The run of stories was, sadly, curtailed due to a change of management at Radio Times. The new management slowly downgraded the Sci-Fi Page until it was eventually dropped later that year!
Originally the strip was planned to last for 60-parts, the fifth story was to be called Deceptions but in the event the two part Coda was substituted and ended it's 42 week run.
The Radio Times Sci-Fi Page:
Most of the Articles below are from the Radio Times Sci-Fi page. This was a feature of the magazine from immediately after the McGann TV Movie, the week of the 1st to the 7th of June 1996, until the Radio Times issue dated 22-28 March 1997.
You will find some other articles and listings interspersed between the Sci-Fi Page articles, all of the details below are presented in chronological order.
You can also view the full Radio Times Sci-Fi page that contains Part 1 of "Dreadnought". This page is presented here in it's entirety due to the main article on the page, which details fan reaction to the TVM and introduces the comic strip. [view]
The rest of the Doctor Who related Radio Times Sci-Fi Page articles can be viewed on the 1990's Radio Times page.
