Having six months pass since reviewing The Eight Doctors has given me quite a bit of perspective on the issue of writing for the Eighth Doctor. The Eighth Doctor is perhaps the Doctor with the largest blank slate when it comes to character development. His line of novels began publishing in June 1997, one year after the airing of The TV Movie , and the Time War as an effect on the character would only come when the series was revived in 2005. All we get is that he’s a hopeless romantic who gets amnesia when he regenerates and during The Eight Doctors picks up companion Samantha Jones for a series of travels. Terrance Dicks focused on a celebration of continuity for his novel, but this leaves Eight and Sam as a blank slate. We know that Sam Jones is a vegetarian and liberal activist living near enough to Coal Hill School while having an overactive sense of justice. Vampire Science is the follow up novel and actually gives us the start of the Doctor and Sam’s actual travels. The biggest problem of the novel is Sam Jones: as a character she doesn’t come across as likable, but is written in this style where she’s just all snark and no care. It seems that the people running BBC Books were attempting to follow the formula to make a companion like the smash hit Bernice Summerfield, but she really doesn’t. Sam’s obsession is saving the planet from pollution and attempting to rebel against parents who would only dislike her if she became a drug addict or dared to join the Conservative Party. She’s a whiny teenager who thinks that everyone should be the ones treating her like an adult and going with the Doctor she can prove it. Sorry, but that’s not really a well-defined character overall and she’s really the only thing getting in the way of this being a great novel. with the Doctor can. Now this is more like it! After reading the frivolous and inconsequential Eight Doctors for the first time, I really thought that the glory days of Doctor Who literature were over. Thankfully though Kate Orman and Jonathan Blum, through their thrilling book Vampire Science , managed to restore my severely tested faith in Doctor Who novels. Indeed, the glory days were just beginning. Vampire Science is simply superb. Kate Orman, Doctor Who�s first female writer in print, quickly established herself as one of the elite writers for Virgin�s New Adventures range, and rightly so. Whilst I can�t say that I�ve been enamoured with each and every one of her books, they have each been written in her own inimitable style and they have all been very memorable. But this is not just an Orman novel - her husband, Jonathan Blum, is credited. as her co-author and his presence is really felt in earnest. Unlike almost all of Orman�s solo novels, Vampire Science has energy and pace; it�s a novel that�s fully loaded. As Orman�s exquisite prose is as recognisable as ever, I can only assume that Blum is responsible for this novel�s drive. What really made this book stand out for me though was the way in which it set up the tales that were yet to come. As a �pilot� for a range of books, The Eight Doctors was appalling in the extreme. Vampire Science , on the other hand, is mesmerisingly perfect. Orman and Blum don�t waste words introducing a new companion through superfluous subplot; oh no. Right from the word go, the Doctor and Sam are old friends. They�ve been travelling for a while. She knows the ropes. Sam didn�t need her introduction in the preceding novel; we glean all that we need to know about her character from the first few pages of this story. Now this would have worked well in itself � Orman and Blum write for the Doctor and Sam. so very well that we simply accept the fact that they have been knocking round the cosmos together for a while. But here is the really clever bit � Vampire Science marks a crucial stage in the Doctor / Sam relationship. This sort of story would normally be, perhaps, the penultimate or even the final story for many companions. Sam has an epiphany. Kramer�s remarks to her about how the seventh Doctor treated Ace, together with the ordeal that she goes through in this novel, really make Sam take stock and consider what she is doing with her life. And, in the end, events here only reaffirm her desire to travel with the Doctor, making this story her perfect introduction. I firmly believe that the eighth Doctor adventures should have started with this novel. If you haven�t read The Eight Doctors, then my advice to you is to simply pick up here and chase the ride. Furthermore, much as the authors both hoped, the Doctor and his new companion �really sparkle together�. It is not because Sam is a particularly noteworthy companion or even because the eight Doctor is a particularly distinctive Doctor � in fact, the exact opposite could be argued. We have the young and headstrong female companion. She thinks she�s wise and strong, but of course she isn�t. Not underneath. And then we have the �mother hen� Doctor. A bit more debonair, perhaps even a little bit more romantic than his predecessors, but underneath he�s the same sweeping, moral force cloaked in zeal. �I�m a former President of the High Council of the Time Lords, Keeper of the. Legacy of Rassilon, Defender of the Laws of Time and Protector of Gallifrey. I�m called the Bringer of Darkness, the Oncoming Storm, and the Evergreen Man. .. � Orman and Blum do make a point though of contrasting this new Doctor to his much more unscrupulous predecessor. The UNIT General, Kramer, knew the seventh Doctor very well and frowned upon his manipulative ways. In Vampire Science though, Kramer really doesn�t know what to make of the new Doctor�s persona. Like almost every other female character. in the book, she often seems quite taken with his almost childlike exuberance. I also liked the San Francisco setting. It serves as a perfect backdrop for. the war between the young members. of the vampire coven and the elder. vampires. After Terrance Dicks� complete debasement of the TV. Movie, it was nice to see the setting. of the eighth Doctor�s birth to be. given a little nod here. I understand. that the nod was meant to be considerably more significant - Grace Holloway was originally intended to reprise her role from the TV Movie, but had to be written out due to issues over the rights. Ironically though, her exclusion probably benefited the novel as her �replacement� - Carolyn McConnell - is a revelation. In Vampire Science we first meet Carolyn as a young woman before catching up with her twenty years later for the bulk of the story, and as a result the reader feels like he knows her very well. She has a very endearing normality about her, more so than ever when she is trying to be different. You can�t help but love her. Vampire Science is replete with yet more memorable characters, most notably the leader of the coven, Joanna Harris, who �bonds� with the Doctor; and the depressed Doctor, Shackle, who becomes so obsessed with the futility of mortality that he allows himself to be turned in- to a Vampire. There is so much inherent conflict between these fascinating characters that, once combined with a corker of a plot, make Vampire Science unputdownable. Finally, it should also be noted that unlike Dicks, Orman and Blum didn�t take it upon them-selves to try and wipe out all sixty-one of the New Adventures novels. In fact, they treat them with due reverence. Orman and Blum squeeze in a cheeky reference to Yemaya - the setting for Orman�s novel Sleepy � together with countless veiled endorsements of the Virgin range. They even make it clear that during the Doctor and Sam�s travels, one day the Doctor just dropped Sam off at a Rally for a few subjective hours whilst he went off travelling by himself for several years , allowing The Dying Days to be accommodated into the Doctor�s timeline, not to mention a flood of eighth Doctor comic strips and audio dramas released since. I also like the charming way in which the writers have the Doctor refer to himself as being �three years old� � a reference to the age of his eighth persona in this novel - before conceding. that the sum total of all his incarnations is something like 1,012 (if indeed he still has count; Nicholas Briggs and Alan Barnes� audio drama Orbis would later suggest that he doesn�t�) For me, Vampire Science could pass for the sixty-second New Adventure .

  • Doctor Who: Peacemaker
    The peace and quiet of a remote homestead in the 1880s American West is shattered by the arrival of two shadowy outriders searching for ‘the healer’. When the farmer refuses to help them, they raze the house to the ground using guns that shoot bolts of energy instead of bullets. In the town of redwater, the Doctor and Martha learn of a snake-oil salesman whose patent medicines actually cure his patients. But when the Doctor and Martha investigate they discover the truth is stranger, and far more dangerous. Caught between the law of the gun and the deadly plans of intergalactic mercenaries, the Doctor are about to discover just how wild the West can become. Featuring the Doctor and Martha as played by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the hit series from BBC television.

  • The Hinchcliffe/Holmes Era of Doctor Who (1975-77) Matt Hills
    ‘Gothic’ Body Parts in a ‘Postmodern’ Body of Work? The Hinchcliffe/Holmes Era of Doctor Who (1975-77) Matt Hills (1) The names Philip Hinchcliffe and Robert Holmes may not be greatly familiar to many academic readers of this volume, unless, that is, they also happen to be fans of the (1963-1989, 1996, 2005-) BBC TV series Doctor Who. Hinchcliffe was the producer of this series on all episodes originally transmitted in the UK between 25/1/1975 and 2/4/77, while Holmes was script editor on all material broadcast between 28/12/74 and 17/12/77. However, he went un-credited in this role on stories where he was named as writer, due to BBC regulations which forbade script editors to commission from themselves (see Howe and Walker, 1998). In story terms, Philip Hinchcliffe produced ‘The Ark in Space’ through to ‘The Talons of Weng-Chiang’, whilst Holmes script-edited stories running from ‘Robot’ through to ‘The Sun Makers’ (1977). Under Hinchcliffe as producer, Holmes also wrote ‘The Ark in Space’, ‘The Deadly Assassin’ and ‘The Talons of Weng-Chiang’, and effectively wrote, or at least heavily reworked, ‘The Pyramids of Mars’ and ‘The Brain of Morbius’ (on-screen, these were attributed to the pseudonyms Stephen Harris and Robin Bland). Today, Philip Hinchcliffe is a regular contributor to DVD commentaries and features accompanying ‘his’ Doctor Who stories. Robert Holmes passed away on 24th May, 1986: his overall contribution to Doctor Who is the subject of a documentary on the DVD release of the (1985) story ‘The Two Doctors’.

    Jan 12 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) gathered in New York to celebrate the Great Detective's 158th birthday during the long weekend from Jan. 11 to Jan. 15. The festivities began with the traditional ASH Wednesday dinner sponsored by The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes at O'Casey's and continued with the Christopher Morley Walk led by Jim Cox and Dore Nash on Thursday morning, followed by the usual lunch at McSorley's). The Baker Street Irregulars' Distinguished Speaker at the Midtown Executive Club on Thursday evening was Dr. Lisa Sanders, author of a "Diagnosis" col- umn for the N.Y. Times and the technical advisor for the television series "House, M.D."; the title of her talk was "Is Holmes Crazy As a Fox, or Just Plain Crazy?", and you will be able to read her paper in the next issue of The Baker Street Journal. The William Gillette Luncheon at Moran's was well attended, as always, and featured Donny Zaldin and Hartley Nathan in a Sherlockian "Carnac the Mag- nificent" skit and the Friends of Bogie's at Baker Street (Paul Singleton, Sarah Montague, and Andrew Joffe) in a Sherlockian tribute to the centenary of the sinking of the Titanic.
