Picture special: Dr Who and the Radio Times

Almost as traditional by now as the ratings-bustin' Christmas night episode of 'Doctor Who' is the just-before-Christmas edition of the esteemed Radio Times which tends to boasts a glorious pictorial cover previewing the episode and an inside feature just to whet the appetite. With December issues of Radio Times appearing almost daily at the moment in the rush to get to the Christmas double edition it's hard to keep up with what's out when but the issue appears to be hitting the shops on Thursday 2nd December and here's a preview of the cover to keep an eye out as you scan the shelves at WH Smiths (other newsagents are available...but not many)
