I'm with Pinwig. Books can only be stored on their side as a temporary measure, not planned You folks must have infinite shelf space - how else could you keep up with the increase in number of books if you don't use the vertical space? Plenty of books have to be slid in above other books here, else there would be nowhere for them to go! Karl

Logopolis 28 February 1981-21 March 1981 K-9 and Company: 28 December 1981 Castrovalva 4-12 January 1982 Your transmission dates are correct but one of them is not a Doctor Who story. The clues are as follows: Doctor Who is not in it and the Doctor Who logo does not appear on screen. Can you guess which one this is? I presume you shove Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures discs in between Doctor Who episodes that aired around them then? -Ralph No, because they are spin off series. K-9 is a one off special made as episodes of s19 by the DW Production team.

Oh yes if I owned the place and could put more bookshelves in they would be stored vertically. -Ralph There can never be enough book shelves

You are aware that a BBC Production of A Midsummer's Night Dream was made by the Doctor Who production team as a block and internally produced as 'episode 13' of Capaldi's 2nd series*? Same crew, budgets, etc. So that must be a Doctor Who episode then? Dimensions in Time was made by the DW production team you know. -Ralph *Source is the DWM article of the time that promoted it.

I wish I had infinite shelf space. Life would be so much easier.
I knew when I took that photo this would happen. I laughed. However, I rather disturbingly find myself agreeing with Ralph's points. I am succumbing to the dark side.

Located a second hand bookshop in Grosmont. Things looked promising when I spotted a VHS of Caves of Androzani on top of a bookcase full of sci-fi books but... not a single Target novel. Just dozens of Star Trek books.

No idea. Star Trek is a closed book to me. Ha. I'm unlikely to be back that way on this holiday so I wouldn't be able to procure any for the collective anyway.
Just think yourself lucky that I didn't buy the Space Precinct novel I idly considered true friending you with for a moment.

Whitby is so far unyielding of second hand bookshops. Disappointing.

At the recent comic mart - picked up a couple of Doctor Who books and made sure that young Nick went away with some belters as well. I snagged the McGann movie novelisation and the Eight Doctors, as well as a new Alien Bodies as mine is quite beaten up and Short Trips. Nick went away with Unnatural History, Interference Books 1 and 2 and The Infinity Doctors.

This is a wonderful thing. As a synopsis it is marvelous.(The comment about things being "manipulated by an unseen hand" got a genuine out-loud laugh from me). Karl

Very nice copy of The Mind of Evil arrived today to fill another hole. Another parcel containing The Time Meddler and The Time Monster is trapped at the PO. With the latter I'll be Pertwee complete. That'll be Docs 3, 4 and 5 ticked off. Closing in on 1. Just found this while searching for one of my old posts - those are the exact three Target books I read this past week! (and in that order, too)

It's James Goss again though, Ralph. You've disliked all his other archive raiding projects so far. Prepare for disappointment!

I thought his version of CITY OF DEATH was fab and have liked his original stories. It's just his other 4th Doc novelisations I disliked...
...and this is the legendary SCRATCHMAN!!! I can't say no! Take my money, BBC! Twice!
Amazed BF didn't touch it in their Lost Stories series. They made audios based off of memories or a few paragraphs! This had a full script!!!

Why do you think that is!
This was announced yonks ago as his new project. He's adapted the script.

That is fishy if you ask me. More like they've decided to play down Goss's involvement to sell the book on Baker's name alone.

What's fishy? Goss has stated he didn't write it.

But what was the point of hiding the truth in the first place? What purpose does it serve?

Probably so they can get a sales boost at a later date, as Tom's name will shift more units as a result.
Hiding him till now, could be a marketing thing - or wanting to see if the demand for the story was actually there without it having Tom's name attached which wouldn't give you a true reflection.
