A 10 part children’s fantasy series based on a trilogy of books by Peter Dickinson. I don’t remember this myself but it seems to have quite a cult following.

Although it achieved good ratings and high international sales, production problems and scheduling issues meant the man and the machine rode into the sunset after just 13 episodes.

Doctor Who: The Condemned.

The TARDIS lands inside a run-down tower block, beside a dead body, which leads to some awkward questions. Made the prime suspect, how can the Doctor prove to DI Patricia Menzies that she's actually investigating the death of an alien?

I read the Stephen King (as Richard Bachman) novel many years ago. I didn’t realise there’s now a movie version. SK adaptations are very hit and miss so let’s see what Paul thought of it.

John was an exemplary British character actor with an impressive list of credits. There weren’t many cult favourites he didn’t appear in over the years. Outside of the obvious, Knights Of God is one I fondly remember.
