DWM 106

The 106th issue of Doctor Who Magazine had a cover date of November 1985. It was the last issue to have the title The Doctor Who Magazine. The following issue was branded simply Doctor Who Magazine, a title that remains to this day.

This issue is notable for featuring the results of a contest asking readers to write lyrics for a Doctor Who theme song. One of the winners, whose lyrics were published in this issue, was fan Chris Chibnall who would go on to write for both Doctor Who and Torchwood and, in January 2016, be appointed Steven Moffat's successor as showrunner of Doctor Who.
