News And Views - Patrick Troughton passed away on March 28th at an American convention, at the age of 67. The new season will consist of two four parters, with the working titles Strange Matter and Paradise Towers, and two three parters - the first three parter for 23 years. The letters page is now called You On Who! One letter writer has two letters published (barring a mistake by the magazine). Reviews - Off The Shelf reviews The Rescue ("superb, amazing and enthralling") and looks at all of the late Ian Marter's Target novelisations. Boxpops - Top of the pop charts in June 87 were I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston and Star Trekkin' by The Firm. Skaro Says - Craig Rollins has no recollection of hearing of Patrick Troughton's death, and thinks it is quite a while later that he heard that he'd died. Jonno can't remember hearing about it either - his interest in DWM began to diminish from now on, as this was the time that he started getting DWB regularly. He loved Star Trekkin' - this was at the start of what would be a very long summer break between leaving school and starting Polytechnic. Andrew Curnow vaguely remembers the news of Troughton's death, though he is not sure that it was from DWM. For him, The Rescue is an excellent book, with a beautiful cover. He thought Star Trekkin' was cool! Ant Cox liked The Rescue too - he thought Ian Marter was a superb writer. Nathan Cooke remembers seeing about Troughton's death on the news, and always associates it with Sylvester McCoy getting the part, as does Andrew. |
