Radio Times is celebrating Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary with an interactive special edition and a choice of 12 collectable covers - one for each of the Doctors who’ve appeared over the last 50 years.

The special issue is the 50th Radio Times Doctor Who cover since the iconic Time Traveller first graced the front page in 1964.

To access the interactive content readers simply download the free Blippar app to their smartphone or tablet; then open the app and hold over the cover of this week's Radio Times to reveal an exclusive video message from the current Doctor, Matt Smith, and the opportunity for readers to create and star in their own Radio Times Doctor Who cover to share on social media.

There’s also further Doctor Who content to be unlocked inside where readers see the Blippar logo including:

* A comprehensive episode by episode guide for each Doctor

* Animated and video Doctor Who content

* Over 100 pictures from the Radio Times Doctor Who archive

* Gallery of all Radio Times Doctor Who covers

* Exclusive 3D content

Inside the issue there’s 26 pages of Doctor Who features; including interviews with Matt Smith, David Tennant and John Hurt; authored pieces by showrunner Stephen Moffat and BBC Director General Tony Hall; a guide to all the Doctors, including archive interviews with the actors who played them; a gallery of all 50 Radio Times Doctor Who covers; celebrity fans on what makes the iconic programme so special to them; and a chance to win Matt Smith’s bow-tie.

RadioTimes.com will also have additional Doctor Who content throughout the week.

Radio Times Doctor Who interactive special issue, with 12 collectable covers, is on sale from Tuesday 19th November.
