Both articles were fun to do. The ‘sideways’ article
involved detailed reading of some Doctor
Who paperwork (printed in the magazine) and, I think, discusses a ‘sideways’
episode which has hitherto been overlooked, while the Blinovitch article also
involved putting aside some received fan wisdoms and casting a fresh-eyed look
at how the TV series has referred to this ‘law’ of time travel. It doesn’t work
in quite the way I thought it did.
Most fun of all, for the ‘sideways’ article I came up with
five stories extrapolated from the ideas in the production paperwork. It’s actually
quite tricky to do – I’ve written a couple of other ‘sideways’ stories for the
first Doctor, you can even read one of them here.
Anyway, it’s a great magazine, please rush out and buy.
