The Tenth Doctor as played by David Tennant
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.

I thought I’d dig back through the Starburst archive and point our an interview JR Southall did with new showrunner Chris Chibnall.
