Issue 2 of the recently revived TARDIS magazine is ready and available to order. I understand it might even be more impressively laid out than the first issue. This time it’s a Seventh Doctor special, and there are contributions from Jessica Martin and Stephen Wyatt, as well as (of course) Sylvester McCoy, Bonnie Langford and…
I reviewed Revolution of the Daleks on Cultbox. I broadly enjoyed it even if it felt more like a big end of series wrap-up than a special seasonal tale. Loose ends tidied up (a bit), colour-by-numbers Dalek story and a reduction in numbers on board the TARDIS (immediately changed by John Bishop!) I may have…
One thing I didn’t mention in my Celestial Toyroom Annual 2021 news piece, is I wrote the review for The Ice Warriors. It’s fairly critical, explores the predecessors of some of the ideas and suggests how there’s a much better story inside. You can read it for free if you grab the annual from the…
The DWAS kicks off 2021 with the free Celestial Toyroom Annual 2021 and it’s all things Second Doctor with a great cover, piece from Anneke Wills and every Patrick Troughton story covered. You can grab it now from the link, and if you look around you can still get the previous few for free a…
You may just have received Celestial Toyroom 512/3 (but only if you’re a DWAS member) and it’s a great read. We’ve a seasonal message from Colin Baker then more information on Doctor Who annuals then you ever thought possible to know. Full details on the DWAS website here. +++ Message End +++
Revolution of the Daleks will be the first Doctor Who to be available in 4K HDR. Details here: Doctor Who goes 4K HDR for Revolution of the Daleks. *** Message Ends ***
Here’s a short (very) freebie for Christmas from The Divergent Wordsmiths, a story for the Peter Cushing version of the First Doctor, aka Dr Who. It’s a charming vignette titled A Christmas Cutaway. It’s buy Iain McLaughlin, and brought a smile to me at least! Merry Christmas! *** Message Ends ***
I just discovered there’s a video giving a good idea of the quality of the Unofficial Dr Who Annual 1989. It even show’s my story (Lessons Learned?) at around 5:16! On a more serious note this is a very well produced book and it’s all for charity, so do (please!) take a look. *** Message…
The Divergent Wordsmiths have released Unbound Imaginings Volume 2. It’s free and available from their site. Well-known and beloved among the peoples of the Earth, there are many a myriad Time and space that have yet to be explored in Doctor Who. Beyond the horizons of even our own Doctors’ vivid conceptions, experience eight bold, new adventures in…
If you come here often, you’ll have spotted I’ve been a bit quiet recently. I’ve also not had much to say about Revolution of the Daleks, despite the trailer. I’m also not that moved by fan speculation / returning villains / Daleks. I’ve a strong sense of seen it all before or just not that…
Apologies for the trivial nature of this post, but it was bugging me. I like the new poster for Revolution of the Daleks, but something was different. Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor looks different (and in my mind more imposing). I figured it out — hair brushed back behind the ears! New head shape and a…
So, on Monday we learned Jack Harkness will be back (again) in Doctor Who Revolution of the Daleks. I find myself unsurprised and I think it’s rather neat in some ways. I’ll explain why below…
