Chronicles: 1966


Just when you think they've discontinued the Chronicles, DWM announce there will be another one. It's not due until May 2026 and it covers the pivotal year of 1966, when the first change of Doctor took place and the Cybermen made their first appearance.
Sara Kingdom and Steven Taylor departed, whilst Dodo Chaplet both came and went. Ben and Polly arrived, as did Jamie right at year's end.
Stories covered will be The Daleks' Master Plan through to Power of the Daleks (The Highlanders having been covered in the 1967 Chronicles).
The usual other articles will include biographies of the regular cast members, the VFX, location filming, studio recording, that year's Annual and any other merchandise, plus a look at what else people were watching that year.
It may be that these are going to continue as a once a year thing. Hopefully they will go forward chronologically rather than random fashion as before. 
I notice Panini are still selling the 2007 one, so these seem a lot more popular with fans of the classic era.
