The Tenth Doctor as played by David Tennant
Apart from a reference to the Tenth Doctor story Waters of Mars we now have Time Lord Victorious as a teaser, due to be revealed 12 noon, UK time April 27 2020. More than that it’s being pushed by both the BBC and Big Finish. If that weren’t all, there’s a new book on Amazon…
It’s that curious weekend between Christmas and New Year. We have had no Christmas special for the second year running, but in eight days time we will have had two episodes of series 12! Until then I thought I’d cover one of my favourite of the Christmas specials – The Christmas Invasion.
Obverse Books has announced the Black Archive release of Sound of Drums / Last of the Time Lords. Writer James Mortimer takes a deep look at this pair of episodes in the 38th (!) release in the range.
It’s October and it’s (to a lot of modern viewers myself included) the Doctor. David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor. Surely the Radio Times will have almost wall-to-wall five-star reviews of his time in the role? The truth may surprise, and let’s remember he did (by modern standards) appear in a lot of stories. They can’t all…
I’m a big fan of Doctor Who art work, so great news of new portraits for all (known, excluding the meta) incarnations of the Doctor by Jeremy Enecio. You can get the poster version from several places (including The DWC) or you get them individually…
I was more downbeat than normal with my recent post Doctor Who has peaked – so what? I do think I time will come when the show has a break from TV (and not just the odd year we already get), but I also do think we will make the sixtieth anniversary in 2023. Yes,…
I got drawn (slightly) into one of those pointless on-line arguments where one persons shouts and the other tries to be rational. Waste of time. A certain kind of argument has been used by fans for years: the show is failing, it’s all because of XXX, we should sack XXX and do XXXX. My position…
According to twitter, issue 490 of the Celestial Toyroom from the DWAS is now shipping. Details of the magazine on the DWAS website. I’ve no connection to this issue, but just wanted an excuse to publish a copy of the fabulous Rose montage used as the cover! <– Message Ends –>
Here’s something I missed in 2011 when it was released, The Unsilent Library. It’s a set of critical essays on the RTD era, and includes one by Una McCormack as well as a Robert Shearman introduction. It’s a Science Fiction Foundation title and was originally priced at £10 but is now just £1 + postage! *** Message…
Steven Moffat’s contribution to the first set of new series Doctor Who Target novelisations is his anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor. This is far more than an adaptation of the script, it is a telling of events from many angles and plays with the form of the novel. If you’re a hard-core Moffat fan you will…
Over on The Doctor Who Companion, a few of us were so taken with the new Target novels, we put together a wish-list of stories we’d like to see get the Target treatment (and I’m very happy to write one or more of them!). You can read our ideas here: WHICH DOCTOR WHO SERIALS SHOULD BE ADAPTED…
This month (March 2018) sees the seventeenth release from the Black Archive, and it’s the double episode story The Impossible Planet / The Satan Pit. Written by Simon Bucher-Jones, it’s currently on sale at a mere £4.99 at 182 pages. If you feel like checking this out, it’s available here: The Impossible Planet / The Satan Pit.…
