Take eight Doctor Who fans with nothing to talk about but the 2006 series. Put them in a room, and watch as they deconstruct (or is that break?) Series 2. This is the 2006 Kasterborous Round Table, introduced last year as a way to fill the gap between series 1Read More →
Continuity – and retro continuity – have long haunted Doctor Who. Throughout the 1960s the only constants were the Doctor, the TARDIS and occasional appearances by the Cybermen and the Daleks.

The Romanas were arguably smarter than the Doctor, yet their reaction to the horror’s of space was toRead More →
We’ve talked about Robert Holmes a lot in the past in these articles, and no doubt will again in the future. Although not his final Doctor Who story, Caves of Androzani is certainly one of his best, and the circumstances that surround it, the development of the Doctor and PeriRead More →
Now then Ant has returned and we head out for the train station… again. We make it on time, exactly on time. The convention is much like I expected it would be, costumed fans floating around the place and some of them disappearing and reappearing in new costumes. Ant, ChristianRead More →
This is a tale of a historical meeting. Or at least it would be if we were historical figures, but for the sake for this story let’s put on our imagination caps and think of this as an adventure like one of our favorite Doctor Who stories. This story startsRead More →
Doctor: [To the Cyberleader] ‘You’re nothing but a pathetic bunch of tin soldiers skulking about the galaxy in an ancient spaceship.’ Cyberleader: ‘Cybermen can survive more efficiently than animal organisms. That is why we will rule the galaxy.’ Revenge of the Cybermen And that is what it boils down to.Read More →
