A few more Armada Dr. Who novels...

Three more Armada book covers... including a very early one for the first - published so early, there weren't even any proper stills for the cover. 

Whatever happened to Biddy and Cliff?

Space: 1999 mini-albums - 21 Minutes of Moon Madness!

I haven't done any mini-albums for a while but I was reminded of the final four that the failing company (which had been sold off to K-Tel) released in the mid-seventies. 

They were based on the popular Space: 1999 and featured specially recorded performances by the three main stars - Martin Landau, Barbara Bain and the other one. 

Sadly the entire range was swiftly withdrawn from sale shortly after their release following complaints from parents about the John Koenig one. Can't think why... 

They occasionally turn up in charity shops but not as records.

Into Action with John Koenig!

The Other One

New Merchandise for Older Doctor Who Fans

With Doctor Who fans growing older by the day, the BBC has licenced a number of new products available for the older person. 

The Tingha & Tucker National Party

Tingha and Tucker - the fondly remembered ATV kids series from the 60s is shortly to be available on DVD from the lovely folk at Network - even though only one complete episode exists in the archives.

I have to admit that I was a fresh faced young member of the Tingha and Tucker club and Auntie Jean sent me a membership card, a boomarang and a shiny badge after my mum sent her a shilling for stamps. 

Here's the ad once it was passed through my cynical modern mind...

Murder She Wrote - the crossover episodes

There was that time that Thomas Magnum - star of TV's Magnum PI - met Jessica Fletcher - star of TV's Murder She Wrote. 

It was a crossover caper. Part one aired as a segment of Magnum PI whilst the story concluded in a segment of Murder She Wrote. 

Thanks to a disreputable source of mine, I've got hold of the TV Guide ads for some other lesser known crossovers from everyone's favourite elderly female detective (after Miss Marple). 

She got about a bit, didn't she?
