TO CATCH A RUNAWAY!

His escape from the Psychic Service (of which he was once a founding member) savagely thwarted by the evil Chief Clown (Ian Reddington, in a memorable performance), within the desert wilderness of Segonax, the emotionally damaged Bellboy (Christopher Guard) will be forced to live the terror of the Gods of Ragnarok all over again.

A tense scene from The Greatest Show in the Galaxy, a fine story for the show's 25th Anniversary year, and one which got solid ratings in its one and only airing in 1988.

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.
