The return of the Paternoster Square Gang!
25 months ago
Looking forward to Saturday 4th of May (or Star Wars day as it is also know) we wet our lips at the thought of the return of the Paternoster Square gang of Madame Vastra, Strax and Jenny. This and a Mark Gatiss script featuring characters played by Diana Rigg and her real-life daughter makes The Crimson Horror. How will the Eleventh Doctor and Clara deal with mysteriously murders in Victorian Yorkshire?
To pass the time while we wait I present a couple of thoughts…

If you happen to be anywhere near East London on Sunday May 5th 2013 you might want to pop into the Stratford Picture House. Sci-Fi London are holding a 50th anniversary screening of the movie version of Doctor Who and the Daleks preceded by two interesting talks.
The first includes Paul Cornell and Terrance Dicks and discusses the continuation of the Doctor Who story in print; the second focusses on comic books and includes Andrew Cartmel. If you want more details check out the Sci-Fi London website here!
Sadly I can’t make this - if you go, please let me know how it was!

Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS reviewed
05 months ago
Part 2 of Series 7 cracked on with Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS and I have already looked forward to it and worried about the Time War. No clues of any substance have emerged from the BBC episode page so I have merely to continue to remain positive that Steve Thompson will have created something special.
Until then time to wait and mind the spoilers…

The History of the Time War
26 months ago
One of the many images available in the gallery for Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS is the picture shown on the left - that of an ancient book entitled The History of the Time War. Now i don’t remotely think we will learn anything of the Time War from this episode and I am sure this is just a teaser, however it did make me think about the Time War (or Last Great Time War) itself and that I hadn’t, until now, blogged about it…

Looking ahead to Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS
06 months ago
The latest Series 7B story for the Eleventh Doctor and Clara may turn out to be crazy and fascinating at the same time. Entitled Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS my steampunk detector already notices the Jules Vernes-esque title and gets excited. What other thoughts do I have ahead of Saturday? Read on and find out…

Roots of Evil reviewed
06 months ago
So with April we hit the Philip Reeve book Roots of Evil which is a Fourth Doctor story in the Puffin books anniversary series. Featuring Leela as the companion and by an author whose works I have some familiarity with I was cautiously optimistic about this - I was also expecting some steampunk!
What was it about and how was it? Find out below - if you like the picture, have a read of Sarah McIntyre’s blog - she wrote about the book and also drew the picture I have borrowed.
