Ten years ago - November 1995
BBC Video

The revamped Five Doctors paired up with the two-part Kings Demons in a cardboard box. It included postcards too.

 

Did I buy them?

Yes - from the Virgin Megastore in Coventry. It was £17.99. You don't forget these things in a mere decade.

 

New Adventures

It's a Ben Aaronovitch novel. The Doctor is drinking tea in what looks like an Escher painting.

 

Did I buy it?

I have never set eyes upon that book before.


Missing Adventures

Yay - Peter Purves. I mean, "Vicki is abducted to a flying island. Steven is accused of murder and challenged to a duel." So OG says anyway.

 

Did I buy it?

No and I don't need to because the Amazon review gives the end away.


Art Book

A whole book about the art of Doctor Who cover artist Andrew Skilleter.

 

Did I buy it?

No - generally I did end up with the large hardback books published in the 90s but this one slipped by the cracks.


DWM

It has a Cyberman on the cover (looking startled) and includes an archive on The War Games. That must've run to fifty pages at least.

 

Did I buy it?

Yes - it rings no bells though.
