Did you spot an old copy of the Beano in the trailer for the latest series of Doctor Who? We did!

The Invasion of Bash Street

In the first issue of Beano Max – a monthly comic which started in 2007 – Bash Street was overrun by Daleks! Luckily, David Tennant saved the day!

The Doctor has fine taste in comics!

Then there was that time when Toots met the Doctor!

Doctor Who joined us in our 2017 Christmas Special!
