Take a trip back through 60 years of Doctor Who in Radio Times covers

As we gear up to celebrate 60 years of trips in the TARDIS, we look back on 60 years of Doctor Who-themed Radio Times covers and the icons who featured.

Included in those are the very first actors to play the Time Lord, who paved the way for so many more to come, iconic companions over the years (old and new), actors who have played the Master and, of course, perhaps the most iconic villains to ever grace the small screen - the Daleks.
