TEDW 7

The seventh issue of The Essential Doctor Who was centred on the Time Lords.

Publisher's summary
"The oldest and most mighty race in the universe, looking down on the galaxies below. Sworn never to interfere, only to watch.

The Doctor's own people, and his home planet, were introduced in 1969 as a major chapter in the series' history came to an end. Five decades later, the Time Lords, and their devastating war with the Daleks are still essential parts of Doctor Who's mythology.

This special publication analyses every story set on Gallifrey, reveals previously unseen images from the making of the episodes and interviews key players in the Time Lords' fascinating story.
