Articles

 * Travelling Companions - Susan Foreman the first of the companions makes a fitting subject for the start of this new series on the characters who have shared the TARDIS with the Doctor. By Richard Marson.
 * The Daleks - Fish and chips, the Royal Family, Doctor Who and the Daleks: British side by side. If Doctor Who ended tomorrow, for years to come we would still see children playing at being Daleks, just as they did in the lengthy gap - five years - between Evil of the Daleks and The Day of the Daleks. What made them quite so popular no one knows; perhaps they fill a gap that most fantasy creations in the 1960s were unable to do/ They made their creator, Terry Nation a rich man and their designer Ray Cusick little better off, as they swept across Britain in a wave of merchandising. By Philip Dickson.
