I like Zack – but I'm in no hurry to find out if there are enough of us to make him happen. The longer the wretched alternatives to Zack show their colours, the better chance he has, I think. My hope is that since Mamdami, Zack might have slightly more than a snowball's chance in a blast furnace.

You were right! Alas... with 'The Five Doctors' I charitably guessed keeping the ribbon was just lazy page layout. But given those Two Doctors covers, the publisher surely made an intentional choice to put product maked 'second edition' on shelves. So yeah, actual evil in print 😊

I bet you're right. I was a bit put off the Targets by then and never bought it.

* nonsensical numbering system
* cheap photo cut-outs on the Davison books
* 'Second Edition'

To be fair, I remember they had a return to form with some well-written adaptations of long-overdue serials e.g. Inferno.

The voice-activated joystick in the Commodore 64 flight simulator 'Echelon' was operated by a tatty headset accessory called 'The Lip Stick'.

Worst part is I can see his point - but no, I gotta believe the play's the thing 🎭

Speaking of plays, I'm just sat down to The Woodland Players' 'Frozen Assets'. If Mr H still has those am dram docs going spare, they may be worth contacting... thewoodlandplayers.co.uk/index.php/contact

It's absolutely a 'Revenge of the Cybermen'-style head in 'Dalek'. I think they made a great choice, I love all the little gun barrels and other shapes. I saw one in a museum myself in 2001. Great listen, Daniel's ability to quote 'Dalek' is wild!
