While waiting for my Liz Shaw dolly to arrive, I've been thinking about the important questions...

What outfits should the rest of the companions be in, when Character Options gets round to them? 🧵

Once again Jon has to try and extract nice things from three unimpressed book clubbers...there's some pleasant things to say about Uncle Terry, but mostly we're quite frustrated...

It's Sunday afternoon. Accept you'll never wallpaper the hall and devise a pitch for #DoctorWho #TargetBookClub
gossjam.bsky.social James Goss @gossjam.bsky.social · Jul 3
Q: Can I give a talk at #DoctorWho #TargetBookClub
A: Yes please! Details are here: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/9burh...
THANK YOU for wanting to give a talk about The Best Range Of Books In All Of Time And Space. Talks can be about ANY aspect of Doctor Who Target books (a neglected author, why your favourite book works, cover design, stunningly obscure stuff you've uncovered). APPROACH Smart gossip! Keep it spicy, keep us rolling in the aisles, hit us between the eyes with facts! We ask that all talks be 2,000 words long max (to fit into a 15 minute slot) • Be academic and wonderfully obscure, but keep your language simple, approachable and inclusive. • It's a celebration. Poking fond fun is fine, but please avoid entirely negative pitches. • We have a projector. It will go wrong. By all means prepare slides but maybe don’t rely on them. Thoughts and prayers. • You must be over 18 and have a ticket to the event. • Please avoid off-topic Proustian rambles about your first Targets etc. You've only got 2000 words! Last time we learned - How Crossroads crossed over into Doctor Who! Terrance Dicks’ guide to etiquette! Pip & Jane’s wordplay! And… what made Sarah Jane scream when it grew! WHAT IS THE PITCHING PROCESS? Just email targetbooks50@gmail.com a single paragraph (100 words max) pitching your talk and the ground you want to cover. Include your name as you'd like to be referred to. The deadline for pitches is midnight 1st September and successful pitches will be notified by the 7th September. Again, you must be over 18 and have a ticket to the event. WHAT IF I'M SUCCESFUL? We'd ask that you email a draft to targetbooks50@gmail.com by midnight October 18th, just so we can check it's the right length & etc. It also means that, if you can't attend or present your talk on the day, someone can present it for you. If you find that you're unable to write your paper, don't worry - just let us know by October 11th. If we do not receive a draft by October 18th then we'll assume you can no longer present as you’ve sacked us off to go to a rival symposium about The StarStormers. …

I love this bookshop poster from 1995 - explaining the Star Wars novels timeline. Anyone with whizzy photoshop skills fancy doing one for wilderness years dr who books, picking out highlight titles? I think we need one!

A book we were all looking forward to so much...so why has it left us so (God)damn angry? We got to talk religion, Saint Doctor, and explore why a religion around Doctor Who is a bad idea.

The licence fee is the biggest bargain in the UK. Not only do you get dozens of TV channels, radio stations, websites, apps, educational resources etc but it supports the infrastructure that enables all terrestrial TV.

the cognitive dissonance required to threaten to sue *Amnesty International* out of existence and still think of yourself as a good person is incredible

7-year-old me coveted the Destiny VHS for months, and finally got it for Christmas that year.

The cover was so enticing. Dalek in a desert! Ominous Davros! Mysterious silver lady!

And I loved it from the moment I pressed play 📼

ON THIS DAY... in 1994, 'Destiny of the Daleks', 'The Visitation' and 'Black Orchid' were released on VHS.

Justin Richards is one of the major forces behind my favourite run of Doctor Who stories ever. From the Burning to the Gallifrey Chronicles the strike rate was insane.
Then there are his books which range from good to fucking outstanding.

What a legend.
