There was certainly a wide variety of themes over the years.....

My least favourite was this type of thing.....






Although I liked his opening theme for the show, the rest of it, while not awful music per say, often seemed misplaced and inappropriate.

I take a look at over 35 years of Doctor Who in the world of video games – from texts to pixels, I’ll examine it all. Doctor Who has, in a way, grown up with the world of video games. 1977 saw the first game in Pong and four years later, Doctor Who joined the party. Join me as I take a wander through the halls of the many video games that tied to the British Telly Show...Doctor Who.

Product description

Roger Delgado is instantly recognisable as the Master in Doctor Who but his most famous role was also one of his last. He died aged only 55 but his career was long and productive including roles in much loved television programs such as The Saint, The Avengers, Quatermass II and films including the Hammer horrors. His brilliant versatility made him an indispensable character actor, who was able to switch accent and nationality. This biography brings to light Delgado's life from his childhood and early work in banking, his repertory theatre, early television, film roles, and finally his fame as the Doctor's nemesis, when colleagues found a master criminal was played by the kindest man they had ever met. It also shows a private life more complex than previously thought. The biography commemorates the centenary of Delgado's birth in 1918 and looks beyond commonly told anecdotes to tell the story of Delgado's life and career based on painstaking archival research. It features never before seen photographs from the collection of Roger's widow Kismet Delgado and all new interviews with both some of Delgado's most famous co-stars as well as with rarely-interviewed co-stars and directors.

The Second Doctor Who Audio Annual: Multi-Doctor stories Audio CD –


Six more thrilling stories of adventure in Time and Space from the original Doctor Who Annuals.

Larger than life and twice as colourful, from the 1960s to the 1980s the stories within the Doctor Who Annual were exuberant and charmingly naive. Now, in this second audio volume, Peter Purves (Steven), Anneke Wills (Polly), Geoffrey Beevers (the Master), Matthew Waterhouse (Adric) and Nicola Bryant (Peri) read another selection of these colourful and energetic tales, with atmospheric sound design.

In Peril in Mechanistria, the First Doctor finds primitive humans enslaved to machines in a world of metal. The Second Doctor must rescue Ben in The Sour Note, whilst in Scorched Earth the Third Doctor and Sarah are challenged by a virulent virus on Varium III. The Fourth Doctor has Double Trouble after he and his companions return to UNIT HQ, and then the Fifth Doctor and Adric visit a Planet of Fear. Finally, in The Radio Waves, the Master schemes to turn Londoners against politicians and the Royal Family. Can the Sixth Doctor and Peri stop him?

Also included from 1966 is The Equations of Doctor Who, a vintage essay about the mysteries of the Doctor and his TARDIS.

Take a nostalgic journey through time with these vintage Doctor Who tales.
