The Basics - Issue 106, November 1985. The front cover has a photo from The Mutants.

News And Views - JNT has confirmed that both Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant will resume their roles throughout the 23rd season. Philip Martin is due to supply another script, while it is unlikely that Graham Williams' script set in Blackpool and featuring the return of the Celestial Toymaker will open the season. MDB mentions rumours that the new season will consist of a mere 14 twenty-five minute episodes, and that Gallifrey may be destroyed, with a hint that the Autons may be returning.

Reviews - On Target reviews Timelash - "an entertaining book that very definitely expands and enhances the teleplay."

Boxpops - Edge of Darkness debuts on BBC2 on 4th November. Top of the pop charts in November 85 are the continuing The Power of Love and Feargal Sharkey's A Good Heart.

Skaro Says - Craig Rollins remembers the various plot rumours regarding the "original" Season 23, and wonders if it would have looked as good as it sounded (Lance Bayliss says it would have done), or if it would have been another continuity overload. He also wonders what happened to change Nicola Bryant staying throughout the season. The last few issues have represented a real downturn in quality for Jon Masters, with even the comic strip starting to show a lack of quality. The interviews remained of interest though. Edge of Darkness was the first adult drama that he was interested enough in to watch. Both he and Nathan Cooke bought the EP of the theme music, while Nathan also got the script book and notes, and was delighted that Michael Grade ordered an almost immediate repeat on BBC1.
