Fabulous news that you'll be examining the Who's in depth. There is so much lore, so many interesting variations, puzzling decisions by the publishers....it's a whole world unto itself. Can't wait 🙂

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks,I shall be trying to make the ultimate by video guide to the series. I'm in contact with another collector who is going to be lending me a few pieces from his collection to show as well. Can't wait to get stuck in. Hopefully the first part next month.🙂 Thanks Anthony 👍

[@raresaturn]

As an Aussie I remember reading about the legendary Longleat convention and being extremely jealous.. it was like the Woodstock of Doctor Who!

[@JulesBurt]

It really was quite amazing. I shall never forget it🙂

[@diana1938]

Great video as always Jules. The only observation I would make regarding this magazine is that when you buy a copy you don't know which CD you're going to get until you open it and therefore are running the risk of getting a CD which you already own, fortunately when I bought my copy it came with a CD which I didn't already have in my collection of Doctor Who CD's (Patrick Troughton's The Enemy Of The World) otherwise another fantastic video looking at a great magazine, looking forward to your future videos.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. You're absolutely right, there's no way to determine what CD you're going to get and I suspect a deal was done to clear surplus old stock. I personally would have definitely preferred a classic era story rather than the one I got but I guess it's a roll of the dice.

[@diana1938]

I completely agree Jules, it probably was a deal to clear out some surplus stock. I remember that Doctor Who Magazine gave away a free target book with issue 397 (I got one which I already owned) which I'm guessing was another occasion when they were getting rid of surplus stock. I wonder what surplus stock they'll want to get rid of next?@@JulesBurt

[@JulesBurt]

@@diana1938 Who knows? There is certainly a demand for and real love for Doctor Who books but the long time fan has probably seen most of this before tbh.

[@daveac]

Thanks Jules! At 5m 38 on the left side there is the cover artwork for 'Doctor Who and the Crusaders' - I remember that artwork being featured on an episode of the 'Antiques Roadshow' May 2019

[@JulesBurt]

Wow, I wonder what their estimate was?

[@peterwainwright576]

Looks a great reference. Many thanks Jules for your great review

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks a lot Peter🙂👍

[@user-un9go4qe5i]

Bought this. A good, but straightforward, guide to every Target book. Nicely illustrated. My free audio book was 'Underworld'.

[@JulesBurt]

Great stuff, I wish I had got a classic story too. Yes, agreed, straight forward, nothing earth shattering but a good reference if you've not got the Telos book or previous guides

[@ElfGoblin]

The only Doctor Who book I remember buying was the one with the Loch Ness monster and I really enjoyed it so I was surprised you were slightly sniffy about it. I bought it through a catalogue that my primary school gave us every so often. You filled in the form with your choices and gave the money to the teacher and then the book arrived after a couple of weeks or so. I remember my mum always sighed when she saw my choices because she thought I wasn't stretching myself enough.

[@JulesBurt]

It's called The Loch Ness Monster and I never really rated that original story of indeed the book. It's a great period of Doctor Who, but that one, for me is a bit of a turkey. My school had a book shop of sorts, had a few DW....

[@johnmooney9403]

Fabulous video Jules. I remember reading some of the target Doctor Who novels at my local library they were awesome.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks very much John👍

[@sylvanyoung]

Great . I remember reading some of thoses . ( I was much younger then 😊) . Most came from the library .The TD stories were my first .This will look cool in a hard back .( of cause it will cost more ) .The Doctor was an iconic dresser .lol . Whose you fave outfit ? .Thanks for the show and tell .

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Sylvan! Yes,va hardback would be pretty decent but I'm ok as is. Favourite outfit? A tough choice but I'd say Tom Baker's suited him best.

[@sylvanyoung]

​💯👍👍

[@alvinmarcus5780]

I wish we had grown up with the good doctor over here across the pond. 😀

[@JulesBurt]

It's true, I think the main issue was because they were originally in black and white....

[@new_memeplex]

There is nothing in pop culture as deep as the love of the Target generation who grew up reading the novelisations in the 1970s and 1980s.

[@JulesBurt]

I'd be very tempted to agree with you. They are almost mythic amongst collectors of a certain age.🙂

[@philipmsearle1399]

Looks like great read, Jules, but as it s BBC it s only available in the UK, i presume. Thanks for the videos. They re always entertaining and informative.

[@JulesBurt]

Like the Doctor Who Magazine, it'll be available worldwide but probably just the specialist shops. EBay have plenty though so you could possibly import a copy?

[@philipmsearle1399]

Luckily i'll be visiting the UK over the summer so with any luck i'll find one in a Forbidden Planet, possibly. Cheers.

[@SolitaryWolf]

Thank. you so much for detailing the contents. I'm more excited to get my hands on one in the USA even if it doesn't have the CD. I want the articles!

[@JulesBurt]

I'm sure they'll be imported or you'll be able to get one off eBay.

[@TimelordUK]

I only want the magazine, not the cd

[@Christian-qu9ml]

Bloody awesome! 😎

[@JulesBurt]

Yep, it's a pretty decent read and a good reference.

[@Christian-qu9ml]

@@JulesBurt I would buy it, but the scalpers are charging exorbitant prices on eBay. 😢

[@user-ft5ud6ry8u]

Thankyou for your review

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks my friend 🙂

[@carltardis]

Fantastic, I've just ordered it on the panini website

[@TimelordUK]

@@carltardis yes this appears to be the cheapest way. I just don't want a random CD! If I'm paying money like that I want to be able to chose what they send me. I would only ever be interested in a classic series story

[@JulesBurt]

Ah yes, good idea.

[@JulesBurt]

It's probably intentional to clear old stock....

[@TimelordUK]

I'm not a fan of the new stuff, and by that I mean anything since Eccleston played the doctor in the reboot, however I love the look of this target guide. I wish it was available to purchase alone because I would never ever listen to that cd set. Loved this calming video Jules. Thank you for showing that badge. I have searched online for it for years and never seen one. Is that the actual badge you could send for by filling out the coupon in the back of the target books? I look forward to your Target videos

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks my friend. It is a bit of a shame that you can't just buy the magazine on it's own. Since I got a CD, it would have been good to have received a classic story rather than a new series one. That Target badge is indeed the original one that was available via the coupon. Mine came from legendary Dr Who dealer of the 80's, John Fitton. It was his personal one. It's very scarce and not marked or branded, so tough to find. I'm looking forward to filming the books again myself too.

[@TimelordUK]

@@JulesBurt those badges never appear on eBay. I can't even find any photo references on the internet!!! I thought I was imagining it! I've got one that says I'm a member of the target book club or something but it doesn't have the bullseye logo on it. I'd love someone to make a reproduction of this badge

[@JulesBurt]

@@TimelordUK I know what you mean, unless you got one at the time they do seem impossible to find these days. It took me two years to get one. A repro should be very easy though as it has no markings of any sort on it.

[@user-ft5ud6ry8u]

My 1st book i bought was dr who and the cave monsters. It was very difficult to get the hardbacks back then and they were more expensive. The five doctors paperback came out before the tv story was transmitted and the two doctors 2nd edition came out before the 1st edition or maybe they found some 1st editions in a warehouse and sent them out later. Also the curse of peladon hardback cover has the incorrect cover on the front.

[@JulesBurt]

Cave Monsters was my first one as well, I think?! It was a long time ago🙂 I read the Five Doctors about two weeks before transmission!

[@user-ft5ud6ry8u]

@@JulesBurt lol naughty.......i only read the 1st page as i didn`t it to spoil my enjoyment. I have the japanese, portugese,french and dutch versions of these books.

[@JulesBurt]

@user-ft5ud6ry8u fantastic, I've not gone down the foreign route but I'm hoping to borrow a friend's copies when I start covering them in detail.
