Fantastic City of Death artwork from Marshall Tankersley
I’ve not posted any artwork for a while, so this I found on the Divergent Universe from TardyBox TardyBox (aka Marshall Tankersley) is long overdue. It’s a brilliant focus on the Fourth Doctor story City of Death. I wish I had a tenth that much talent — enjoy! (== Message Ends ==)
DWAS reveals cover and details for TARDIS magazine
The Doctor Who Appreciation Society has released details on contents and cover for the return of TARDIS Magazine. Completely by chance this has Sarah Jane Smith on the cover (with the Fourth Doctor). It’s available to by now and looks like it will be something to collect — 60 pages, A4 and colour!
Celestial Toyroom 506 out now
The DWAS members’ periodical Celestial Toyroom is on its way and very much focuses on Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor.

Black Archive to release Robots of Death May 2020

Fiona Moore is the writer of this particular title and it’s not the first such guide she’s written (see press release below)….

Enjoy! *** Message Ends ***

The DWC looks at Longleat and the 20th
If you want a thorough article on the twentieth anniversary of Doctor Who in 1983, including a major focus on Longleat, have a read of REVIEWED: DOCTOR WHO’S 20TH ANNIVERSARY – AT LAST, THE 1983 SHOW. Leon Hewitt is to be congratulated on a piece full of information. I learned a few things and I…
The DWC looks at the Fourth Doctor’s Leela years
The Doctor Who Companion is racing through the twentieth century series of Doctor Who and Leela (Louise Jameson) has been and gone. Of all the Doctors, Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor is the most open to analysis in chunks. He had so many years, each companion (ignoring the last who were waiting to join the Fifth…
The DWC looks at the Fourth Doctor’s Sarah Jane Years
Tom Baker’s time as the Fourth Doctor is too much for mere mortals like me to take in all at once. Fortunately The Doctor Who Companion is slicing it into series, and I thought I’d track the Tom Baker years by chunk (ie Sarah Jane Smith / Leela / Romana(s) / The new gang [Nyssa…
