Targetting

It's always nice to find the old Target novelisations on second-hand bookshelves! Here's a collection of them that were in a stall in Great Yarmouth:


For some reason The Curse of Peladon seems a little unpopular?!!!

The Doctor investigates technology ban ...

Spotted on BBC Breakfast this morning during an article about gadgets in our lives and could we do without them, taking place at Bournemouth University ... maybe the Doctor sees this as something worth investigating himself!

Bigger on the outside?

Is this a case that - having seen the Daleks suped up with an extension on the back - the TARDIS too is having a revamp?

Fortunately not! This is an endeavour by Brighton & Hove City Council with Brighton & Hove Police and Surrey & Sussex Probation Trust to make improvements at an underground car park in response to concerns from local people about incidents that occur there.

It's been built from an old vending kiosk, and so looks a little "wider" to the usual appearance of the TARDIS!


If you want to deter crime in the neighbourhood, then what would be better than the return of the police box?!!!

Dalek or Jesus?

So is this find a sign of the divine, or actually a sign for the Cult of Skaro?!!!

According to the finder, American Bill Johnson,  "I happened to look down there and I said, ‘That looks like Jesus. It just amazed me'."

Presumably when the Earth got stolen by the Daleks, they simply couldn't be arsed with North Carolina!!!!

... well as it might look in the future, if the Preston Police have anything to do with it!
