The DWAS free to members Celestial Toyroom #514 is out now, and whatever your views of recent series, the cover is superb (and a little psychedelic IMHO). Full details here. Do read JR Southall’s article on the show’s future. >>> Message Ends <<<
Issue 2 of the recently revived TARDIS magazine is ready and available to order. I understand it might even be more impressively laid out than the first issue.

The DWAS kicks off 2021 with the free Celestial Toyroom Annual 2021 and it’s all things Second Doctor with a great cover, piece from Anneke Wills and every Patrick Troughton story covered. You can grab it now from the link, and if you look around you can still get the previous few for free a…

The freely downloadable (not even an email address sign-up required) Cosmic Masque XII from the DWAS has just appeared on the DWAS site. It’s a PDF of over 60 pages. Despite the Third Doctor cover, much of the material looks at Time Lord Victorious. There’s also a healthy dose of fan fiction and some reviews.…
DWAS members should already have the latest Celestial Toyroom 511 (at least in the UK). The cover tells you the Master is the focus, but there’s actually a lot of articles about being a Doctor Who fan. Rik Moran edited and more details are available on the Doctor Who Appreciation Society site. <<= Message Ends…

Members of the Doctor Who Appreciation Society (DWAS) should be getting their double issue Celestial Toyroom 508/9 around now.

Now copies of the reborn TARDIS magazine from the DWAS are popping through people’s doors, I can talk about the article I wrote. Called 2020 Vision: Living in Exciting Times it’s an unashamedly positive look at the health of Doctor Who and looking forward to the show’s continued evolution.
