Is anyone still buying this?

There's an extra ten pages and FANTASTIC FREE TRAINER BAG AND FOUR COOL BADGES with Issue 19. Nice Tennant interview as well. Packed with so much info!

The comic strip is better than DWM's these days.

Did I mention the "FREE POSTER MAG"?

I'm off to do my Christmas shopping wearing my "Scary Santa Mask" and Trainer Bag.

I've been waiting almost a month for someone to start a thread about my favourite bedtime read...

at 35 years old I think I'm a little bit on the old side to be buying kids magazines..

**Jonno** · 16th Dec 2006, 3:43 PM

Whaddya mean still buying this? I've never bought it!

**Simon R** · 16th Dec 2006, 4:51 PM

I Bruce Purchased this because I liked them badges. We haven't bothered with it for ages. It's nice that it exists and the free gifts are good but it has no other level for adults to enjoy...although I liked the nods to the past in the comedy snowscape picture...Melanie Bush ice skating and so on.

I'm still getting it for Kieran, but haven't got the latest issue yet. I will do though, as Kieran is quite keen on getting the trainer bag.

**Milky Tears** · 16th Dec 2006, 5:45 PM

I've bought every issue...

**Andrew Curnow** · 16th Dec 2006, 7:01 PM

The PE bag is really good, and will be used next term I'm sure. The badges are good too, and I was very pleased to see that they are proper metal safety-pin badges, rather than plastic-clip ones.

**Paul Clement** · 16th Dec 2006, 8:32 PM

Kieran could do with the PE bag, as his Dalek bag has recently ripped at the bottom. I'm actually surprised they're still giving away the free gifts, I'd assumed they were a promotional ploy that would go after the first half dozen issues.

To be honest, I'm constantly amazed that they make any money on it with the amount they give away.

then again that might depend on the quality of the stuff they are giving away..

I was very disappointed that the trainer bag wouldn't fit on my head. Good issue this month, nice to see a cover without Daleks or Cybermen. Prominently featured on the front in the middle, at any rate. They're relegated to the corners this time.

are you usualy in the habbit of sticking bags over your head..

**Rob McCow** · 17th Dec 2006, 10:09 AM

Only ones with air-holes and cool pictures of Daleks on them.

**Si Hunt** · 17th Dec 2006, 11:39 AM

It may be light to read, but it's a fun little thing to pick up sometimes I find, and the gifts have occasionally been nice to have. You're never too old to find a use for a Doctor Who pencil, for example, and the stickers have come in useful brightening up correspondance, as a few of you will discover when you get our Christmas Card this year.

Si.

So have I. They are all sealed in lvely mag bags with the free gifts still intact.....just in case.

**Milky Tears** · 22nd Jan 2007, 5:54 PM

Worth buying Issue 21 (17 January) for the free pack of playing cards.

More free stickers with the next issue.

The cards are very good - we had a great game of Stop the Bus yesterday. I look forward to trying to play bridge with them (my bid - 3 Slitheen)

Pip Madeley · 22nd Jan 2007, 6:39 PM

I bought the issue for those cards last week, they're great

**Jonno** · 22nd Jan 2007, 8:40 PM

Could be useful for The Five Doctors drinking game (which I've never tried, hint, hint!).

Pip Madeley · 22nd Jan 2007, 8:46 PM

I'll be taking them to the Soap recording

**Jason Thompson** · 25th Jan 2007, 11:46 PM

An accident or deliberate tease on the cover of the latest issue?

A small blue circle with the words 'See how to play on page 26' and an arrow points to the free gift, a rather nifty Doctor Who playing card deck. Take the free gift off the cover and that arrow, and hence those words, points rather directly towards Billie's bum....

**Andrew Curnow** · 26th Jan 2007, 6:37 PM

Good point Jason - although personally I'm more shocked by the warning attached to Billie's derriere that it is "not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts." And the less said about it being a "CHOKING HAZARD" the better...

**Dirk Gently** · 29th Jan 2007, 3:33 PM

my socks off @ Andrew!

**Milky Tears** · 15th Feb 2007, 7:02 PM

Latest ABC figures show that average circulation is now over 100,000 copies!!

http://www.abc.org.uk/cgi-bin/gen5?r...=nav/abc&noc=y

107,557 July-December 2006

It was one of the market leaders (well above Toxic, Disney, Balamory, Bratz, Kraze Club, Power Rangers and Barbie. Up there with The Simpsons and Girl Talk) during a period when the series was hardly on air!

Pip Madeley · 15th Feb 2007, 8:32 PM

Rightfully so - the free gifts are a big factor, I'd say.
