The History Tour (comic series)

The History Tour was a short series of one-page comic strips by Tim Quinn and Dicky Howett that were printed in Doctor Who Magazine. It was introduced alternatively as The Doctor Who History Tour, The Doctor Who History Tour Inc, Ye Doctor Who History Tour, The Famous Doctor Who History Tour and The Incredible Doctor Who History Tour. The series afforded a mostly serious yet comedic and highly inaccurate look at various points in history.
The History Tour marked the first Doctor Who work Quinn and Howett had done other than their popular three-panel Doctor Who? which debuted in DWM 64 and outlived the series, lasting until DWM 225. During the course of the series, Quinn and Howett published The Doctor Who Fun Book in the same style and later published It's Bigger on the Inside! after its conclusion.
The History Tour featured the Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown in all instalments with the Doctor attempting to show Peri all of Earth's history from Event One to 1963. A notable exception to this was No. 8 in which the Third Doctor briefly replaced his sixth incarnation for one story because, as he said himself "Regency England [was his] specialty".
