2013 marks the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, the longest-running science fiction series in the world; the first episode was broadcast on 23 November 1963 · Each of the Eleven Doctors is featured in the set of 11 stamps depicting the actors who played the role over the last five decades · Fans can pre-order […]
This one blew my mind, UK Toy distributor Jotastar (who sold a lot of AHI stuff in the UK) plastered the Blake’s Seven logo on some unrelated friction space ships in the early 1980s. They have no relation to the program but I must admit I want them. For those not in the know, Blake’s […]
TOTALLY TRUE STORY: When i was 15 years old I found a copy of this game at a “Toys and Wheels” store at the mall in Canada. I don’t know how it got there but this store used to buy a lot of close out stock like Action Jackson uniforms and the like so maybe […]
I was gifted this book sight unseen by my pal Andy, who told me it was perfect for the site. I was skeptical, that is until I opened it. It’s the perfect combination of nerdy fan love mixed with fashion mockery. There is as much to mock as there is to absolutely love in this sweet […]
Two of my favourite things together at last! If you needed a reminder that Doctor Who’s popularity is nothing new, then I present the haunting visage of Tom Baker on ….cans of baked beans.

It’s time once again for my fake awards show dedicated to what I feel is retro goodness of the past year. All in all, 2011 was a tremendous year for this kind of commerce, so there was lots to choose from. I’ve also got some news on the book projects and changes to the site […]
‘Doctor Who Press Out Book” by World It’s been entirely too long since I did a colouring book theatre, this is mostly due to laziness as I’ve actually got some material kicking around. This fine book was gifted to me by Ray Miller, who runs the cool Micronauts fan group Micropolis Embassy. The punch outs […]
Oh how I would have enjoyed such a toy as a lad. Doctor Who was on twice a week at 7:30 growing up and it had a big effect on me (having limited channels as a boy, I was pretty much spoon fed BBC shows via TVO) but the lack of merchandise was always disappointing […]
In the late 1970s a British Phenomen made it’s way stateside via syndicated package from Time Life, originally offering the first seasons of Fourth Doctor Tom Baker and the rest is cult TV history. This beautiful piece not only has to sell the long running series to an American market but also explain it, which […]
While I have a new batch of colouring books on the way, they’re not here yet so let’s phone it in and do a clip show citing the highs and lows of reviewing materials for no real good reason. Grab your crayons and follow me after the jump: Most Cringeworthy Hands down, the winner would […]
