Here’s a thing, Philip Bates (of the Doctor Who Companion) has a new book coming out soon. Published by Candy Jar it’s called 100 Objects of Dr Who. The retro cover is fabulous, and I will be after a review copy;-) There are a lot more details in James Baldock’s piece on the DWC: COMING…
Imagine a total American remake of Doctor Who
Over on The Doctor Who Companion, Rick Lundeen has given his thoughts on what a total remake of Doctor Who might look like were it to be remade. His thoughts are: THE AMERICAN VERSION OF DOCTOR WHO. I didn’t think Rick went far enough with his ideas as you’ll see in the comments. It’s worth…

The DWC writers collective view on Ascension of the Cybermen
If you get to the end of this stark (and largely negative) assessment of Ascension of the Cybermen you’ll see my comment about trying to stay positive. Maybe it will all be wonderful, but a lot of plates are in play for The Timeless Children. Until tonight, here are our views on last week: HERE’S…

The DWC views on Praxeus
As ever, a group of us on The Doctor Who Companion pooled thoughts on Praxeus. I had thought I would be the sole positive voice; as it happens quite a few of us had good things to say. Of course others didn’t! Check it out: HERE’S WHAT THE DOCTOR WHO COMPANION THOUGHT OF PRAXEUS. {{{…
The DWC’s thoughts on Fugitive of the Judoon
As we are wont to do, writers on The Doctor Who Companion pooled their thoughts on the latest episode of Doctor Who, in this case Fugitive of the Judoon. As ever a wide range of views and I’m towards the more positive. Lots of really good points made and worth a look, as is the…

Just to close off Orphan 55, here is the collected ‘wisdom’ of The Doctor Who Companion – HERE’S WHAT THE DOCTOR WHO COMPANION THOUGHT OF ORPHAN 55. As ever very mixed. My own thoughts were too negative to include! +++ Message Ends +++
DWC writers consider Spyfall 2
As ever a group of us has pooled views on the latest Doctor Who story. This time Spyfall 2 is scrutinised and I have to say there’s a far broader range of opinions than I had anticipated. We all felt the companions were marginalised, but also had very mixed responses to Gallifrey, Ada and Noor…
