Doctor Who Bulletin

Doctor Who Bulletin, also known as DWB, dwb or DW Bulletin, was a Doctor Who fanzine first published in July 1983 by Gary Levy (later known as Gary Leigh). 
The publication became well known for its often overtly hostile, “dissident” attitude towards the series (and then-incumbent producer John Nathan-Turner), particularly in comparison with contemporary issues of either the DWAS newsletter Celestial Toyroom or Marvel Comics’ Doctor Who Monthly—both of which were required to maintain good working relationships with the Doctor Who Production Office and the BBC's commercial wing, BBC Enterprises. 
From 1989, in order to help secure wider distribution in specialist science fiction bookshops (and to avoid the opprobrium of the BBC and official licensee Marvel Comics, which could have argued dwb had become a commercial but unlicensed Doctor Who magazine), the publication widened its editorial coverage to include other genre films and television shows, such as Star Trek: The Next Generation, Red Dwarf and The X-Files. The retitled DreamWatch Bulletin (enabling the retention of the symmetrical dwb logo) continued until 1994, when the publication was relaunched (with numbering reverting to issue 1) as the nationally-distributed Dreamwatch magazine. 
Dreamwatch was subsequently purchased by Titan Magazines in 2001, becoming the company’s only non-licensed title and their response to Visual Imagination's Starburst (acquired 1985) and Future's SFX (launched in 1995). The final print edition of Dreamwatch was issue 150, published in 2007; the title was succeeded by online publication Total Sci-Fi, which was regularly updated until 2011.
