Forum:Doctor Who Adventures (Magazine)

Hi, I've been working on the BBC's Doctor Who Adventures title recently as a route to getting some of the Tenth Doctor's comic strip adventures covered. And I came across another page (well I did look at it first to be honest!), and I thought I should just explain why I didn't use the existing Doctor Who Adventures page, in favour of Doctor Who Adventures (Magazine) before anyone asks. Quite simply, although the printed title is Doctor Who Adventures, it is referred to in articles and interviews as Doctor Who Adventures magazine. In various contexts the term "Doctor Who adventures", could be ambiguous, and "magazine" (because the title isn't a comic), could be confused with Panini's Doctor Who Magazine. With the title only now, having gone weekly, there was the possibility of it being called Doctor Who Weekly, but as that title has already been used, Doctor Who Adventures Weekly, could have been another possibility. As the abbreviation DWA already exists for Doctor Who Annual, I took the decision to add M, so that the abbreviation DWAM could be used with specific reference to the BBC title, but dropped the M for specific issue coverage. Hope its not muddled thinking. Any comments? The Librarian 00:09, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
