Radio Times

Radio Times is a weekly BBC magazine that publishes television and radio program listings. It has also published original Doctor Who fiction. In 1973 it published the short story We are the Daleks!, and in 1983 it published the short story Birth of a Renegade. In the 1990s it published an Eighth Doctor comic strip. =Significant Notes=
 * Besides giving cast and broadcast details for broadcast material on both TV and radio the Radio Times is also significant in terms of Doctor Who for including related articles and features. The number of cover issues reflects its popularity and standing with the BBC and has never been stronger since the new Who launch in 2005, with the series on a few occasions featured multiple times over the course of only a few weeks (for example near the end of 2009).
 * No other television series have had more covers than Doctor Who.
 * Doctor Who covers are the most collectable Radio Times covers.
 * Each of Jon Pertwee's seasons as the Third Doctor were heralded by a Radio Times cover.
 * Tom Baker never had a Radio Times cover during his era, although he did later appear on a retrospective cover.
 * Omitted from below are the weekly issue details, TV choice and pick of the day columns. These have recently been issued on DVD's as extra PDF files.
 * Significant articles only are listed below.

=Radio Times Cover Gallery and Feature Guide= Radio Times holds its own annual Radio Times Covers Party, a prestigous event where cover stars are awarded framed covers, since the 2005 relaunch the Doctor Who team have been the recipients of more covers than any other series on TV.
 * Andrew Skilleter collected a framed cover of his 20th Anniversary piece for The Five Doctors in 1983, one of the illustrators to do so.
