October was\u2026 odd, wasn\u2019t it? A change of clothes, some drive-by legislation for Radagast (plus some other Moff alumni in Freeman and Nesbitt of course) &#8211; is there nothing we won&#8217;t do to get Doctors to return to our shores? And this:<\/p>\n<p><strong>AXONMANIA!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Who\u2019d have thought we\u2019d come to this? It seems all the planets have aligned for the moment \u2013 we\u2019re near enough in Axon heaven for those of us who enjoy a bit of frog-faking bug-eyed curly-whirly in our lives. <em>DWM<\/em>\u2019s current strip<em> The Golden Ones<\/em> is storming barns everywhere with a solid team of Johnny Morris and Martin Geraghty leading the charge \u2013 and it\u2019s in colour! Precisely the sort of thing colour was invented for, that &#8211; the Pertwee canon. Coming soon from Big Finish Productions of course is the spoilerifically-titled <em>The Feast of Axos<\/em> for Old Sixie and Evelyn, so if you like that sort of thing (and we do) it\u2019s well looking forward to, especially with old Axon Male Bernard Holley soothing the mike with that cake-in-a-velvet-glove voice of his. Oh I\u2019ve come over all funny. What else? Well, <em>Seeds of Doom<\/em>, innit? There\u2019s an Axon in that one for sure. A green one. Hat-trick!<\/p>\n<p><strong>SPEAKING OF HATS\u2026<br \/>\n<\/strong>Bouquets to <em>DWM <\/em>also for their recent interview with mad Tom Baker and his latter-day costume designer June Hudson. In Soho, of course. Six pages of mutual admiration, madness and genuine fondness. It\u2019s a great read. And good to see June\u2019s still dress-model deep in <em>Who<\/em>, having created the rather painterly cover for the third volume of Tom\u2019s new audio series <em>Demon Quest<\/em>. And it\u2019s not like she didn\u2019t have designs of her own on Old Sixie and yon Eighth Doctor as well, as <a href=\"http:\/\/community.livejournal.com\/dw_cosplay\/397457.html\" target=\"_blank\">this fascinating link<\/a> shows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SPEAKING OF EIGHT IN CLOTHES\u2026<br \/>\n<\/strong>Oh dear.<\/p>\n<p>A leather jacket, Paul? A big chunky glow-headed sonic that you now have to point at things? <em>A hand bag?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Your Doctor\u2019s meant to be approaching an all-encompassing Time War, not a mid-life crisis!<\/p>\n<p><strong>RIP TORCHWOOD MAGAZINE<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yup. It\u2019s dead. Kaput. Joined the choir invisible.<br \/>\nI don\u2019t think draping tea bags over a Cardiff fence is going to bring this one back either, kids.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SPEAKING OF RETURNING FROM THE DEAD\u2026<br \/>\n<\/strong>Revisitations Twooo! <em>Carnival<\/em>! <em>Resurrection<\/em>! <em>Seeds of Deaaath<\/em>!<br \/>\nYour mileage may vary in your response to that forthcoming DVD line-up. <em>Resurrection<\/em> gets an episodic treatment and if there are new effects a Tennant-hosted doco and cool Info Text then fair enough and more power to your gunstick. But <em>Carnival<\/em>? Really? And didn\u2019t we already pay too much for <em>Seeds<\/em> in the first place? I mean, it\u2019s a good story with some lovely images but it\u2019s a slick package already at two-thirds the price. Sure, Pat\u2019s face is blue on the DVD spine and not full-colour. Apparently this is a BIG DEAL to some of the more OCD collectors out there. But is it worth delaying a VidFired copy of <em>Tomb of the Cybermen<\/em> for this?<\/p>\n<p><strong>LINKS<br \/>\n<\/strong>Some love though, people, for our recent additions to the links over to the right. A CosPlay blog that\u2019s really seriously good and well-researched! Doctor Oho is reviewing comic strips (and there\u2019s a great Martin Geraghty interview over on his page too, with some rather tempting <em>Vworp Vworp<\/em> news!) And even <em>RTP<\/em>\u2019s blog has shaken some of the grave dirt off and staggered out onto the empty streets, hungry for braiinns!<\/p>\n<p>Chuck us a vid, love\u2026<br \/>\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/kjQlTjLdv9w?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/kjQlTjLdv9w?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Good &#8217;nuff!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now \u2018vember is upon us we approach the Christmas special at increasing speed.
