I love this series and Doom Coalition a great deal.

YouTube video by The Sense Sphere - The Doctor Who Podcast DOCTOR WHO CLIFFHANGER: WILL HADCROFT: THE BEST AND WORST! HARTNELL: TOM BAKER: PERTWEE: MAGGOTS

Thoroughly enjoyed my guest spot on Sense Sphere with Brendan Noble discussing classic cliff-hanger episode endings to #DoctorWho. I was invited to reminisce about three of the best and one dud.

Well, at least Amazon got something right today.

Doctor Who: The Butler Did It.

The Doctor lands at a spaceship repair port on a dusty planet to tune up The TARDIS engines. But someone has poisoned an old friend of his, and now everyone at the station is a suspect.

Always best to rest them (and your mind) when it's not working.

I wonder if they used a Synclavier II to make this. That was the main synth Ken used for The Tripods.

Many thanks to Creatives On the Couch for inviting me on their chat show for half an hour to discuss my writing and other projects, from winning a #DoctorWho record in 1980 to publishing Doctor Who #audiobooks in my fifties! 😊

Many thanks to Creatives On the Couch
for inviting me to interview about my various projects, not least my #DoctorWho audiobooks. Francesca was great as interviewer and the crew were professional. I look forward to the end result. Hope I didn't talk too fast, as we crammed a lot in!! 😊

Doctor Who: The Girl Who Never Was.

"Dot dot dot, dash dash dash, dot dot dot.
Someone's listening. Somewhere."
A ghost ship.
A girl with no memory, adrift in time.
An old enemy.
This could be Charlotte Pollard's finest hour — or her last.

I loved this a great deal when it first came out.

I slip #uneasy
Into your world
A new place
Doctor
Disease
Outcome
Noise and chaos
Not my own
Family to hold
Words to say
Peace
To maintain
Just to hold
You up
So you don't
Crumble
Under the tonnage
Of your own
Impending demise
Oblivious
Of me
At all

The TARDIS takes the Doctor and Rose to a destination in deep space - Justicia, a prison camp stretched over six planets, where Earth colonies deal with their criminals. While Rose finds herself locked up in a teenage borstal, the Doctor is trapped in a scientific labour camp. Each is determined to find the other, and soon both Rose and the Doctor are risking life and limb to escape in their distinctive styles. But their dangerous plans are complicated by some old enemies. Are these creatures fellow prisoners as they claim, or staging a takeover for their own sinister purposes? DOCTOR WHO Featuring the Doctor and Rose as played by Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper in the hit series from BBC Television.:

Subconscious priorities!

I'm delighted to introduce A Home for Spark the Dragon, my new picture book for young readers, co-written by Jess Webb, with illustrations by Sarah Massini published in association with homelessness charity @Shelter. Available to buy at bit.ly/SparkBookshop

Lovely words from my friend @willhadcroft.bsky.social, on getting his copy of Málverk on CD.

The album (with 12-page booklet!) is available on CD from elasticstage.com/thelightdrea...

This will appeal to those of us of a particular vintage.

Young people - you don't know what you missed.

Singer and harpist Hattie Webb, one of "the sublime Webb Sisters" who sang with Leonard Cohen in his final years has released her own album with Leonard's long-time collaborator Roscoe Beck. Can't wait to immerse myself in it.

Been enjoying the latest from Alex Storer's The Light Dreams project. This album, Malverk, puts me in mind of the synthy atmospheres and ambiences of Vangelis, whom I listened to in my youth.

Begun writing Anne Droyd V (even though IV hasn't been published yet). I'm just writing the scenes that keep recurring in my mind to start with. The scene I've just finished is tense. A good sign. 😊

Ooh, those two gentlemen are always good!

I love the original painted cover. I remember seeing the book in my school bookshop and snapping it up immediately. I was spellbound by the televised version too. The masters become the slaves. Brilliant.

Loving the Big Finish #DoctorWho set "The Cosmos and Mrs Clarke". "The Story Demon" is one of the most original takes on the Daleks I've ever heard, and Paul Magrs' "The Key to Many Worlds" is a right laugh. Colin Baker and Katy Manning swap bodies! 😆

My review of the #Blackpool #DoctorWho Exhibition book by John Collier, Richard Leaver and Alex Storer.

Love this book. The #DoctorWho Exhibition in #Blackpool was as important to me in my youth as was the programme itself. Many thanks to Alex Storer for including me in it.
