It’s a celebration of anniversaries this week as Doctor Who Magazine, the esteemed publication that has been by the Three Who Rule and many, many others for decades, celebrated its 40th anniversary this past week. And the tenth anniversary season of Classic Doctor Who finally saw its Blu-ray release here in North America, in a slimmer case than in the UK. Oh, the controversy! But the real celebration is welcoming Joy Piedmont from Reality Bomb for the Series 11 commentary of “The Witchfinders”! |

The world of Doctor Who was thrown aback this week with news that beloved television writer and novelist Terrance Dicks passed away at the age of 84. Dicks’ contribution to the show and indeed many of our childhoods can’t be overestimated, from his time working with Barry Letts during the 1970s to his prodigious run on the Target novelizations, “The Five Doctors”, the New Adventures…the mind reels. We also continue our Series 11 commentary series with a look at “The Ghost Monument”, featuring Deeper Cuts host and Head Over Feels Tony Stark consulting expert Shannon Dohar! |
