I put together some thoughts on the highly enjoyable Third Doctor Adventures Volume 03 for CultBox. It’s two great stories from Nick Briggs and Andrew Smith with Katy Manning back as Jo Grant. Tim Treloar is in good form as the Third Doctor and it’s well worth a listen. The review is: Doctor Who: The Third Doctor Adventures…
To coincide with the (much delayed and repackaged) release of White Witch of Devil’s End Telos Publishing is releasing a novelisation: Olive Hawthorne: The Daemons of Devil’s End.
Following the events of the third Bernice Summerfield set, Benny is stranded with the David Warner unbound Third Doctor in the unbound universe. It’s a new beginning with singing nuns, the Doctor now made Ruler of the Universe and the Sam Kisgart Master apparently disposed of (thought note the cover!). It all bodes well, apart from,…

I may have mentioned it before, but there are some scripts for odd episodes of Doctor Who available from the BBC Writers’ Room. There aren’t many, but do include a few titles including Face the Raven (which was originally to be called Trap Street).
A good spot from CultBox is a radio interview between Russell T Davies and Frank Skinner as part of the promotion for James Goss’s Doctor Who poetry book. They cover some details, and give a link to the interview itself: Doctor Who: Russell T Davies on the re-writing of the Time War. === Message Ends ===
There’s been a burst of social media traffic on the reveal of the cover for the recently announced Missy Chronicles. It’s a bit better than my attempt! *** Message Ends ***
I happen to be part of the BBC Worldwide panel and after each episode of Doctor Who I (like 1000s of others) get canvassed for my views on the show. Recently the BBC sent out an email explaining what they do with some of the information they gather, and this including a word-cloud based on comments…
I was reading a few pieces recently about how Russell T Davies had changed the fate of Penelope Wilton’s ex-Prime Minister Harriet Jones. It turns out (eg as reported on io9) that the new James Goss collection of Doctor Who Poetry (Now We are 600) needed a poem to set out her fate, and allow her to…
In what may have seemed inevitable with his appearance in the TV episode Twice Upon a Time, Big Finish has today announced a new series of First Doctor Adventures with David Bradley playing the First Doctor. Not only do these feature David Bradley, but the rest of the TARDIS cast from An Adventure in Space and Time are appearing:…
A group of writers from The Divergent Universe forum have collected together to form The Divergent Wordsmiths. It will become a repository for Doctor Who fan fiction (and maybe more), in part inspired by entrants to the Paul Spragg writing opportunity. Here’s the smallest of tasters: As swiftly and silently as a shadow, the Doctor’s space-and-time ship, the TARDIS,…
So, it’s the end of another run of Fourth Doctor Adventures and we have the listening pleasure of Marc Platt’s The Thief Who Stole Time, the second part of the story he began in The Skin of the Sleek, If you’ve heard the previous instalment, you’ve more than likely a subscription to all nine episodes of this sixth…
