The Basics - Issue 121, February 1987. The main photo on the front cover is of the Fifth Doctor, while the back cover pin up is from The Celestial Toymaker.

News And Views - In a quiet month for news, there is still no definite confirmation of another season, although it has been widely rumoured that Colin Baker has signed up for a further run as the Doctor. Andrew Pixley writes in to correct some mistakes in issue 118.

Reviews - The second story of Season 23 is reviewed - "The story was a visual tour-de-force; the storyline was basically sound, easy to follow and fun." Off The Shelf reviews The Romans - "disappointing in the extreme - it fails on just about every count."

Boxpops - Top of the pop charts in February 87 were I Knew You Were Waiting For Me by George Michael and Aretha Franklin and Stand By Me by Ben E King.

Skaro Says - Logo Polish finds the news of the rumours of another season with Colin Baker to be rather unfortunate, as this issue would have been published some time after the news of his sacking! He finds the novelisation of The Romans to be quite entertaining and imaginative - an unusual and interesting way of doing a novelisation. Much as he loves the story, Andrew Curnow thinks that to call the second segment of the Trial easy to follow is wide of the mark! He agrees with the review of The Romans - an interesting idea, but it just doesn't come off. Then again, he has never liked the TV story either. Andrew remembers his Dad telling him that Colin Baker had been sacked, and was disappointed that he didn't carry on. Si Hart never liked The Romans book either. Overall for him, this was not a bad issue, with a good tribute to Ian Marter, and a lovely Davison picture on the cover.
