Cliffhangers: Third Doctor 2
Last time we looked at some cliffhangers from the Third Doctor era and noted how limited they had become in comparison to the Sixties episodes. Placing the Doctor and/or his companions in danger was the default cliffhanger. What we didn’t … Continue reading

The Dr Who Annual 1975
The Doctor Who annuals continued their slow decline in terms of the artwork, but the quality of the stories actually improved with the 1975 annual. They are not quite so derivative of the television episodes, but more importantly the end … Continue reading

Cliffhangers: Third Doctor 1
I have watched every Doctor Who episode in order a couple of times, and on both occasions the big slog to get through has been the Third Doctor era. Somehow it always seems like an awful lot of the same … Continue reading

Dimensions in Time
Pickled in time like gherkins in a jar. It wasn’t an auspicious start, possibly the worst opening line of anything, well… ever. The choice of villain was also a slight disappointment for the 30th Anniversary. The Rani always was a … Continue reading
The Five Doctors
Ext. The Death Zone. IAN and BARBARA CHESTERTON are walking across a barren, rocky landscape. BARBARA looks frightened. BARBARA: Ian, what was that strange pyramid? IAN: Presumably some kind of travel device. We seem to have been transported somewhere. BARBARA: … Continue reading

The Three Doctors
There have been a handful of multi-Doctor stories over the years, so it is difficult to imagine how amazing it must have seemed the first time it happened. More importantly, although it might seem like the most natural idea in … Continue reading

The Dr Who Annual 1974
The Doctor Who annuals continue their slow decline with this offering, featuring endless boring lucky dips from the children’s encyclopedia. There are six short stories and two comic strips. The annuals always did feel out of step with the television … Continue reading

Planet of the Daleks
The one thing that always gets mentioned about this story is that it is virtually a remake of The Daleks, with some bits of other 60s Dalek stories thrown into the mix. It’s hard to argue with that. We have … Continue reading

The Time Warrior
Oh, I could murder a cup of tea. …and at that moment the British viewing public fell in love with Sarah Jane Smith. It was no thanks to Robert Holmes though. Just look what Elisabeth Sladen has to contend with … Continue reading

The Dr Who Annual 1973
Observant readers will notice that the last annual we looked at was dated 1971 and this one is 1973, but we haven’t actually missed one out. Doctor Who was not deemed a successful enough series to warrant an annual for … Continue reading
