Doctor Who NA50 ‘Doctor, this is my fiance. Please don’t kill him.’ You are cordially invited to the wedding of Mr Jason Kane and Professor Bernice S. Summerfield, to be held in the village of Cheldon Bonniface in the year 2010. If everything works out, that is. Between rows, fights and pre-emptive divorce proceedings, there may not be a wedding at all. Especially if there really is someone who wants to prevent it happening. Everybody’s coming: from the Ice Warriors to UNIT veterans, a flirtatious Ace to a suspicious Hamlet Macbeth – and a very confused trio of Isley Brothers. The Doctor has to organize a buffet, Roz has a mystery to solve, and Chris has a girlfriend who used to be the Timewyrm. The fiftieth New Adventure, this celebratory book ties up plot threads from the previous novels, features guest appearances from well-loved characters, and includes a chapter written by many of the series’ favourite authors. PAUL CORNELL is one of the most popular and prolific authors in the New Adventures series.

Peter C. you nearly missed it. You can’t get away as easily as that. ’Bye! For Alison Lawson In The Words of David Cassidy. The boudoir incident that had Antoinette bewitched, The careless mug of cocoa that almost had him hitched, The furrowed brow on Delphon that meant betrothal to a prince, And wisely, the Doctor has avoided all such situations since. Companions, though, have been less than careful in resisting such attraction, And signal their departure by slowing down the action, Not by fainting, twisting ankles, whilst evading signs of danger, But like our archaeologist, going gooey for a stranger. You are cordially invited to attend a wedding feast, To witness the marital union of Jason and Bernice. But true love can be disastrous, as the Doctor’s demonstrated, And whilst some never find Mr Right, others are inundated. One went through a fair few men before she finally chose; She’d be about to leave and then, some blond bloke would propose; Seduced over mushrooms whilst discussing toxic scares, King Peladon offered horrors of kids with purple hair. Jo, though, wouldn’t consider Izlyr as a warm, attractive host, Some say it was Savaar’s helmet that attracted Benny most. Susan tempted Aztecs and David Campbell followed, Peri got Yrcanos so she’s probably been swallowed. How Leela fell for Andred we are given no indication; Billy left with Delta to increase her population; Kassia and Tremas had a raucous nuptial do, And Grendel just planned weddings which continually fell through. The Brigadier won his Doris after numerous hotel dates; Marrying Saphadin for peace Joanna would not contemplate. For George, Charles Cranleigh’s love of Ann was not the best of news, And Susan stayed with David, so the Doctor took her shoes. Ballroom-dancing Benton put his Mavis in a huff; The Master showed the Atlantean Queen he’s real hypnotic stuff; Jo Grant eventually went for brains (amazing though it seems)– Mike Yates lost out to Clifford Jones, the Welshman of his dreams. Petra warmed Greg Sutton up, but he very nearly blew it; Failing to win Jobel’s heart, Tasambeker stabbed him through it. Vira still loved Noah but she wasn’t quite his kind, And Marriner wanted Tegan, but only for her mind. Staying behind in Troy established Vicki as a myth; For Giuliano, love was mirrored, for he looked just like Miss Smith. But all these lives and loves look tame compared to our false Professor’s, Who lives her life at twice the pace of all her predecessors. With over forty chapters, Benny’s life reads like a thriller: Her diary tells of zombies, gods, assassins and guerrillas. We learnt about her passions for the Twentieth Century, But we never met her dad, wherever he might be. Sensopaths and Vampires, Oxford, darkness, blood and fire, Sheldukher and Olleril, the great Aztec Empire, All aboard the Schirron Dream, Menaxus, Shadowfell – Miss Summerfield has done it all, Medieval France as well. Doctor Watson Benny found a shameful, wicked flirt, And dangerous at twenty feet to anything in a skirt. Haiti 1914, Artefact and Peladon, Monks and punks and German spies – her journal carries on. Warlock, the Supreme One, London in the Seventies, All subject to our academic’s curiosities. Guests from past and future will see Bernice and Jason wed, Gastropods with buttonholes, cravated quadrupeds, Tailcoats with tails protruding, grunts for glasses to be refilled, Martian guests complaining that champagne has not been chilled. And notably absent certain malicious pepperpots Who never go to weddings and have avoided fifty plots, And the Doctor, by the vol-au-vents, behind the Hula Hoops, Awaiting Happy Endings. one more fledgling flies the coop.

She patted the ornate chair arms and smiled sweetly at the stocky man who stood impassively by the office door. ‘What an enormous and well-appointed chair it is, Castellan Spandrell. I can almost see why somebody would want to be President.’ ‘It is not too late to change your mind, Lady President,’ Spandrell rumbled. ‘The election was a very close thing. Or so I would guess. I am not officially allowed to know.’ ‘So?’ Romana pushed a stray hair back from her brow. ‘Fifty-three per cent to forty-seven. A surprise result.’ He sighed deeply. ‘Which means, of course, that it should not be a surprise to anybody. The Interventionists were seen in the lobbies.’ ‘I promised a kinder, gentler Gallifrey. They expect me to involve the Time Lords in the affairs of the universe. Should I?’ Spandrell shrugged: slowly, portentously, like a tectonic plate shifting. ‘There are,’ he concluded, ‘a few small things that might need doing. Your predecessor would doubtless have got round to them. ’ His voice trailed off into a diplomatic grumble. ‘If she hadn’t been found drunk in charge of the Sash of Rassilon, yes. I have a few things that I’d like to do myself.’ Romana stood up and put her hand to her chin. ‘I’d like an embassy for the Tharils. As a fellow timefaring race, we should be treating them with respect.’ ‘As you wish,’ said Spandrell. ‘Do you have a strategy report for me? I think I should consult such a thing before we go any further.

Running out of storyBy Michael BattagliaBack in the day, Virgin had quite the line of Doctor Who books out. Not all of them were winners and some were rather mediocre (none were super-bad but I read some that came close) but it was nice to have someone publishing Who books on a more or less regular basis. And then, apparently out of nowhere, the BBC decided that they could do a better job and yanked the license away from Virgin, ending both the Missing Adventures line (which this particular book was part of) and the Seventh Doctor focused New Adventures line. You think that none of this is relevant? Well, I'm not finished yet. The last of the Missing Adventures features the fourth Doctor, Romana (the second one, played by Lalla Ward) and the ever-cheerful K-9. Still running from the Black Guardian (don't ask) they wind up on a planet near the end of Time and quickly get wrapped up in events.

With this novel, however, the written word allows Platt the freedom to tell his story at a slower pace, making it easier for the reader to follow not only the broad strokes but also the intricate subtleties of his plot. For me, the brilliance of Cat�s Cradle: Time�s Crucible can be summed up in just one word: Gallifrey. This novel is the first story since The Deadly Assassin to really get to grips with. the rudiments of Time Lord civilisation, and the first story ever to flesh out the culture of this fascinating race in any sort of satisfactory fashion.
