Ten years ago - December 1995
Video

Two days after Christmas we got another treat as this much underrated gem was released.

 

Did I buy it?

Yes - cheaply, many years later. I rather like it actually. Its true value lies somewhere between the £16.99 they charged and the £4.99 I paid.


New Adventures

Terrance Dicks adapts his made-for-video film into a proper Doctor Who story.

 

Did I buy it?

I bought the video thanks to the massive coverage it got in Dreamwatch magazine. I haven't bought the novel yet.


Missing Adventures

It's a Sontaran double bill this month as someone who has Peter Davison's face crudely stuck on battles the nasty, brutish and short warmongers.

 

Did I buy it?

You know I didn't. Or you should've guessed it anyway.


Factual Books

An even worse painting of Peter Davison appears on the cover of Howe and Walker's Fifth Doctor Handbook. Naturally, it was the fourth volume of their seven book series and covered the Davison era as it existed in 1995.

 

Did I buy it?

I don't remember buying it but I did end up with a full set of Handbooks. Then I sold them and bought the new Telos version.


DWM

The beginning of one of DWM's greatest long-running features - the JNT memoirs.

 

Did I buy it?

Yes - those memoirs were a damned good read.
