Special Edition of DW Insider for UK

Those lovely people at Panini have put together a Special Edition version of the North American Doctor Who magazine, Doctor Who Insider, for release in the UK.

If you are already subscribing to DWI this isn't for you, but if, like me you don't, then you might want to take a look.

The Doctor Who Insider Special Edition is out now for £6.99.
