DWM 194

The 194th issue of Doctor Who Magazine was released on 26 November 1992 and removed from British newsstands on 23 December 1992.

It brought to a close John Nathan-Turner's formal involvement with the magazine. From almost the dawn of the magazine, he had been the formal "advisor" to DWM, a fact which coloured readers' impressions of coverage of the "JNT era".
