Ten years ago - October 1995
BBC Video

A double dose of Seventh Doctor fun from opposite ends of his spectrum.

 

Did I buy them?

Yes - Paradise Towers was a day-of-release job because I missed the last part on UKGold, Survival came a bit later when it was dirty cheap.

 

New Adventures

The first of two Mel stories. Another great cover - one which summed up how people felt about Melanie B in those days.

 

Did I buy it?

It's one of those books I'd like to read but I fear the moment has long since passed.


Missing Adventures

All Mel, All the Time. She's got bad hair, the Doctor has a bad case of the Jaystons and the first seeds of Millennium Fever were being sown.

 

Did I buy it?

No. I didn't buy many books back then.


DWM

DWM really didn't sell itself well in those days. I mean look at it - they could've used a generic Colin Baker photograph and advertised a "Story 6Y" archive.

 

Did I buy it?

Yes - I mistook the background for the Hyperion III. And I always buy it.
