Did we mention it has that Faction Paradox in it (only for one story, to be fair), too?

Ryan’s not on here so I’m gonna plug this on his behalf. This is an incredible deep dive into arguably Doctor Who’s most controversial modern story and well worth the few quid being asked for. You won’t look at this story the same way again after!

Without having context, the phrase "JK Rowling has attacked India" is alarming but somehow not surprising, like sure, she's obtained intercontinental ballistics capability, this was always a possibility

'Midnight' is a masterpiece of minimalist Doctor Who which rejects the conventions of the series to examine the nature of evil and how it can corrupt human society. Philip Purser-Hallard takes a seat at the back of the Bus in the 69th Black Archive, available to pre-order now.

Yeah, doesn't work post-Brexit. Or at least never has for me (multiple returns in the early days after we lost all sanity and headed out the Euro door).

Brenda and Effie are back!

Or are they...?

Because they haven’t been seen for years and the Bitches’ Maw has closed up. It seems there are no more monsters…

Have we perhaps spoken out of turn?

Not really the answer you're after, but a quick Wordpress install and pick a free theme is the work of at most a few hours.

Shipping to anywhere outside the UK from the UK is either horribly expensive (US/Australia) or likely to be lost/returned by customs (Europe, but Germany especially). It’s a lottery posting books abroad for @obversebooks.bsky.social nowadays.

Expect an announcement that he's stepping down from Parliament to concentrate on his business interests (or translating Thatcher's speeches into bad schoolboy Latin) shortly.

58 years ago, the first episode of the glorious Doctor Who serial "The Myth Makers" was broadcast. You can't see it now but you can read my book about it. obversebooks.co.uk/product/65-t... Contains scholarship, jokes, production background and stuff on Wiles and Cotton I suspect you never knew.

A lovely handwritten thank you card from Keighley at Alzheimers Research after we sent them the first lot of cash raised by the recent Forgotten Lives Omnibus. Haven't had one of those before! That's a thanks to all the writers, artists and customers, of course.
