there, the Doctor learns Destrii is still alive in Izzy's body, but ultimately other forces undo the body swap. Izzy leaves the TARDIS after this and a reformed Destrii finally becomes his companion. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Doctor Who Magazine (Magazine) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Dr Ivan Asimoff, whose name is a shout-out to sci-fi author Isaac Asimov. In "Exodus/Revelation/Genesis", all the mad scientists are named after characters played in sci-fi or horror films by Boris Karloff. The Doctor lampshades this by pointing out that one of them, Kraal, looks like him. Their security man Krogh is named after, and looks like, the policeman in Son of Frankenstein, played by Lionel Atwill. In "Echoes of the Mogor", all of the Foreign Hazard Duty Space Marines are named after real-world creators associated with the Alien franchise. In "The Good Soldier", which is set around a diner and gas station in Nevada in 1954, the gas station is branded Roxxon, an evil oil company in the Marvel Universe. In "The Curse of the Scarab", the human villain, a film director called Seth Rakoff, is named after Alvin Rakoff, a prominent BBC director who subsequently moved to Hollywood. In "Endgame", there is a reference to "Old Mrs. Parkhouse", which is a shout-out to Steve Parkhouse, the earlier writer on the strip who created the setting and characters revisited in the story. The Toymaker's main human minion is named "Marwood", which is the All There in the Script name of "I", the character played by Eighth Doctor actor Paul McGann in Withnail and I. The Toymaker refers to having beaten "Le Chiffre" at baccarat. Izzy, being a geek, does this a lot. In the first installment of "Fire & Brimstone", she starts off rhapsodising about these books she's reading featuring "this mad city called Ankh-Morpork" (the Doctor says he's been there) and then, when they encounter the residents of the space station Icarus Falling, declares "Klaatu Barada Nikto!" while flashing a Vulcan salute. | |

Cerebus Syndrome: The comics started out as very episodic, but starting with Steve Parkhouse's Fifth Doctor strips began to be linked together into lengthy Story Arcs. When the TV series was revived in 2005, the comic strip went back to episodic stories that could easily fit between TV episodes, but later returned to long arcs, beginning with the comics published during 2009 when only a few TV specials were shown. | |

Readers will be able to conclude, although he didn't know, that since there has been so much interference in the Whoniverse Earth's early history by aliens, he would probably end up erasing the human race, at least as he knew it, from history as well. | |

All members of this race are stunningly attractive women with physical ages of eighteen to twenty, a fact which mystifies their own scientists. After victory in battles, they would always massage their bodies in scented oils. The Tenth Doctor enlists Amazastian mercenaries led by Phalia to rescue Rose Tyler from the acolytes of Iagnon on Iagnos. It is possible, however, that they are merely the product of a fever dream on Rose's part. | |

Continuity Snarl: Even when the strip started creating its own UNIT continuity, it developed a new dating problem. The 1990-1 story "The Mark of Mandragora" introduced a new major UNIT character Muriel Frost, in which she was depicted with the rank of Captain. By "Evening's Empire", published a few months later, she's become a Colonel — except that "The Mark of Mandragora" was set, by implication, on Millennium Eve, and definitely after 1997, while "Evening's Empire" visually appears to be set at publication date (clothing fashions and vehicles, in particular). The whole "death of Ace" situation as described above under Alternate Continuity. | |

May It Never Happen Again: In "Thinktwice", the Doctor infiltrates the titular inter-galactic prison which is being run by a mad doctor, who removes the inmates' memories of who they are until they're nothing more than moaning, braindead vegetables; feeding their minds to eldritch abominations which grow impatient and go on the rampage. At the climax, the Doctor tells one of the prison staff that he has to ensure Thinktwice is closed down and that the inter-galactic authorities know what's happened so that the mad doctor can never repeat his crimes again. | |

Crossover | |
| Doctor Who Magazine (Magazine) / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: Marvel had a way of bringing all of their licensed properties into the same, if not universe, then multiverse. One Marvel character, Death's Head, is once thrown out of The Transformers (Marvel) into the Doctor's TARDIS. And later thrown out of the TARDIS into Fantastic Four's Four Freedoms Plaza. | |

Beethoven Was an Alien Spy | |
| Doctor Who Magazine (Magazine) / int_ec7da60a | comment |
Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: The Doctor's crossed paths with King Arthur and Merlin (Marvel's version, not their own future self), artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, Spring-Heeled Jack, George Custer and Sitting Bull, William Shakespeare and Robert Greene, Ernest Shackleton, C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien, Socrates and Plato, the Golem of Prague, pilot Amy Johnson, Erwin Rommel, Harry Houdini, Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler, and Bruce Lee. He also helped inspire the game of conkers. Abraham White helped nudge many of the inventors of the late 19th/early 20th centuries along - such as Alexander Bell, Nikolai Tesla, Rudolf Diesel and Henry Ford - inspired by an encounter with Thomas Edison. A number of historical celebrities, including Alan Turing and the Bronte sisters, had their minds copied into android bodies and taken into the future. The Doctor uncovers the truth behind the Highgate Vampire in "The Highgate Horror". When talking about how certain rumours get started, the Doctor mentions never hearing the end of it after taking two princes to see the Eiffel Tower, possibly alluding to the Princes in the Tower. | |

Canon Immigrant: For "Change of Mind", Kate Orman brought in Hamlet Macbeth, from her New Adventure The Left-Handed Hummingbird, this being in the period when the strip and NAs still shared a continuity. | |
