Abducted by the Daleks. I can’t believe I’m about to attempt a serious review of this. We’ll start with a summary. Spoilers ahead. On some deserted road in the middle of a forest four eastern European women are driving through the night, through a stretch of woods that one of the women claims is theContinue reading “On Abducted by the Daleks”

On "The Lieutenant and the Doctor"
I should have known better. Oh, I should have known better. Jean Airey’s The Doctor and the Enterprise. Many years ago I tracked down a copy of this story, years later I found it online. A few years ago, I learned that Airey had written a sequel to her Trek/Who crossover story, entitled “The LieutenantContinue reading “On "The Lieutenant and the Doctor"”
On Doctor Who and the Sci-Fi Channel
It’s taken long enough, but the new Doctor Who is finally coming to American television–the Sci-Fi Channel beginning in March. The DVD release, originally planned for a month hence on Valentine’s Day, has now been moved to July, about the same time as the season finale, “The Parting of the Ways” would be broadcast onContinue reading “On Doctor Who and the Sci-Fi Channel”
On Doctor Who and King Arthur
While I have Doctor Who on the brain, I’d like to recommend this post from Mags Halliday on the Arthurian elements seen in “The Christmas Invasion,” the Doctor Who Christmas special (which I’ve not seen, so I can’t really comment). The post has generated a lively thread on Outpost Gallifrey’s forums that explores some ofContinue reading “On Doctor Who and King Arthur”
On a Fandom Meme–Doctor Who
Now, Scav‘s up to bat–ten fandom-related questions on Doctor Who. The first character I first fell in love withHarry Sullivan. Jac Rayner in Wolfsbane covers all the reasons why Harry was so cool in a one-paragraph passage near the beginning of the book, so I won’t recount them here. The character I never expected toContinue reading “On a Fandom Meme–Doctor Who”
On Dalek Naughtiness
Had I known about this, I’d probably have wanted to see it: Abducted by the Daleks, a pornographic film in which women are abducted by the Daleks for use as sex slaves. The Sun, a London tabloid, described the film thusly: Dr Who’s foes capture three naked “disco babes” in the 18-rated DVD. They chaseContinue reading “On Dalek Naughtiness”
On the Cybermen
Today the BBC released pictures of the Cybermen as they will appear in the upcoming season of Doctor Who. Let’s take a look, shall we? Looks pretty spiffy, doesn’t it? 🙂
On Doctor Who DVDs
Doctor Who. Season one. DVD. Sure, I’ll have to import it from Canada, but who cares? It’s new Doctor Who, on DVD, in NTSC region 1 format. 🙂 Woo-hoo!
On the Doctor's Greatest Foes
There’s a rumor that in the upcoming season of Doctor Who there may be a story pitting the Doctor’s two greatest foes against one another–the Daleks and the Cybermen. Sure, it’s a fanwanky concept. That’s the appeal. So, if I were writing a Dalek vs. Cybermen story, this is what I’d do…. Set it duringContinue reading “On the Doctor's Greatest Foes”
On Doing a Tech Round-Up
Two things. Reader Kathryn Meadmore asked me to pass along the following information for UK-based Whovians: UKTV Gold are showing all 13 episodes from the new series of Dr Who in one week. It premiers on Sunday 23rd October at 7pm, and viewers can expect to see the first three parts back-to-back, followed by double-billsContinue reading “On Doing a Tech Round-Up”
