July 31st, 2024 - 6:25pmIs the new big finish app supposed to be a bit broken, is it common knowledge while everyone waits for it to be sorted out or do I need to get in contact with someone to tell them all my stuff is missing. I appreciate it’s brand new
Bellal
July 31st, 2024 - 7:53pmIt’s not working properly for me. Not all my purchases are available and some of the ones that are, aren’t working. E.g. I can’t download the chimes of midnight! of all things. Already missing the old one

July 31st, 2024 - 10:03pmI can’t even get into mine, says the password I’ve been using for the last 9 years is wrong. When I request a new password, I don’t get an email.

July 31st, 2024 - 3:24pmI see Sixteen12 now has a page dedicated to models that never went on to be released, including pictures of a very nice classic TARDIS console.

July 27th, 2024 - 5:51pmRIP Ysanne Churchman who voiced alpha centauri in 1972, 1974 and 2017. Gone at 99.
Bookcollector
July 27th, 2024 - 6:01pmShe also played the queen spider in planet of the spiders if I remember correctly. Another one gone.
Auton
July 27th, 2024 - 6:08pmReally sad news however 99 years old is an amazing age to reach
Moodbeam
July 27th, 2024 - 10:48pmSo pleased we had that final scene in 2017 though, was so good to hear her back.

July 28th, 2024 - 1:23pm50 years ago, I was lucky enough to win a Sun newspaper prize in a ‘Design a Dr Who monster’ competition. The prize was a visit to the BBC studios in Shepherds Bush to watch Dr Who being made.
Was there when the scenes of the Doctor and The Great One for Episode Six of Planet of the Spiders were being recorded.
Ysanne Churchman was in the studio, doing spider voices.
I still have the old autograph book that I took with me on that day in which she signed: “Best wishes from Ysanne Churchman (Alpha Centauri’s voice)”.
Autograph’s also collected from Jon Pertwee, Maureen Morris (“Doctor Who’s final adversary – The Great One”), Kismet Delgado (“Queen Spider”), Gareth Hunt, and Ian Scoones (“special effects”). And Elisabeth Sladen, who gave me her personal BBC script for the day (Wednesday 1 May 1974), which I still have.
Sadly, after 50 years, I don’t remember much about that studio visit and have only vague memories of meeting Ysanne. But will never forget that she was part of making it such a special day.
76 Totter’s Lane
July 29th, 2024 - 8:33pmThat’s a lovely story, simon.ss1. How old were you at the time?
simon.ss1
July 30th, 2024 - 1:36pmThanks, 76 Totter’s Lane.
I was 15.
Still have all the stuff that I kept about the competition, including the original Sun newspaper (March 23, 1974) in which the win was announced, my original monster drawing sent to the Sun which they returned, and letters confirming the win and arrangements. And still have the model that the Sun made of my monster which was part of the prize. It’s about 11 inches high. (Monster had lots of tentacles and the model-maker used toy rubber worms for them!) Plus a photo of Jon Pertwee, in full costume, taken during a break in filming, with me and the three other winners.
It was an unforgettable day.
Except I have now forgotten most of it!
But having been a Dr Who fan since the very beginning, it was the very best thing ever that could happen to 15-year-old me. And now at age 66, even though I don’t recall much of it, still remember it as one of the stand-out days of my life.
anon
August 1st, 2024 - 4:29pmThis brings back memories: When I was much younger I saw the filming of the Jon Pertwee story with the Sea Devils. As a youngster then it was absolutely magical to see Doctor Who actually being filmed. Happy days indeed!

July 27th, 2024 - 1:34pm(Hello, I can’t comment on the SDCC thread) Does anyone know the actual price of the Kawaii 15 pin set at the Convention. I know it’s going for sky high prices on Ebay with everyone trying to make a quick buck but I wondered what the actual price was. Like if FP eventually get these in stock what will the RRP be?
booboo
July 27th, 2024 - 1:47pmi cant see any prices on anything, nothing was in the press release
just seen this though not seen it mentioned https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GTXqxb1aMAAcKkC?format=jpg&name=large
Snowman
July 27th, 2024 - 1:52pmThanks, The 3 inch Titans look Great, even the 15th Doctor. (Fully Clothes one) The Pin set looks Gorgeous. I hope FP gets some in stock so I can get them for a decent price.
Snowman
July 27th, 2024 - 2:15pmJust noticed the Pins in the Promo Photos are the opposite way around than in the Actual product on the shop floor.
pupbenny
July 26th, 2024 - 6:19pmAm I having a false memory here, or do I have a vague recollection that there was a prototype of a Master figure from End of Time with a blue skull-revealed head?
Mrs Croot
July 26th, 2024 - 7:17pmCaptain jimi pie has made 2 customs of that figure so that might be what you’re remembering, would be a great figure though.
Vladnag
July 26th, 2024 - 9:01pmThere’s a tenth Doctor Figure prototype with blue skull and ribs on one side, seems to be what you’re describing!
Vladnag
July 25th, 2024 - 5:43pmDoes anyone have the Toys R Us exclusive Genesis Dalek from the 4th Doctor set at hand and can tell me the serial number on the bottom?
Bought a collection of gun-metal Daleks and I’m trying to work out which is which!
booboo
July 25th, 2024 - 6:39pmif i have the right one its
03723 575 0 358
it has the bronze coloured gun with Blue/green segments on the eye stalk
Vladnag
July 25th, 2024 - 7:18pmThanks for the speedy response Booboo! Got that one with a snapped eye stalk, thankfully the stalk is fairly common so a replacement shouldn’t be too hard
Snowman
July 25th, 2024 - 3:36pmQuick Question, has any TARDIS Mags been released since the Eldrad lives and 7th Heaven copys were printed. (Must be a couple of years now) Really enjoyed those Copy’s and wondered if I had missed any since. How often are they Printed?
Snowman
July 26th, 2024 - 1:13pmAny help, I will be grateful. The Two Copies I have are Volume 17.1 and 17.2. after extensive searching on Ebay Yesterday I manage to track Down (and buy) Volume 17.3 and 17.4.
I don’t know if there’s anymore out there though, the Guy I asked didnt know.
booboo
July 26th, 2024 - 1:22pm5 issues, you could try contacting them to see if they
have any http://www.dwasonline.co.uk/tardis_returns
Snowman
July 26th, 2024 - 1:57pmThanks Booboo much appreciated. I can never find much info on these Fan Made Magazines. I think I only managed to get the Two I have is because I’m sure you Featured them on this site a Couple of years ago.
Snowman
July 26th, 2024 - 2:05pmThanks again Booboo, I never knew about that page. Seems like I’m only missing issue Five, I managed to pick up 3 and 4 Yesterday. I’ll contact them fot more info.

July 25th, 2024 - 1:18pmHi everyone, does anyone know what sets b and m are releasing this year? I haven’t seen any leaks yet and not sure what to expect
Also not specifically doctor who merchandise related but does anyone know where I can find a pair of those beige converse David Tennant wore as the 14th doctor?
booboo
July 25th, 2024 - 1:23pmthere are images around of Emperor Davros and Dalek Set 18, there is also a friends and foe set
Mrs Croot
July 25th, 2024 - 7:01pmConverse are expensive but it’s best to just buy them from converse themselves. I got the black ones to go with my tux and they cost around £60 from memory, but might have been cheaper due to it being my first purchase from them.

July 25th, 2024 - 8:18amSo The Daleks In Colour is getting its own soundtrack release in 23rd August
Mr. Greel
July 23rd, 2024 - 5:47pmJust ordered Yahtzee Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Tardis dice game off Amazon US with shipping to UK. (Released 16/05/24 according to Amazon so it’s missed the anniversary!).
Mr Greel
July 23rd, 2024 - 5:56pmTardis seems to be identical to Yahtzee’s 50th game with St John Ambulance sign but different dice. Missed out on 50th Edition so pleased to get this one.

July 23rd, 2024 - 2:52pmHas anyone seen the Fifteenth Doctor Sonic Screwdriver’s on ebay?
Listed as ‘Dr Who 15th Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver Deluxe Edition SDCC/Online’ with a description saying ‘Exclusive to San Diego Comic Con and an Online UK Exclusive is the 15th Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver limited deluxe edition.’
I was wondering if a) this is real, and b) who will be selling the UK one (Character, Forbidden Planet)?
booboo
July 23rd, 2024 - 3:42pmyes its real, the image is from a BBC website that was put live by mistake before SDCC (which starts tomorrow) I think there will be an online exclusive and general release one like the 14th’s
Troughton’s Trousers
July 23rd, 2024 - 7:44pmThanks booboo.
Hopefully Character will have it online soon, and it will be a better ordering experience for everyone than the 14th’s sonic was.

July 22nd, 2024 - 7:11pmHappened to find a Seveth doctor German dvd while on holiday for a few coins. Its called seventh doctor volume 2, five discs, includes all stories in season 25, and was made 2015. Am getting the new bluray collection set anyway but am wondering, does it include the vhs extended version of silver nemesis and/or is it restored a little from the normal dvds?
Bellal
July 22nd, 2024 - 9:02pmAsking about the German silver nemesis release, to avoided confusion. Is it different?
David McCallum
July 23rd, 2024 - 5:21pmI don’t have this myself so I can’t say whether there has been any further restoration from the UK DVD releases, but I do know that the VHS version of Silver Nemesis was included in this set.
Gordon
July 23rd, 2024 - 6:08pmIt wasn’t included on the separate german season releases however It was included on the complete 7th doctor German release. The version that was included in the German release however used a mix of the dvd restoration and vhs footage due to the extended master tapes being lost at that time. However a couple of months after the release the master tapes were discovered as it had been mislabeled so the version on the collection set will be using the rediscovered master tapes.
Bellal
July 23rd, 2024 - 6:17pmMany thanks for the responses. Have gotten home and looked at the dvds. The release, as you’ve said, isn’t the same as the complete 7th doctor boxset sadly, and doesn’t have the extended version. The picture quality looks like the normal dvd. Obselete soon anyway with the collection box. Was just curious

July 13th, 2024 - 3:51pmHas anyone received their copy of the return of the daleks graphic novel from Amazon?
DoctorWhoFan101
July 9th, 2024 - 3:13pmMight be a daft question, but are any companies allowed to release merchandise of the Kandy Man from The Happiness Patrol? I’m aware the BBC defended themselves against a complaint from Basset’s and were adamant no copyright infringement had been committed, so are they just steering clear?
Mrs Croot
July 9th, 2024 - 3:26pmBlack tree did one back in the day so I assume it must be ok.
Cully’s Pal
July 10th, 2024 - 2:08pmBlack Tree Mrs Croot ? Fan made was it ?
Mrs Croot
July 10th, 2024 - 6:52pmSorry my bad, it’s not fan made, but you’re probably not familiar with the name. Black tree design are the people who sell the harlequin figures nowadays, but since I only got into buying them under black tree, that’s what I always call them, but fans are probably more familiar with calling them harlequin miniatures.
Cully’s Pal
July 11th, 2024 - 11:48amAh yes nice if you can get the well painted on ebay. I know they did a wide range of smal scale Who figures. Pity warlord fizzled out nabbed a few of their’s well painted for a decent price too. I’d have liked their ‘Tomb’ diorama.
Rex F
July 3rd, 2024 - 3:56pmRemembering how certain websites kept quiet about JNT’s collection being sold (not meaning this one, if it even existed back then), people might be interested in the auction ending July 5th at The Pump House. There are things of interest to many people here, some mislabelled in a bad way, some mislabelled in a find a bargain way. Just don’t bid on the things I want!
Rex F
July 3rd, 2024 - 4:46pmAndrew Skilleter fans should definitely look too, especially if they remember an early 90s poster.
Cully’s Pal
July 4th, 2024 - 1:09amWonder which of the actors wore the ‘Power of Kroll’ refinery outfit.
Rex F
July 4th, 2024 - 12:27pmGrahame Mallard as Harg (not Harry, as the listing would have it, and not Davison era – someone at the auction house didn’t check wikipedia…).
I’m particularly looking at the Cyberman head, as that looks like a pull from the original mould or at least a new mould taken from a genuine prop, what with how the grooves are made.
Rex F
July 5th, 2024 - 5:10pmAnyone buy anything? That auction house doesn’t publish prices unfortunately. I know there would have been people here keen to own the big original Skilleter Dalek artwork, if not the props and costumes.
FH
July 7th, 2024 - 6:25pmHad a look but couldn’t find the website tbh.
Rex F
July 7th, 2024 - 9:34pmIf you’re lazy like me, nearly every UK auction shows up on the-saleroom.com – but be warned, it’s very addictive. If some of the auction houses didn’t make delivery so complicated and expensive, I’d probably be bankrupt.
FH
July 9th, 2024 - 10:01pmAh, thank you. 🙂
Rex F
July 10th, 2024 - 4:26amHow many pieces of merchandise were signed by all three of Hartnell, Troughton and Pertwee? At least one, in 1972, because it’s up for sale. And already expensive.
Rex F
July 19th, 2024 - 3:40pmThe signed BBC envelope went for £500 plus fees, so I hate to think what a potential signed photo would cost… I even wonder if the envelope was signed at the Radio Times photoshoot itself.
Snowman
July 2nd, 2024 - 4:21pmDid Sci-Fi Collector used to have a PayPal Option? (I’m sure it did). Just been on today to buy a Few things and it’s not an Option anymore.
Anon
July 2nd, 2024 - 12:47amStrange that the paperback of evil of the daleks still hasn’t been announced yet. It came out in October 23, the new bonnie langford is out in hardback in August and out in paperback according to Amazon in March 25 yet no evil paperback. Very annoying.
Mr Greel
July 1st, 2024 - 6:20pmBooboo this is message for you. Realise this message will be deleted.Think you collect tardis merch.
See ebay – seller makes rolykins has done Chumbly & Mechanoid rolykins. Now doing a Tardis rolykin not sure if you have seen it. His rolykins are great and this Tardis looks great too .Thought you might want to get one.
anon
June 30th, 2024 - 12:24pmHas anyone received a Hardback copy of the latest Doctor Who novel “Caged” which is marked as ‘2’ on the forepage, instead of 1 as a 1st. Edition should be?
MJS
June 30th, 2024 - 2:51pmYeah mine’s a 2
Anon
June 30th, 2024 - 10:56pmI have a 1 copy. Got mine from Amazon.
anon
June 30th, 2024 - 11:26pmThis is what I don’t understand? How can a book that has just been released, already be on a second printing? Surely they can’t have sold the full first print run? Something doesn’t add up here?
Mrs Croot
July 2nd, 2024 - 10:42amGonna assume that all the first editions where at that doctor who convention there (mom comic con was it?), you could see them on display. Maybe they sold really well and were onto a second run, and any first editions are left overs. Maybe they didn’t sell well but first edition was a smaller run only made for the convention, so there’s going to be less. Just some theories.
anon
July 2nd, 2024 - 2:11pmI contacted the Publishers to find out & they told me they did 2 small print runs of this title. Obviously the First Edition is now harder to get hold of. This is the first time in buying many Doctor Who books, that I have had difficulty in getting hold of a First Edition copy. So leaving a gap in my collection!
Rex F
July 2nd, 2024 - 5:12pmanon: Even if you’re the same anon who keeps posting ‘TAO’ and never explaining what on earth it means, good on you for actually contacting the source and getting a reply. I’d doff my cap to you if I was wearing one. (As a Who fan you do realise that you’re really meant to just wildly speculate for several weeks?)
anon
July 2nd, 2024 - 11:56pmTAO (Said jokingly!)
Snowman
June 27th, 2024 - 3:24pmHello Booboo, just wondering if you’ll be putting up a post and photos of the next B&M wave. The Guy on the B&M site said the photos are not leaks and he was given permission. (So Who knows).
booboo
June 27th, 2024 - 3:28pmNo. not unless B&M send them to us ( which they won’t). We will wait for the official press release.
Snowman
June 27th, 2024 - 3:31pmAh, no problem Booboo. I’ve seen them anyway, but I know quite a lot of people only use your site for Dr Who Info. (They don’t bother with Social Media at all).
booboo
June 27th, 2024 - 3:45pmwe won’t just copy someone else’s photos and post them here.
I have said many times traditional websites like this can’t compete with the onslaught of user lead social media that does whatever it wants.
I take the view that is B&M wanted them on here they would send them to us, they know where we are.
Drwhofan08
June 27th, 2024 - 6:01pmI want both sets
mick
June 30th, 2024 - 4:20pmCan’t see b&m giving permission they are very funny about info being given to social media sites
It’s a sackable offence. The info that’s being leaked seemed to be mixed with wrong prices and released dates being given out
booboo
June 30th, 2024 - 4:26pmI have always been one for a “level playing field”, If its OK to see stuff then everyone should be able to see it.
Rex F
June 30th, 2024 - 4:53pmNever mind, you can go elsewhere on the net and see the two still images stretched out into a fifteen (fifteen!) minute video. Editing is a dying art…
booboo
June 30th, 2024 - 5:09pmPrecisely, no level playfield, “go elsewhere on the net” will eventually kill this site as i have often said.
Rex F
June 30th, 2024 - 9:10pmIt’ll surely be a while before that happens. Going elsewhere on the net is too painful for a lot of people, those who still like facts and conciseness. What kind of person is going to endure a fifteen minute video (fifteen!) so that they can see two iffy images and hear tons of waffle? I’d rather just come here and read facts, see good pictures, and find useful info. One stop shop, no BS = great.
Martino
July 4th, 2024 - 11:10amOne of the perils of going on X, which I’m doing less and less now, is the number of muppets childishly posting spoilers and unwanted reveals – I just barely avoided Sutekh spoilers before the BBC aired the final episode, and now I cannot unsee the new B&M wave the algorithm just plonked on my screen. I was really enjoying the anticipation of the official reveal, and its gone just because some twit wanted to show off and feel big for 5 seconds… :O(
booboo
July 4th, 2024 - 11:34amthe social media generation has no respect for embargoes or copying and spreading images that dont belong to them if if asked no to (and never giving credit as to where they came from either) x is full of clickbaiters all wanting to get the news out first regardless of any consequences, This problem has been growing for years and is now uncontrollable.
Rex F
July 4th, 2024 - 1:01pmI’d like to post my thoughts about social media, but I’m having a pleasant day and don’t want to spoil that. And I don’t want to get banned for being an angry potty mouth.
Tom Williams
June 26th, 2024 - 6:42pmJust out off interest if I want too replace discs for series 1,2 or 9 steelbooks is the blu ray copy exact same or a little different ?
Cully’s Pal
June 25th, 2024 - 10:40pmI’m astounded to discover that my one time favourite choice to play the Doctor – Robert Powell – provides the voice of the ‘Time Lord Immemorial’ in the audio release of the same name. As someone who has always found the audios to be something of a let down, I’m curious to know if this one is considered to be any good. It appears to be a ninth Dr. story and I never much cared for Eccleston’s era. So is it worth a listen ?
JX
June 26th, 2024 - 12:08pmIt’s part of an arc so you may find yourself lost, especially considering there are other audio original characters included. Granted, I did enjoy this one but I do love Liv and the Lumiat and Nine a loooot.
Cully’s Pal
June 26th, 2024 - 12:51pmThanks for the info. Really wish Robert had got the role when Tom left – would have changed the course of the show for the better I reckon. If I bought this it would be on the basis of wanting to hear him.
