    Good morning Planet Skaro!

    Over the next few days in the run up to Christmas we'll be sharing a number of special treats for Christmas with you. We hope you enjoy them all!

    One of the things I used to looks forward to most at Christmas when I was small was receiving the Doctor Who Annual. The first Christmas I got given one was Christmas 1980, and along with the Talking K9 I got given it was my favourite present.



    Adventures with the Doctor. Romana and K9


    So come back with me to 1980, to the 1981 Doctor Who Annual as I read you the story, Alien Mind Games....

    Oh my! Looking forward to this later! But surely that's the Doctor, K9 and Joanna Lumley in the picture?

    Thanks for that Si - a most enjoyable story. I love your K9 impression by the way - John Leeson has some SERIOUS competition

    I only had one Doctor Who Annual - the 1978 edition, and I devoured it! Although some of the artwork was extremely dodgy, and Sarah Jane looked more like Leela!

    I'm so sorry the treats have been a bit delayed by illness this week.

    The second set of treats are from the PS Audio Massanicassa....

    First of all there's the outtakes! A 5 minute trip through the fluffs and mistakes: http://www.planetskaro.org.uk/Massan...saouttakes.mp3

    As those who've paid attention know, Massanicassa had a long and difficult production history and lead to major changes being made to the storyline as we went along, to get round certain difficulties. Some of the changes included a different ending and a different cliffhanger to episode 3...

    The original cliffhanger to episode 3 was this- http://www.planetskaro.org.uk/Massanicassa/scene31.mp3


    Hope you enjoy them

    You should be able to just click the link and open a new page with them on, or else click and save. They work OK here...

    And here is ANOTHER Christmas Treat -

    A Christmas Video Treat - It's an eight minute adventure for everybody's favourite metal pooch, K-9!

    Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

    This is my favourite treat of all. I did the narration and Steve did the video to accompany it

    I got the book back sometime in late 1980 for being good at school (and the other three in the set soon followed!). It's been much loved over the years!

    In one last little treat before Christmas, Brendan Jones explains to us all why he loves the Big Finish audio, Nekromanteia so much...
