From the earliest days of the iconic sci-fi through to its cancellation in 1989 and revival in 2005, Radio Times has documented everything.

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.

Speaking in last month's issue of Doctor Who Magazine, Tennant said: "The Doctor's been three different people in the meantime, so I’m not necessarily the same version of the Doctor that I was before.
