Who remembers the excitement of 1994, when a new Doctor Who drama without Doctor Who was announced, featuring the Sontarans? And then - GASP! - came the news that this story would then be novelised as

Watching Voice From the Past. Frieda Knorr's performance as Le Grand still makes me howl. She's brilliantly awful.

Just because he has no joy in his life, doesn't mean the rest of us should suffer with him. What an absolute arsehole.

I love old Habitat catalogues & managed to get hold of all the 70s ones before they got v pricey & collectable. Flicking through them, I wondered: "What are the true stories of the lives of the people in these photos?"

So I decided to write those stories.

You'll find them in the alt text.

Novel discussions with a trio of Trapsters. This sounds an enticing read with the author bringing additional elements in keeping with the televised story.👏🏿
The telly tale gets a fair assessment in the chatter and evaluation too.👍🏿

A bit of nonsense from a few years back, and pretty fitting with The War Between the Land and the Sea almost here, not to mention the new feature-length cut of The Sea Devils. If you love #DoctorWho and absurdly niche 1970s comic classifieds, this one’s for you. Enjoy!
