== Additional details ==
* Additional Input: Letters Page (from DWM 53): For the second time TV: The War Games is incorrectly called the longest Doctor Who story.
* The cover images are from TV: The Three Doctors and the Fourth Doctor from TV: Robot.
* This "Special 50th Issue" of DWM includes a free A2 full colour pull-out showing all four Doctors with a listing of their adventures (indicating the number of individual episodes). Although this is a stapled insert and so could be regarded as a part of the magazine and its occasional use of centre colour pages, the reverse side is blank and for this reason is not being counted as a 'normal' but a special addition.
* The first part of a detailed Episode Guide to all the Doctor's adventures begins in this issue.
* The Archives feature returns to breaking the story down into episodes.
* The letters page is renamed "Doctor Who Letters".
* The year is not included on the front cover, which had a cover price of 30p (UK).
