LET BATTLE COMMENCE!

Taken out of time and now being charged with transgressing the First Law of Time by his corrupted peers in the High Council, his own title of Lord President defunct and deposed, the Sixth Doctor must fight his own corner against his aggressive court prosecutor enemy, the Valyard (Michael Jayston), and watched like a hawk by the learned, overeeing female Inquisitor (Lynda Bellingham), during the ongoing drama that is The Trial of a Time Lord.

WARHEAD!

Art composition by Sean Longmore.

The Daleks' plan of war and revenge against the Time Lords via the trapping of the Doctor and his companions, finding the solution to the Movellan virus affecting them via the return of their creator, Davros, and the conquering of Earth via Robot Duplicates - all in a day's work for the evil, scheming creatures of Skaro in the classic Resurrection of the Daleks.

I'm looking forward to seeing the all-new CGI effects replacements for the story within the upcoming  The Collection - Season 21 box set, available in the Spring.

RISE OF THE ANTI-MAN!

At the edge of the galaxy, no one can hear you scream, as the dreaded Anti-Matter obscenity that is the transformed Professor Sorenson goes on a murderous, life-sucking rampage against the human rescue team sent to retrieve him and his 'new discovery', as the dark terror and fascination of the Planet of Evil is revealed.

The memorable Target Books reprint art for the classic story, from the early eighties, by the ever-talented Andrew Skilleter.

CLASSIC ART: GOLDEN PERIL!

Earth has never been in a more vulnerable, or dangerous, state from such distinctive foes emergent from outer space: the vampire-ish golden monsters, the Axons, with their parasitic symbiont powers, and the vindictive Time Lord menace that is the Master, returned to destroy the Doctor in the process...

Great art by the ever-excellent Daryl Joyce showcasing another Jon Pertwee gem, The Claws of Axos!

INTO THE CYBER-TRAP!

Watch out, Zoe! Image colourisation by Clayton Hickman.

On the mysterious Silver Carrier space craft, plucky astrophysicist Zoe Herriot has found the vitally needed Bernalium Rods for the space wheel's weapons system, but is soon in danger from the once-hidden Cybermen, in this great specially posed publicity image for the partially lost classic The Wheel in Space.

Classic Radio Times promo for the story, and the introduction of Zoe.

Look out for the official audio LP soundtrack release of the David Whitaker story from Demon Records, available from February 13th, 2026...

A TIME OF PROSPERITY AND SECRETS...

Within the sparkling, technologically advanced City of the Elders, two of its popular citizens, Flower (Kay Patrick) and Avon (Robert Sidaway), enjoy their lives and the new visitors to their world, if  avoiding and not recognising the true cost behind the shiny veneer of decadent civilisation to which they are a part, in a great image from the still all too underappreciated, The Savages.

FISHY FRIGHTS WITH 'THE PESCATONS'!

Underwater dangers and a threat to London and the Earth from brutal reptilian aliens are on the cards for the Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith, as 'the Pescaton invasion has begun...' Great art from the 1985 Argo Records re-issue cover for Doctor Who and the Pescations, which looks as striking and memorable as ever.

I listened to this record constantly over the late seventies and always enjoyed it. Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen were terrific as ever in recorded media, and the fierce Pescatons conceived by former Who Script Editor Victor Pemberton were a sound designed winner - it's a shame they never made it to live-action form, they had great potential!

Art by Jeff Cummins.

The original fast-paced novel adaptation by Pemberton finally makes it onto BBC Audiobooks from January, 2026, read by the excellent Jon Culshaw.
