Big Finish Productions are to release deluxe hardback reissues of the Radio Times specials which celebrated Doctor Who’s tenth and twentieth anniversaries.

Doctor Who has been entertaining fans for over sixty years now, and every anniversary has been marked with a celebration. For the show’s tenth and twentieth anniversaries, in 1973 and1983, the iconic listings magazine Radio Times put out special celebratory editions.

Those two classic magazines have now been restored and are due to be republished as collector’s edition hardback books, released this November by Big Finish Productions.

The magazines are packed with features, including interviews with Doctor Who actors and creatives, as well as original fiction by Daleks creator Terry Nation and series script editor Eric Saward.

Big Finish senior producer John Ainsworth said:

The 10th anniversary and 20th anniversary Radio Times specials were unique publications, marking Doctor Who's first two significant anniversaries. Both offered insights into the series and its history, and became treasured, well-thumbed reference works by all who bought them.

The original publications are now rare to find, and – due to their magazine format – even rarer to find in good condition. So, it’s particularly exciting that Big Finish now has the opportunity to publish, for the first time, exact replicas of both these specials, in hardback volumes.

Painstaking work has been carried out to restore photographs, and to make these specials accurate in every detail, replicating the original publications. These two books will become essential works in any Doctor Who library.

The Radio Times Doctor Who 10th and 20th Anniversary Specials are now available to pre-order for £25 each, or £45 for a multi-buy bundle of the two books.
