Blame Combom for this.

Edge Of Darkness DVD Report

Not Sci-Fi, but essential 1985 cult TV! Edge Of Darkness is a mixture of crime drama and political thriller, about policeman Ronald Craven (Bob Peck) trying to find the truth behind the murder of his daughter Emma (Joanne Whalley). Cravens investigations soon lead him into a murky world of government and corporate cover-ups and nuclear espionage, pitting him against dark forces that threaten the future of life on Earth.

Edge Of Darkness was first broadcast on BBC2, and was met with such widespread critical acclaim that within days it had earned a repeat on BBC1, now that rarely happend then, although next day repeats are commonplace now! I watched both transmissions, it truly is worth it!

You can read about it here and here.

You can buy this from Amazon for £3.97 delivered ATM, and is well worth it!

Daleks For Series 6? Doctor Who

While speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Steven Moffat told the audience that whilst work hasn’t yet finished on the 2011 series, there was no plans to bring back the Daleks for this outing.

We know Moffatt is a terrible liar, so a worst case scenario is they are in every episode lol, but perhaps they are having a rest for next season, then again, the Dalek models exist, so its cheaper to make a Dalek story than make new monsters, I for one am expecting to see them in some way!

Doctor Who Spinoff Bernice Summerfield Animated Adventure — "Dead and Buried"

Bernice Summerfield has joined the Doctor on any number of adventures in the Virgin New Adventures and beyond. Big Finish, which has been releasing audios about the character since 1998, has at last produced its ten-minute-long introduction to Series 11 of Bernice Summerfield.

While Bernice waits to see what Braxiatel is planning, she's getting back to her roots - investigating the site of a previously undiscovered civilization. It isn't long however, before she's being pursued through the ruins by an implacable foe. On her own, light-years from rescue, she must rely on her wits to survive and discover who wants her dead and buried.

This prelude to Series 11 is a fully animated adventure comparable to Dreamland, only much shorter and with a more clichéd ending. But "Dead and Buried" will delight fans of Bernice Summerfield, and those who haven't yet seen or heard her in action can find out what the series is like. You can also download the full video and wallpapers for no charge, and keep a lookout for Bernice Summerfield audios.

Classic Doctor Who In A Classic Radio Times (14-10-1978)

(Click for Larger Image)

Here is the Doctor Who page from Saturday 14th of October 1978, of the Radio Times. You can see what was on before and after and around Doctor Who!

Teatime starts at 5.10 with the news and weather, then at 5.20 its local news (Northern Ireland for this Radio Times printing), followed at 5.25 with Noel Edmonds Lucky Numbers, a gameshow anyone could enter, with their phone number, which was a great idea, but pants if like us, and a lot of the country, you had no telephone! This idea would probably work well today now most people have one!

At 6.20 its Dr Who with part 3 of The Pirate Planet, more about it here.

BBC 2 has the classic Spike Milligan movie Postmans Knock at 3.05, followed at 4.30 by Horizon, a program about Railways in France. Loony David Vine presents Play Sport at 5.25, followed by Network at 5.50, a program about Social Workers.

A huge thanx to Mark Breen for supplying this page (his blog is here). If YOU can help with classic Doctor Who in the Radio Times, like this one, any classic who year, please let me know!

If you repost this, please remember to include Marks name and my URL, although I'd rather you linked me instead. Thanx.

Just had a look, I still have over 45 more pages in the collection to use, and there are a lot more of the same here.
