DWM 265

The 265th issue of Doctor Who Magazine was released on 7 May 1998 and removed from British newsstands on 3 June 1998.

This issue was notable for displaying the results of the first series-wide poll to declare the favourite episode of all Doctor Who episodes aired at the time. Genesis of the Daleks received the honour of being the first serial chosen by fans as the best. Conversely, The Twin Dilemma suffered the unfortunate distinction of coming in at the very bottom of the polls.
