From May 1987: another issue (number 43) of DOCTOR WHO BULLETIN (aka DWB).
Unfortunately the run I acquired skipped a couple of issues but it looks like the mag took a brief hiatus and then returned with this restyled (and much neater) cover layout.
Who could resist a centre spread tease like that?
Regarding the main headline, this was a reference to Patrick Troughton's passing away just a couple of months earlier. It's doubly sad since in later years at conventions he expressed frustration that so many of his episodes were missing. To this day, Episode 2 of "The Evil of the Daleks" represents his sole surviving Dalek episode.
ReplyDeleteLittle was anyone to know that two complete, and two nearly-complete stories of his were to be recovered in the years to come. In that respect, the headline was still sort-of relevant at least as late as 2013 - although not really beyond that, as the so-called "omnirumor" has been largely discredited since his last 9 episodes were announced as recovered three years ago.
