🎄 The Doctor Who Collectors Podcast – 2025 Christmas Wrap-Up 🎄

As the year draws to a close, it’s time to look back on an incredible 2025 for The Doctor Who Collectors Podcast. In this special Christmas wrap-up episode, I reflect on just how good a year it’s been—for the podcast, for the hobby, and for Doctor Who collecting as a whole.

From memorable interviews and fascinating deep dives to surprising discoveries, outrageous offers, and the joy of sharing this passion with fellow fans, 2025 has truly been one for the record books. I talk about the highlights, the moments that meant the most, and why this year reminded me exactly why collecting Doctor Who is so special.

Merry Christmas, and thank you for being part of The Doctor Who Collectors Podcast. 🌟

Episode 92: 1988 Classic Hardcovers: The Final Chapter with Tony Whitt

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 11:23:01 -0500

When Virgin publishing purchased WH Allen, the hardcover books were losing money. In June, 1988 it was decided to stop publishing cloth bound Dr. Who books. The final novel, "The Smugglers," was limited to 1000 copies. That makes it extremely hard to find. The other titles were random. 153 hardcovers were published from 1974-1988 including reprints. Owning a whole set is a lofty goal. I am missing 4 titles as of now. Loch Ness Monster 1st edition, The Three Doctors 2nd edition, Dinosaur Invasion 2nd edition, and The Time Warrior. I doubt I will find them. Joining me is Tony Whitt, host and producer of The Target Book Club Podcast. Keep Collecting!

Episode 90: Classic Hardcovers sold in the USA prior to 1984!

Mon, 16 Jun 2025 15:16:13 -0500

After finding a 1981 Catalog from the "Time Lord, Inc" of Brooklyn, NY owned by Ed Novak, I now have a new list of classic hardcover (Wingate and WH Allen) books sold in the USA in 1981. This is 4 years before my company, Bundles from Britain, got the exclusive distribution deal from Lyle Stuart. This opens the door to more possible non-library copies that might be in the New York area and beyond! This is breaking news! The hardcover guide will be updated soon but here are the books that were sold in 1981 that were not in the Bundles catalog:
Web of Fear (possible 2nd printing)
Pyramids of Mars
Time Warrior
Tomb of the Cybermen
Dinosaur Invasion (possible 2nd printing)
Underworld
The Android Invasion
The Face of Evil
The Invisible Enemy
Planet of the Spiders (2nd print - before we had them!)
The Sontaran Experiment
The Seeds of Doom (possible 2nd print)
The Dalek Invasion of Earth (probably 2nd print)
The Masque of Mandragora
The Carnival of Monsters (possible 2nd print)
The Image of the Fendahl
The Loch Ness Monster (possible 3rd printing)
The Tenth Planet (possible 2nd print)
The Deadly Assassin
The Robots of Death
The Space War (possible 2nd print)
The Three Doctors (possible 2nd print)
The Ice Warriors (possible 2nd print)
So I will keep an eye out for these titles on Ebay and other sites! Good Luck!

We continue our coverage of the Classic Dr. Who hardcovers by WH Allen with the year 1987. The company is being sold to Virgin books and sales are not going well.

On today's show we explore the WH Allen hardcovers published and sold in 1985! 13 books with one reprinted book. This would be the last time a hardcover in this line would be reprinted and we can't figure out why? Why were only 1st edition "Two Doctors" target books sent to the US and not available in the UK? The hardcover run will end in the middle of 1988 so how are sales? US distribution happened for most of these titles affecting their value. Tony Whitt, the host of the Doctor Who Target Book Club Podcast, offers insight into the actual novel of the story. Join us on this continuing adventure!

Episode 59: A conversation with Dr. Who Legend Peter Purves

Thu, 12 Jan 2023 14:21:29 -0600

It is rare to speak with a veteran Dr. Who companion. Mr. Peter Purves appeared in 46 episodes of Dr. Who with William Hartnell. He started as Morton Dill in part 3 of The Chase, then boarded the Tardis in part 6. He continued his adventures until a new producer came in and told him The Savages would his last. In this interview we learn about his role, his working relationship with William Hartnell, his working with Daleks, and a collectible prop that he threw away. I believe this to be my best interview and my highest ranking guest to date! I also have a most outrageous offer that is 10 times the going price of a new item! Welcome to the new year and the 60th anniversary of Dr. Who! The continuing legend of Morton Dill!

Wyndham publishers put out a total of 4 hardcover books in 1974 and 1975 using the Allan Wingate imprint. They increased that number to 10 in 1976. These hardcover releases mirror the Target paperback imprints exactly. The growing popularity of Dr. Who in 1976 is clearly evident.
