TV Sci-Fi Monthly was a very short-lived glossy poster magazine from 1976. Published by a company named Sportscene, it lasted only 8 issues - and this might have been down to the subject matter it elected to include.
Whilst Star Trek was hugely popular and featured in every issue, the magazine opted to concentrate on other series that didn't have quite the same impact. You could say it hitched its wagon to the wrong horses.
Of the two series which also manage to get a feature every issue, The Six Million Dollar Man got very good ratings, but the same couldn't be said of Space:1999...
Doctor Who was only featured in two of the issues. No.1 had a single page item on the Daleks:
The big image came from Genesis of the Daleks and, unfortunately, was one from studio rehearsals - with the lips on Michael Wisher's Davros mask absent.
The only other issue with Doctor Who content was No.4:
This time it was a proper feature, concentrating on behind the scenes information, as well as providing the usual overview / introduction for readers who might not be that familiar with the series.
On the back page was a nice big colour Zygon portrait.
