Celebrate four decades of a whole new type of Doctor with Doctor Who Magazine 575
It’s forty years since Peter Davison became Doctor Who’s first ever ‘young Doctor.’ The actor established the breathless enthusiasm and sense of an old soul trapped in a young man’s body, that would go on to inform this century’s Tenth and Eleventh Doctors. To celebrate, DWM’s cover features this month look at the very best of the Fifth Doctor era, chats to script editor Eric Saward about the Fifth Doctor adventures we never got to see, and takes a nostalgic look back at DWM itself in 1983.
