Doctor Who Adventures #9 – Let the festivities begin!

• Doctor Who Adventures Issue Nine with a Free Dalek Blaster and mega poster is on sale in all good newsagents – and also now available once again as a digital edition through Pocketmags.com here and for iPad via iTunes here (although of course you don’t get the blaster with the digital edition and it’s hard to nail an iPad to your wall instead of a poster)
