March 22nd, 2025 - 3:25pmI’ve got the war master anti genesis coming up in my listen list, how vital is it to refresh myself on genesis of the Daleks. I’ve seen it twice before in my life, possibly 3 times can’t remember but is a refresher necessary before listening or not

March 20th, 2025 - 12:21pmHello, hope this is the correct place to ask in the forum, but I really wanted to know who or where the colourful artwork came from that seems pretty common now.
The art I am referring to I think was used in the Britbox days, but is now used as the thumbnails for both the Classic Doctor Who [1963-1996] and the Modern Doctor Who [2005-2022] on the Whoniverse, does anyone know who did these or where they came from?
The Fishmonger
March 23rd, 2025 - 6:10pmHi DPHill. If they are the ones i think you mean (photo realistic illustration in front a different colour background for each Doctor) the illustrator is Jeremy Enecio. They were commissioned by the BBC in 2015

March 19th, 2025 - 11:32pmThe names of this years B&M sets have been leaked. Not sure if its been posted on here or if I should.

Dalekoddjob
March 20th, 2025 - 12:51pmLeak? Or posted with permission as an official ‘leak’ by B&M? Certainly Anthony is claiming he was given permission.
Radburn
March 21st, 2025 - 3:39amI wonder what the Dalek Sets # 20 & # 21 will be? I’m still surprised we still haven’t seen a Stengos Dalek yet?
Dalekoddjob
March 21st, 2025 - 11:27amWe are hardly going to see a Stengos Dalek – imagine the cost to retool it all! Other sources are saying a Remembrance set and another new series set.
Whippetshit
March 21st, 2025 - 1:40pmHave TARDISes been released already? I saw a post on Twitter that claims they saw a First Doctor and Fifteenth Doctor TARDIS in their local B&M.

March 21st, 2025 - 1:54pmThey are the master replica ones, been out for a while
Whippetshit
March 21st, 2025 - 2:09pmAh, OK – thanks, booboo
Radburn
March 21st, 2025 - 7:57pmStick a Stengos head in a see-thru Dalek (Which they already have) & instant Stengos Dalek!
MJS
March 18th, 2025 - 6:59amSix Radio Times cover variants on the way for “New Who at 20”, featuring 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 & 15
The Fishmonger
March 18th, 2025 - 7:19pmAdvert at the back says there is another digital magazine on the way, similar to the recent Tom Baker one.
Doctor Stu
March 18th, 2025 - 9:19pm15 doesn’t really count though surely as he’s a brand new trendy down with the cool kids reboot for a tinier part of the fandom. Surely new who 20 years is 9 to 13
Golden Pineapple
March 19th, 2025 - 11:03amIt’s 20 years of the show being on television after a big gap and spotlighting every actor who has played the part since; 15 absolutely deserves to be included, no question.
Jamie
March 19th, 2025 - 11:31pmIts the 15th Doctor cover that I will be looking for!
Radburn
March 20th, 2025 - 12:31amHad to go hunting for these. I had 3 from Waitrose & snagged the other 3 from Tesco – Nice set! The inside articles are pretty interesting as well.
Tom Williams
March 14th, 2025 - 3:18pmBig question too any collector i recent brought more target books 1970-1990 first edition ones off course but what is everyones fav cover mine i admit but not got yet is off course the wheel in space and ambassadors off death
Bellal
March 14th, 2025 - 4:20pmFor me it has to be Horror of Fang Rock. Just iconic
Bookcollector
March 14th, 2025 - 5:11pmThe original fang rock is a definite favourite. I always loved the original invasion cover too.
Amypondfan
March 14th, 2025 - 5:13pmThe wheel cover is great too and I love the survival cover along with the dragonfire cover
Tom Williams
March 14th, 2025 - 5:36pmAgree @Amypondfan most off Sylvester McCoy ones are brilliant which i brought more recent and now have the whole 7th doctor side 😀
Amypondfan
March 14th, 2025 - 8:46pmYes the McCoy covers are among the best
Rory
March 18th, 2025 - 10:03amI love the McCoy covers, but the ones that had the biggest impact on me as a kid were The Mythmakers and Fury From The Deep.
By curious coincidence, while I was reading Fury we were holidaying by the Cromarty Firth, which is where oil rigs go to die, so that cover has a very vivid connection for me.
Bookcollector
March 18th, 2025 - 12:00pmOk favourite covers (original only)
Hartnell – the war machines
Troughton – the invasion
Pertwee – the cave monsters
T. Baker – horror of fang rock
Davison – king’s demons ( book isn’t great but the cover art is lovely)
C. Baker – attack of the cybermen (colin Howard)
McCoy – survival
And modern target… (and yes, some are the only ones!)
Troughton – evil of the daleks
T. Baker – warriors gate
Davison – resurrection of the daleks
C Baker – revelation of the daleks
Eccleston – dalek
Tennant – planet of the ood
Smith – day of the doctor
Capaldi – zygon invasion
Whittaker – kerblam
Tennant – wild blue yonder
Gatwa – 73 yards
Bookcollector
March 18th, 2025 - 12:01pmOops missed out McGann’s new version of the movie which has a great cover

Gavrok
March 14th, 2025 - 7:31amAny updates on the Go Figure book?.
booboo
March 14th, 2025 - 8:54amThought it had gone to print and they were working on the additions to be honest
Gavrok
March 14th, 2025 - 7:30amAny updates on the Go Figure book?
The Ergon
March 10th, 2025 - 9:34pmIs there any news on any other character exclusives for this year other than the B and M figures?
Kevin H
March 11th, 2025 - 10:07amI think you should ask that question every week Ergon. I would appreciate it
Doctorwhofan08
March 11th, 2025 - 10:09amYes
booboo
March 11th, 2025 - 10:12amyou were saying?
The ergon
March 11th, 2025 - 10:42amWow. Such a coincidence. I was rather hoping for a new companion though if im honest. I dont collect the sonics. Quite a surprise.
TimelordTim
March 11th, 2025 - 11:33amGreat timing Ergon, will be looking for the next release next time you ask the question lol.
Dalekoddjob
March 10th, 2025 - 7:35amSo sad Time Machine museum in Bromyard is closing and the exhibits being auctioned off.
The Unlicensed Physician
March 10th, 2025 - 10:51amDid they have many actual props from the classic series? Most seem to be reproductions of some sort, either ex-exhibition or fan-built, possibly used on post-series things like 30 Years in the Tardis.
Dalekoddjob
March 10th, 2025 - 1:06pmSome yes, including the L1 (?) robot. I can’t remember exactly what now.
Doctor Mysterio
March 9th, 2025 - 7:52pmSad to hear of the passing today of Dorium actor Simon Fisher-Becker. A convention regular and lovely gentleman to boot. An unforgettable character. “Doctor Who? Doctor Who?”
pupbenny
March 10th, 2025 - 12:08pmOh wow, that is sad. 🙁
The Unlicensed Physician
March 7th, 2025 - 2:58amDoes anyone have an idea of the print runs for the Virgin Books New Adventures titles please? I saw an apparent Peter Darvill-Evans quote of 25k each, but I’m assuming that earlier titles had reprints and later ones didn’t – I can see Lungbarrow and Dying Days being extra popular, but why the delayed printing of So Vile A Sin would be extra popular and an instant sell out at 25k I don’t know… (I
seem to remember that the other titles from that time hung about.) I think PD-E had long since departed by this point though, so perhaps he was speaking about earlier books?

March 4th, 2025 - 10:32amBooboo, when I Access Collector Lists then Go on Robert Harrops Merchandise I can’t Access any of the figurines like I had done in the Past.
Is it a Problem with my Ipad?
booboo
March 4th, 2025 - 10:59amyou cant see anything?
The DR.
March 4th, 2025 - 11:12amHello, Theres like a Holding Page that shows 4 Thumbnails of some of the latest Harrops releases, but I can’t click on anything to see all the list of Figurines.
I Think it’s happened to Alot of your Collector Lists.
I just tried Getting on the Titan Vinyl lists and that’s the same. Just a holding Page with nothing to Click on to see the Full line of Vinyls.
It was like it a a couple of weeks ago when I tried Going on the Harrop lists. I just Thought you were doing some kind of Maintenance/Update, but it’s still the Same Today.
booboo
March 4th, 2025 - 11:15amyes is see what you mean, i go straight to the pages so didn’t notice will have to ask luke to see whats happened i dont do that stuff
The DR.
March 4th, 2025 - 12:15pmThanks, Didn’t Know if it was a Problem at my End or Yours.
Mrs Croot
March 5th, 2025 - 10:47amIf you’re really needing to look at it then the wayback machine works to get the direct link to the page, because the page is still there there’s just no access to it from the site, used it to get the titan checklist a few days ago
The DR.
March 6th, 2025 - 6:40pmIt’s Ok Mrs Croot, Yesterday I noticed the Technical Issues had been sorted out.
I also Noticed that Last Year (2024) Harrops Managed to get out Six Figurines for the Year. The Previous 4:Years (And Most Other Years) they usually only produced Five a Year.
So Well Done Harrops, Keep it up.
Cully’s Pal
March 2nd, 2025 - 11:41amWell done Harrops – the Peter Davison figures sold out. Very fast too. Nice to know quality merchandise can garner a faithful audience.
Missyrules
March 3rd, 2025 - 3:50pmLooks nothing him
Cully’s Pal
March 3rd, 2025 - 4:34pmwell you won’t be disappointed then will you !
Missyrules
March 4th, 2025 - 2:00pmYeah, why waste my money
Amypondfan
March 4th, 2025 - 2:01pmWow cully really doesn’t like people disagreeing with him
Cully’s Pal
March 4th, 2025 - 2:08pmI dont have the right to repond then ?
Amypondfan
March 4th, 2025 - 9:28pmJust as others have the right to disagree with you…
Master of M
March 6th, 2025 - 4:27pmLooked more like Kenneth Williams – Definitely not to Harrops usual quality
DDD
March 7th, 2025 - 6:40amI was thinking more a young Ken Barlow
Tom Williams
February 28th, 2025 - 3:19pmSuper happy too be finally collecting the target books for the first time esp currently going through the 3rd doctors ones more first but does anyone know any that wasn’t published or if not the hardest ones now days too buy i do admit i only so far gone for the two different versions especially and not just all the 70s or 80s ones alone
Bookcollector
February 28th, 2025 - 3:41pmAll classic era stories were published with the exception of…
The pirate planet
City if death
Shada
Resurrection of the daleks
Revelation of the daleks
Since then the BBC have released target versions of four of them.
The pirate planet by James Goss
City of death by James Goss
Resurrection of the daleks by Eric saward
Revelation of the daleks by Eric saward
Shada is available only as a full novel by Gareth Roberts.
The same five books were released as fan made books by TVS a New Zealand fan club in the early 2000’s. These are hard to get hold of but are good reads.
The pirate planet by David Bishop
City of death by David Lawrence
Shada by Paul scoones
Resurrection of the daleks by paul scoones
Revelation of the daleks by jon preddle
Amypondfan
February 26th, 2025 - 7:15pmNot who related but fans of buffy will be shocked by the death at 39 of Michelle Trachtenberg. R. I. P.
The Ergon
February 27th, 2025 - 9:35amShe was great in Buffy. Im more shocked by the sudden death of legend Gene Hackman. A movie legend.
Amypondfan
February 27th, 2025 - 12:38pmYes, saw that this morning. It looks like Michelle took her own life sadly.
The Ergon
February 20th, 2025 - 4:34pmThe next Harrops piece following on from the fifth doctor is a Primord from Inferno. Looks amazing.
Radburn
February 20th, 2025 - 1:22pmAnything known about the new ‘Weeping Angels Christmas Curse’ Book?
booboo
February 20th, 2025 - 1:25pmits an independent book isn’t it ?
Bookcollector
February 20th, 2025 - 5:08pmIndependently published, unofficial and the author seems to writing a lot of who books. I only know one person who has read one of the books and she said she would not be buying anymore. If you want to try them feel free but I think it’s a case of buyer beware!
Radburn
February 20th, 2025 - 5:48pmJust found it on Amazon. It’s only 76 pages long, so not even a novella. Think I can give this one a miss!
Pete X
February 19th, 2025 - 5:26pmSomething that is, at least partially, related to Doctor Who that may be of interest…
Read on the Guardian’s website about software that replicates the analogue sounds of the Radiophonic Workshop.
Mark Ayres has been involved and is part of preseving the legacy of the workshop.
The software is on sale today at a reduced rate for the first month.

Rory
February 19th, 2025 - 4:18pmThey’re usually approximately two years after the limited release, so I’d expect standard edition of s20 this autumn with 15 and 25 coming in 2026
