The Latest Issue of DWAS’ Celestial Toyroom sees Doctor Who Meet the Triffids

Despite the vivid cover for the latest Celestial Toyroom (the free-to-members publication of the Doctor Who Appreciation Society), the Third Doctor never did meet Triffids. This isn’t to underestimate the relevance of John Wyndham’s work to Doctor Who. I was lucky enough to be able to write a piece on this very topic and flattered to have my article inspire this glorious cover picture, by Paul Cooke and Andrew-Mark Thompson.

It’s long been a source of some frustration seeing John Wyndham’s influence overshadowed by overused references to it’s a bit like Quatermass. While I enjoy Quatermass, it’s time we looked wider when we think about Doctor Who – so that’s exactly what my article (“Doctor Who and the Triffids, The Kraken, The Chrysalids and So Much More….”) does!

Here’s what else is inside the latest issue:

  • A Cheerful Tweeting in the Darkness
  • Blank Video Who?
  • Visualising Time and Space
  • Remembrance of Time Lords Past
  • Season 26 Revisited on Shiny Blu Ray
  • RTD v Moffat: Who’s the Greatest?
  • Dimensions in Space

Celestial Toyroom issue 507 is coming through letterboxes now. Details on the DWAS website.
