Doctor Who books (fiction, nonfiction, nonfact)

[Allyn Gibson]

I thought it barely got along, they were in such a rush that they didn’t work anything full up and it all changed once Tom isn’t showing up.

I was also under the impression that Dicks didn't have the entire plot worked out, but he had something like 40 pages of script because Tom Baker wouldn't commit until he saw a script. Then Tom passed. There may be correspondence in Dicks' papers that Guerrier is drawing from.

I'm curious if the role of the Castellan will be filled by Colin Baker's Maxil from "Arc of Infinity," which I believe was the original plan.

I can hear big finish salivating.
If it’s anything like the Scratchman adaptation, there will be all sorts of fan service and references that are a bit anachronistic.
Saying that, Scratchman read by Tom is great.

Can Cukshaw do Terrance Dicks, can his be the narrator voice on the audio book?
Jonathan Ross might work in a pinch…

Saw the cover.
Tom on it.
Granted the story make him pretty central, but as it would have been 83, if you aren’t going with all of them you should go with five.

I got my copy of The Monster of Fang Rock from Obverse the other day. That makes sixteen books in the Cushingverse series, which has been going since 2019. They're unlicenced, nonprofit books raising money for charity (an established tradition in the world of Doctor Who), but unusually they're all still in print. That's bound to end eventually, I imagine, at which point they will become legendary, rare, and sought after. I haven't read the last few yet but the ones I have read have been fun.
