(with thanks to Jeremy Bentham and Tony Clark): Alerted by a posting on the web site of Blackpool’s Who shop, it seems plans are afoot to release a Doctor Who DVD Files Magazine.

Part works publishers GE Fabbri, publishers of the Doctor Who magazine Battles in Time and magazine-video titles such as Ronnie Barker, Charmed and Stargate SG-1 are behind the plans, but told downthetubes the project was at a very early stage.
