Blakes 7 Lucifer

Release Date 21 June 2013

Category: Blakes 7

Many legends surround the aftermath of the collapse of The Federation, including the fate of Kerr Avon...

What happened to Avon after the death of Blake and the crew of the Scorpio? Paul Darrow's vivid re-imagining picks up Avon’s story at the final moments of the final episode of Blake's 7 and follows him on his fight for survival, this time with no crew and no ship to help him.

The adventure continues years later as Avon, now an old man, finds himself a key player in the game of power politics being played out on a grand scale by The Quartet - four ruthless leaders in an uneasy alliance, who govern the world in place of the Federation. Old enemies resurface and dangerous new ones appear as the time comes for old scores to finally be settled...

JN-T - The Life and Scandalous Times of John Nathan-Turner

On Order £19.99

Release Date 24 June 2013

Category: Autobiography

MORE STOCK DUE SOON

J.N.T. - The Life and Scandalous Times of John Nathan-Turner tells the story of the most controversial figure in the history of Doctor Who.

For more than a decade, John Nathan-Turner, or 'JNT' as he was often known, was in charge of every major artistic and practical decision affecting the programme. He cast three doctors, seven companions and brought back the Master, among many classic villains and monsters, and masterminded the 20th anniversary celebrations in 1983. He displayed a particular flair for generating worldwide publicity but his relationship with fandom was bittersweet and often stormy. His high profile success and future promise came to an abrupt end with the sudden and shocking cancellation of the programme in 1985. Although the cancellation was commuted to a postponement, John Nathan-Turner - and Doctor Who - had fallen out of favour. In 1986, script editor Eric Saward quit the show, giving his reasons in an incendiary magazine interview. Nathan-Turner left the BBC in 1990, shortly after the programme was dropped, apparently for good. He never worked in mainstream television again. A heavy drinker and smoker, he died at the tragically early age of 54.

Richard Marson brings his dramatic, farcical, sometimes scandalous, often moving story to life with the benefit of his own inside knowledge and the fruits of over 80 revealing interviews with key friends and colleagues, from stars to secretaries, his childhood best friend to his personnel officer, those he loved and those from whom he became estranged. Richard has also had access to all of Nathan-Turner's surviving archive of paperwork and photos (many of which appear here for the very first time), as well as BBC archival material and video and audio archive from a range of private sources.

Once upon a time there were two sisters. They were created by beings called the Grace. Both sisters had magic powers. When they were together, they could do anything. Go anywhere and when. Reach into people's minds, even influence their thoughts.

They tried to be good. They tried to do what was right. But even when they tried their hardest to help people there were unintended consequences.

They still did terrible things. So many people still died. The sisters lost people they loved. There was a man... They thought they'd lost him forever.

There are lots of stories about the two sisters. But that story – their last story, about the day they chose to die... Those who knew what really happened are all dead.

Except for one. A man. Living by the sea. And he promised never to tell...

Now On The Big Screen: The Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to Doctor Who at the Cinema

On Order £15.99

Release Date 30 June 2013

Category: Dr Who Books (other than novels)

In 1965, two American filmmakers took the BBC’s Doctor Who television series to the cinema. Starring Peter Cushing, Dr Who and the Daleks and Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150AD brought a colourful world of Dalek invaders and a time-travelling Police Box to the big screen for the very first time.

In the decades since, many other filmmakers have tried and failed to replicate the success of those two movies. Barely a year has gone by without someone, somewhere, trying to make a new motion picture based around Doctor Who.

Through new interviews with those involved and never before published paperwork from the British Board of Film Censors, the story of Doctor Who’s difficult relationship with the cinema can now be told.

This is the complete story of the few Doctor Who films that were made and the many more that were not. It is an exciting adventure of Scarecrows, Yeti and the deadly game of Cricket. It is also a cautionary tale of a hopeless place called ‘development hell’ and the souls of the many lost motion-pictures that have ended up there.
