Coming soon from the BBC....

You missed one, Steve:

The Sensorites

Not exactly, I mentioned it at the end of my post!

[Pip Madeley]

Well I confirmed it then

[Dirk Gently]

Well done Zen.

[Pip Madeley]

Creature From The Pit cover...



Eye of Horus says we'll also be getting Pyramids of Mars (read by Gabriel Woolf) and The Auton Invasion (read by Geoffery Beevers).

Interesting to see that they've got Maureen O'Brien for the Romans interview, although I'd heard they had William Russell reading this one!

[Pip Madeley]

Well:

Covers are subject to change.

[Lord President]

I've always loved the juggling on the cover of Black Orchid! Who juggles like that?

[Wayne]

Auton Invasion!

I've got quite into some these Target audiobooks! They're very nostalgic, & much more fun than Big Finish.

[Si Hunt]

Heathen!

Si.

[Pip Madeley]

Better quality:



No interview now?

[Antony Cox]

Perhaps Bill Hartnell had become a bit excited over Jackie Hill's costume, and they had to fabricate some excuse to put a sticker over it?

Obviously he's calmed down a bit now...

[Pip Madeley]

Hang on to your wage packets:

The Time Warrior (Target reading)

The Green Death (Target reading)

Doctor Who Adventure Kit (???)

Doctor Who: Original Stories 2 (???)

The Krotons (narrated)

The Sarah Jane Adventures Volume 3

The Sarah Jane Adventures Volume 4

Torchwood (Radio 4 Drama)

Apparently Barry Letts is now going to read The Daemons audio book, rather than Stephen Thorne. I think this is a good move after hearing his autobiography the other week.
He's also been treated for cancer recently, but seems to be recovering OK, according to some reprts from a recent convention he attended.

Billy Russell reads The Sensorites:



Bit of artistic licence with the TARDIS, eh?

[Pip Madeley]

Behold:

[Wayne]

I like the Target audios best. It's easier than reading the books!

[Pip Madeley]

Doctor Who and the Pyramids of Mars

[Perry Vale]

Doctor Who Adventure Kit (???)

It's a terrible name, isn't it! It's simply a 3 story collection of New Series novels, Martha In The Mirror, Snowglobe 7 and The Many Hands.

Somone at BBC Audiobooks actually asked me to come up with a better title than that, but my suggestion couldn't be used due to legal thingummys (they weren't allowed to use 'Martha' in the title, apparently! ).

[Jonno]

Nice cover for Pyramids. Surprised to see The Daemons getting the intial reprint cover - I thought they were always using the original cover artwork?

[Rob McCow]

Perhaps it's down to personal preference? I think the reprint cover of the Daemons looks better than the original, maybe the BBC agree.

[SiHart]

They used the reprint cover of The Doomsday Weapon too, so it's not a clear cut rule.

[Jonno]

Ah yes, I forgot about that! When I was really getting my collection underway in the early-mid 80s I ended up with the reprint covers in most cases and really wanted the Achilleos/Brookes originals that I remember borrowing from the library in the mid 70s. There is the odd exception though, and I do prefer the Cummins Weapon cover, though oddly enough I do have the Achilleos one for that!

[SiHart]

I think the Cummins cover is far better than the Archilleos one, much the same as the Skilleter Daemons is probably better than the Archilleos one. I'm not a huge fan of some of the early Archilleos work... sacrillege I know! Still it's nice to see the lovely artwork being extensively reused now. I do miss proper Doctor Who art. It's all photoshop magic now, and it's not really the same for me.

Is it just me, or does Sarah Jane on the cover of Pyramids look like Derek Deadman in a wig?
