You mean the UK's fastest-growing magazine, Doctor Who Adventures?

Doctor Who Adventures is my downfall. I can now resist buying all the other kiddy magazines, which used to lure me in with their Girls Aloud and McFly features, but DWA still has its grip on me and makes me look like a paedophile to the newsagent.
I blame the bright colours and the fucking amazing free gifts. I mean - Squirty Doctor Glasses!!! (Although some cunt stole my pair.)
That Battles in Time one does look shit though.

Oh yes, it's that time of year again.
So far I have only seen Enchanted Fairy Decorative Plates Magazine, though it may have had a more pithy title. Either way i shall be buying two copies of each, which shall give me one of each plate to eat tiny cakes off and use at tea parties, and one plate to treasure forever and perhaps later sell for millions at Christies.
It really is amazing how these publishers keep coming up with brilliant ideas and don't have to put any old over priced shit out.

Is it a scale model or first issue 99p, all issues after £40,000?

There was one earlier with some James Bond version of top trumps - cards to collect, etc, and an ultra-violet pen to reveal secret scores.

Both, I think.

There's a "Shrek Quest" one. "Special free amulets to help in *your* quest. Watch out for extra special colour-changing amulets". You get an amulet storage case with issue 2. Wayhey. I think it's a sticker-book tie-in, they were plugging the book as well.

There's a build your own steam locomotive one as well. Oh, I love that one. The relatively young, relatively good-looking man making the train looks so uncomfortable. His face reads "well isn't that a jolly nice steam engine?" but his eyes say "I hope none of my old classmates recognise me." The fact that you could probably buy a build-your-own-model-train kit for a fraction of the price never fails to escape the publishers, does it?

There's a Dora the Explorer one which helps children of the age that still haven't quite grasped the English language to learn Spanish words and phrases too. However, it does come with a Dora doll which you can dress up in outfits which correspond to the adventures she has, I presume.

The train one is 125 issues at £4.99 each.
That's £625.

I'm sure you could buy a better model locomotive for that and not have to wait months and months to get all the pieces and have to read all their tedious shit facts in the rubbish magazine.

I just saw the advert again and it says the tracks and the engine are extra!
So you've spent your £625 and now you have to purchase the main two parts which make it move.
The cheek.

I want the Dora The Explorer beanie AND all the different outfits. Seriously, student loans were made for people to able to dress dolls of Mexican adventurers in surfer gear.

God I hate Dora The Explorer. I can't wait until she goes off the rails and it gets dragged through the tabloids.

I get the point of Dora the Explorer in America because they have a huge Spanish population. I understand that learning languages is important, but I don't think Dora has a point in Britain.

Nurse - From today News of the World - "A panic call from Dora the explorer's friend Boots sparked her stand-off with cops - because he feared she would SHOOT DEAD the Fiesta Trio. Dora's latest problems come after a series of shocking incidents involving her which have been caught on video - SWALLOWED bottles of ‘hillbilly heroin'— BINGED on a mindbending cocktail of more precription drugs before defying the police,(and flashing her boobies) PLEADED with Swiper to SELL her the backpack and maps for a multi-million payoff BASHED her own head against the wall in a fit of blind rage." ** Added points to anyone who knows what story this was seamlessly adapted from - This is a tricky one Rory. Is it from the new series of The Sarah Jane Adventures?

I fucking hate Dora. Who the hell thought a voice so squeaky and shrill would be suitable for toddler ears? However, this Dora parody from Saturday Night Live literally made me cry with laughter:
