I've arranged with the BBC and the organisers of Newcon in Northampton (11th-12th October) to premiere clips from my Afternoon Play adaptation of Iain Banks' 'The State of the Art' at the event. That'll be at 6.30pm on the Saturday night, and hopefully Iain himself will be on that panel to talk about the project.

Doctor Who: Spearhead From Space - My first experience with the Third Doctor is apparently right after his regeneration (followers of the show or this blog will remember that whenever an actor stepped down from the title role, the Doctor "regenerated" so as to account for his new appearance). Delirious, he and the TARDIS are taken to a military hospital (where his multiple heartbeats put the doctors in a spin). He is brought to the attention of Brigadier General Lethbridge-Stuart, the commander of UNIT (the United Nations ...
Doctor Who: 45th Anniversary Sucks / Rocks (Feature)
RevolutionSF —
Doctor Who has been around since we were all lads and laddies, and it got a sweet rejuvenation a few years ago, with an all-new Doctor that smooshed together nicely in sync with all the previous Doctors. You hear that, sci-fi remakers? Who could imagine such a thing? Here are things that were smashing, and that made us want to smash things, about Doctor Who.
