FoCCBBC Studios Is Regenerating Its Doctor Who Lineup In Time For SDCC #SDCC #BlackArchive #Doctor #Whovian
Mrs McCrimmonReading the wonderful #BlackArchive on #TheMassacre and I agree 100 PERCENT that Dodo is an essential companion. As pointed out, she is the blueprint for all future companions, in a way all previous companions (fantastic as they are) were not.

MrDaleSmithOK, of course you know that I have a new #DoctorWho #BlackArchive available from @obversebooks on #StevenMoffat’s Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead. But what if you wanted to know why it was written, how it was pitched, and what changes the editors wanted me to make? Don’t worry #WritingCommunity - I have you covered. https://dalesmithonline.com/send-out-stories/black-archive-72-silence-library #Writing
The Black Archive #72: Silence in the Library
Just days after being announced as the next showrunner of Doctor Who, Steven Moffat’s final story of the first Russell T Davies era is broadcast. In a darkened empty library, the story introduces us to River Song, a mysterious adventurer who might just be telling us exactly what is going to happen to the Doctor over the next six series. But more than that, she might be telling us what Moffat himself thinks about men, women, writing, fear, and the nature of stories.

62. Kinda
‘Wheel turns, civilisations arise. Wheel turns, civilisations fall.’ With new input from writer Christopher Bailey, this archive examines how Kinda (1982) emerged from his background as a counter-cultural arts activist, a theatre and television writer, and his formative encounter with Buddhism. Searching the Dark Places of the Inside, Kinda is a richly layered allegory, inextricably linked, through the history and evolution of Buddhism’s teachings, with nineteenth-century European colonialism, fin de siècle literature, heritage cinema of the 1980s, Gauguin’s ‘noble savage’, acid trips and cutting-edge neuroscience.
Obverse BooksAvailable now for pre-order: KINDA (Black Archive 62) by @cathoderaytube. With new input from Chris Bailey and Frank's eye for detail (as seen in his Warriors Gate Archive), this is one not to miss.
Also, I think, our longest Archive at 205 pages!

37. Kerblam!
‘The systems aren’t the problem. How people use and exploit systems, that’s the problem.’Kerblam! (2018) throws the Doctor and her team into the future of distribution and employment. The episode offers an exciting sci-fi mystery with uncannily creepy robots, intrusive artificial intelligence, and an explosive reveal of the antagonist. However, many viewers felt shock waves rock their own worldview in the apparent political messages of the story. Examining politics, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and the closest real-world analogues of the Kerblam company raises questions about the Doctor's own politics, the series’ use of AI and robots across the years, and whether current technology is more futuristic than that shown in the episode. This Black Archive demonstrates that despite many changes instituted in the 2018 season, the depiction of the Doctor’s politics, AI, and robotics is heavily influenced by the past. It also shows how the present of AI and robotics is already much stranger than Kerblam! depicts. In the end, the volume proposes that the heart of the episode can be found in the answer to this question: who killed Kira?
