My local fish & chip shop has decided to use AI (I suspect) for their new menu. This strange looking battered fish reminds me of something from Doctor Who but I can’t quite put my finger on it…

A rather strange looking AI generated battered fish atop a pile of geometrically perfect shaped chips.

The Black Archive 47 - The Stones of Blood by Katrin Thier, published by @obversebooks.co.uk A fascinating exploration of the real history and intertextuality of this half folk horror, half sci-fi courtroom drama which exemplifies the wonderful springboard of wider learning that Who lends itself to.

Took delivery of this tome by @davidbrunt.bsky.social from Telos Publishing earlier today! A real thing of beauty, well worth the wait, and I can’t wait to get stuck in! I can tell this is going to help inestimably when I come to revise and expand my video on the Troughton era!

Millenial Rites by Craig Hinton. Now that’s how fan service should be done! Instead of a list of ‘member berries’, Hinton takes various threads of Who lore and weaves them into an exciting and surprising narrative that never forgets the human stories at its heart despite the epic canvas.

The cover of Millenial Rites by Craig Hinton, published by Virgin. Alister Pearson’s design shows the Sixth Doctor clothes in the black robes of the Valeyard above Mel Bush who is wearing blue armour with Gold accents and who has a Bride of Frankenstein-style hair style. Next to them is an illustration of the One Canada Square building beneath a stormy sky. The building is seemingly made of gold.

System Shock by the late Justin Richards. Dr Who meets Die Hard. I was prepared to find the computer stuff quaint but was pleasantly surprised by Richards’ foresight, and the AI theme was also remarkably prescient. The enemies’ preoccupation with corporate navel-gazing smacks of lived experience!

The cover of Doctor Who - System Shock by Justin Richards, published by Virgin. Beneath a portrait of Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor stands Sarah-Jane Smith in a white shirt and black skirt holding an mp5 submachine gun. Next to them is the shiny reverse of a compact disk in which is reflected a woman's face with the skin partially torn to reveal a cyborg lizard alien beneath.

The Black Archive #46 The Awakening by David Evans-Powell, published by @obversebooks.co.uk A great examination of a mostly overlooked story! The exploration of folk horror and its expression in Who stories is particularly fascinating and helps to define this reader’s love of this aspect in the show

Doctor Who-The Handbook-The First Doctor by Howe, Stammers & Walker. A foundational text of Doctor Who scholarship on which so many other reference guides and behind-the-scenes books have been based. Whilst it's been superseded in some respects, its neat and tidy structure is still very helpful.

A Future in Five Minutes: A Biography of Jacqueline Hill by Louise Bremner. An excellently researched insight into one of the earliest companions in Doctor Who, who remains enigmatic with so much of her life and work lost to time. Her tragic and untimely passing is handled with great sensitivity.

Doctor Who - The Underwater Menace by Nigel Robinson, published by Target. A fun and faithful adaptation of this much derided early Troughton adventure. Side note: is it possible the fish people went on to ally with the sea devils to become Homo Amphibia? I’m sure I’m not the first to suggest this!

The family of Justin Richards are very touched by what people said about him this week. For those who wish to donate in his memory, they suggest Read for Good, a charity that works to get children reading, just as Justin strived to do with his writing. readforgood.enthuse.com/JustinRichar...

“Thank you all so much for your kind words about Dad. If any of you would like to do something in his memory then please consider donating to Read for Good, a charity that does work to get children reading, just as Justin always strived to do with his writing.”

If I could also ask some kind souls with accounts on other social media sites to please share this link as well so it can be found by those not on Facebook with us, as this is the extent of my social media reach and I know there's been a lot of kind thoughts and words about Dad elsewhere as well.

Doctor Who - Judgement of the Judoon by Colin Brake, published by BBC Books. A fun romp that captures the essence of the Tenth Doctor’s era in its lighter moments. Entirely predictable but no less fun because of it. I kind of fell in love with the Judoon Commander and his sweet dedication to Nikki!

Sad to hear of Justin Richards' passing. Such a fantastic writer who helped keep the Dr Who flame alive during the Wilderness Years and beyond. In the EDA days, one always knew one was in for a great read when Justin's name was on the cover, and his scripts for Jago & Litefoot were incomparable. RIP
