The exploits of Captain "Butch" Maitland and co.

  Sections
 


In 1965 the BBC commissioned a series from writer Peter R Newman. Impressed by his Doctor Who scripts, the head of serials was keen to feature the further adventures of Captain Maitland and his crew. Sadly, all recordings of the series were destroyed shortly after broadcast (sometimes minutes after the final credits had rolled) and all that remains are the spinoff novels by Geoff Tepid. thevervoid.com is proud to announce an exclusive serialisation of Tepid's novels which the Times Literary Supplement described as "broader and deeper than the television series".
