There were plenty of surprises in Jodie Whittaker’s finale, not least the returning companions at the end! There had been some rumblings that Bonnie Langford and Katy Manning would be returning but I don’t think anyone managed to guess that William Russell would be returning as Ian Chesterton for a brief cameo. And with all that excitement aside, it actually meant that Doctor Who broke another…

A lone figure travels across the desert at night on foot, his world lit by a brilliant moon. His thoughts and schemes are his own. So distracted by his plans, he does not notice the figures following him. Nor does he see the sandstorm, sweeping across the sands to rip through anything it encounters, yet the Warlord has a mission.  This is the second of seven prints inspired by the travels of…

The year is 1289. Marco Polo is in the service of the Great Kublai Khan, traveling with mongols. On the journey to China, then known as Cathay, Polo’s barbarian entourage encounters four strangers at a snowy mountain pass. In celebration of Doctor Who‘s 60th year, we present the first of seven illustrations inspired by the travels of Marco Polo, exclusively from Red Bubble. “Mongols at the Pass”…

To coincide with the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who, I’ve created a collection of seven full-colour prints inspired by the events of the First Doctor classic, Marco Polo. In November 2022, the beginning of Doctor Who’s 60th year, the first of these scenes will be introduced and available to buy, with exclusive behind the scenes information on the Doctor Who Companion. After doing a graphic…

BBC Books is to release a special, illustrated edition of the first ever Doctor Who novelisation, Doctor Who and the Daleks (or, as it was originally known, Doctor Who In An Exciting Adventure with the Daleks). The story was first released in 1965, then again in 1967, before it joined the Target novels range in 1973; it was then rereleased in 1992, 2011, and 2016. Whereas the original interior…

Well, this is a find. A chronicle of the Doctor’s lesser known adventures, beautifully written up for a lavish new volume by one David Whitaker. You may not have heard of him: David was a great friend of the Doctor and they collaborated on a number of projects. They worked on a novel based on our travels on Skaro, which David was kind enough to write in the first person – and that first person…

First published in 1977, Doctor Who and the Dalek Invasion of Earth is a book steeped in decay and the smell of death. The TARDIS lands on an abandoned building site by the filthily polluted River Thames. Barbara goes to the river to get water and recoils from the body floating past. Do Not Drink Rainwater. All Rainwater Must Be Boiled Before Consumption. The Doctor and Ian stumble on the body of…

Character Options has revealed three new four sets of Doctor Who action figures, destined for B&M Stores across the UK, including four new Daleks, Ian Chesterton with the Voord from The Keys of Marinus, and the First Doctor alongside two Sensorites! Yep, we’re actually getting action figures of the Sensorites. Both the Sensorites and the Voord debuted in 1964, so for kids and big kids to get to…

I blame TV chef Rick Stein. Yes, Christopher Richard Stein, it’s your fault it’s trapped there. But congratulations, that also means it’s not quite lost… Big reveal: the missing story is An Unearthly Child. What do you mean, ‘it’s not lost’? I know it’s on Britbox, DVD, video cassette… But I don’t mean that An Unearthly Child; of course that one is not lost. I mean the other one. The one in my…

This time, we’re tackling the front end; the cream of the crop of companions — as far as capabilities. No, not necessarily the most popular, beloved, loyal, attractive, longest running or favourite companions.  I’m thinking of which companions, if you placed them alone on an alien planet, out of their depth, and even away from the Doctor, would be the most self sufficient or successful. And of…

The classic First Doctor serial, Marco Polo is the latest instalment in the “Vinyl Who” collection, and is available from today (11th September 2020).

The release comprises of the tale’s soundtrack, spread across 4 x 140g vinyls, with etched TARDIS B Sides. The coloured LPs are presented in sleeves which, when assembled together, form the cover image.

Here’s the synopsis for the seven-part…

The BBC occasionally has a good idea here and there. Committing to animating some of the 1960s missing episodes of Doctor Who is one of them. 

They started out small, animating certain missing episodes to compliment the existing ones of certain stories.

The Invasion. The Ice Warriors. Reign of Terror. The Tenth Planet. The Moonbase. This enabled them to get these “completed” stories out on…

Plastic Daleks! Get your plastic Daleks here!

Following a stream of slightly obscure Doctor Who Figures including Big Finish favourites, Liv Chenka and the Time Controller, comes two lovely blue Daleks based off The Chase. The 1965 story saw the First Doctor, Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright, and Vicki being pursued through time and space by Daleks.

The TARDIS crew encountered these…
