There are a couple of new Doctor Who magazines out now that I’ve written bits for. First,
there’s the latest edition of The
Essential Doctor Who, covering ‘Relative Dimensions: Parallel Worlds and
Alternative Realities Beyond Our Universe’.
There are three articles by me; ‘Same Difference’, which
acts as an introduction to the magazine and how parallel universes have
featured in the series in various ways; there’s also ‘The Facts of the
Antimatter’, specifically covering the Antimatter universe; and Head Games,
covering computer-generated realities. As always, the remit and the challenge
is to explore the subject in a way that hasn’t been done before and to pick out
new points of interest. My favourite being that the parallel universe of ‘Pete’s
World’ somehow also contained the pop group ‘Tight Fit’.
The magazine also contains many other marvellous features, including a fascinating look at the early drafts of Inferno, Battlefield and Father's Day and the unmade story The Nightmare Fair. There's also an article on parallel universes in the audios which completely fails to mention my alternate universes tory Flip-Flop.
Also out now is the latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine, containing another of my Blogs of Doom. The eighteenth! And people said it wouldn’t last. In fact, they wrote in requesting that. But it’s still going strong. Its purpose is just to amuse, simply to amuse. Nothing serious, nothing political.

Anyway, this time it features everyone’s favourite character
from The Macra Terror. No, not the
first Chicki played by Sandra Bryant who probably didn’t even appear in the
story. Medok!
It also features many other fascinating articles, I particularly recommend the one on Professor Eric Laithwaite, and some interesting interviews with some old writers.
In other news, my forthcoming Big Finish audio Doctor Who: The Kamelion Empire will
soon no longer be forthcoming, as it’s due to be released next week. You can
listen to a preview of the first 15 minutes of episode one at the end of this podcast (from 20 minutes in).
