DWM 589


DWM 589 is in the shops from tomorrow. It promises to give us the results of the first part of the 60th Anniversary Poll - the Hartnell and Troughton stories. Voting will open for the 1980's stories this week.
Other contents include a look at the Amazing Worlds of Doctor Who Typhoo Tea promotion of the 1970's. You collected photographic cards in boxes of tea bags and could send away for a book and poster on which to mount them. The book, which had a cover by Chris Achilleos) had some monster features, as well as fiction lifted from the annuals. It is topical as some of this fiction is about to be released on vinyl.
The cards were: The Fourth Doctor (publicity picture from Genesis of the Daleks), Sarah Jane Smith (with rifle, from Pyramids of Mars), Dalek (Death to the Daleks), Davros (Genesis of the Daleks), Cyberman (Revenge of the Cybermen), Ice Warrior (costume from Blackpool Exhibition), Krynoid (bipedal version from The Seeds of Doom), the TARDIS (from Part 6 of The Seeds of Doom), Sea Devil portrait, Alpha Centauri (Monster of Peladon), the K1 Robot, and a Zygon.
Flatline is this month's "Fact of Fiction". Cleo Sylvestre, should you be wondering, was a background artiste on The Crusade.
