News And Views - Lynda Bellingham and Michael Jayston will guest star throughout the whole 14 part new series as the Inquisitor and the Valeyard respectively. Due to the umbrella theme, the whole series will have the overall title of The Trial of a Time Lord. The third story has the working title of The Ultimate Foe, with its first four episodes scripted by Pip and Jane Baker. With Robert Holmes seriously ill, it is unclear who will be writing the final two episodes. Two letter writers stand up for the casting of Bonnie Langford. Reviews - Off The Shelf reviews The Celestial Toymaker - "the story is nothing short of excellent and as a recounting of the narrative, this book is also good." Other Regulars - A new three part comic strip, Time Bomb, begins. Boxpops - Top of the pop charts in July 86 were the continuing Wham! and Madonna's Papa Don't Preach. Skaro Says - Andrew Curnow remembers the cover, and thinks that DWM could have used a few more Target covers for their front covers. He never liked the book of The Celestial Toymaker, and is surprised to see that it got a good review (Jonno noted though that overall the review wasn't too complimentary, but he found it hard to find useful summing up phrases in the review). Andrew doesn't remember learning that Robert Holmes was ill, only that he had subsequently died. Craig Rollins on the other hand remembers Holmes being ill but not that he'd died until some time afterwards. He also agreed that the cover was memorable, and showed that artwork covers worked well. Si Hart loves the cover, with the original Web of Fear book cover being his favourite piece of DW art of all time, so to see it printed large was wonderful. |
