I know about the 'shopping list' of elements which RTD gave the writers to use in stories, but can anybody provide a list of the shopping list elements for certain episodes please?

That's if you have them at hand or can provide a link to somewhere that lists them.

The series 1 shopping list is in Doctor Who Magazine Special Edition No. 11.

The Series 2 shopping list is in Doctor Who Magazine Special Edition No. 14

After that they stopped doing them.

Stopped the mags or stopped the lists?

Oh thanks for that emby2.
I didn't expect that anybody would have a full list for the series. I just half expected them for a handful of episodes.

Problem is that I don't buy that magazine.
I don't suppose you know if those shopping lists have been posted online or not do you?

No, I don't, sorry. You could try looking on ebay or a vintage magazine shop (I used to live near one) but i suspect you don't want them that badly.

To clarify, they aren't lists as such, more like descriptions, a bit like synopsis' but detailing the ingrediants of each episode. In the series 3 special edition, RTD claims that the lists are a 'myth' that 'grew out of interviews with DWM'. "fandom loves a phrase" he says "especially as a weapon". He got a letter from a man that said 'your shopping lists are apalling'. lol
