Radio Free Skaro #1025 – Malaise Forever
http://traffic.libsyn.com/freyburg/rfs1025.mp3
In a week replete with San Diego Comic Con, a semi-invigorated BBC Shop, and a SDCC-adjacent UNIT Black Archive pop-up, you would think there would be more Doctor Who news to cogitate about this week, but you would in fact be wrong! However a new multi-media extravaganza featuring the Fugitive Doctor (hooray!) named “Circuit Breaker” (meh?) has been announced, to follow up the thundering success of Time Lord Victorious and Doom’s Day. Are the Three Who Rule excited at this chance to read, listen and click in 2026? We’ll see! Plus tales of Big Finish, BFI screenings, a new Terrance Dicks biography, and an intervention as Steven’s latest descent into madness focused on spiral staircases!

ProjektMyra@mrsjmccrimmon In these trying times: "What we all need is a sense of unity", to quote the #DoctorWho episode Carnival of Monsters, the book of which #TerranceDicks was kind enough to sign for me when he came to #TimeLash convention. The Doctor provides that, all the way to 13, 14 and 15.

Metebelis Two PodcastThinking of Jon Pertwee as #DoctorWho today.
"#Bessie, the Doctor’s little yellow roadster, shot along the narrow country lane with the Doctor at the wheel. He cut a colourful figure in his elegant burgundy smoking jacket, ruffled shirt and flowing cloak." — #TerranceDicks, The Time Monster
Peter NolanI've messed about a bit more with Target Books covers, this time speculating about what a Meglos reissue would look like in the modern style
More complicated than it looks, as there's no picture of Meglos looking forward and/or holding the Dodecahedron like that.
