Additional details

 * Additional input from DWM : Episode Guide: The Evil of the Daleks was repeated after The Wheel in Space, from Season 4. The transmission dates were 8.6.68 - 3.8.68, except the 29.6 and 6.7, when there was a break for Wimbledon, not the Olympics.
 * The first episode had a new introductory voice over by Patrick Troughton and Wendy Padbury. The Dominators linked in directly with this, with the Doctor complaining that the projection of thought patterns was all very tiring!
 * Episodes 1, 2 and 3 of The Tenth Planet also exists in the BBC Archive.
 * George Sewell was the star of 'Special Branch' at Euston and not 'Strange Report'.
 * Julian Vince supplied all the colour photos and models of the Daleks, impressively recreating scenes for the Nostalgia feature and also the cover with Neale Montague, recreating the role of Dortmun.
 * This issue was priced £1.25 (UK).
