Five years ago - March 2001
Big Finish

Paul McGann earns another Doctor Who badge when he works with the legendary Michael Sheard.

 

Did I buy it?

Yes - that is an awesome cover. The story is weird but oddly effective.


VHS

Doctor Who does rock and roll, and gets away with being marginally cooler than a Blue Peter feature on disco dancing.

 

Did I buy it?

Yes - in a BOGOF in Coventry's Forbidden Planet.


EDA

Anji settles down to life in the Tardis in Jacqueline Rayner's tale of mad robots and regal doubles.

 

Did I buy it?

Yes - though it is probably not very bright to buy a book simply because you fancy the author.


PDA

The almost entirely unknown Mick Lewis takes us back to the cosy years - Pertwee, UNIT and lovely little Jo.

 

Did I buy it?

No - I've heard of it though. Which is something.


DWM

For some utterly unknown reason, the Virginia Wetherell interview doesn't get the cover feature.

 

Did I buy it?

Yes - how could anyone not buy a magazine with two showbiz legends on the cover? And Sylvester McCoy.
