Issue 1 of Plaything of Sutekh is out now


 
Issue 1 of Plaything of Sutekh is now available.

It includes:-
·      What Did the Sixties Do For Who? – a look at how the Troughton era of Doctor Who reflected the changes facing Britain in the late 60s
·      Frank’s Who – the lasting influence of Frank Bellamy’s Radio Times art on Doctor Who illustration.
·      Secret Who – we re-evaluate a clutch of less popular stories and find there’s more to them than meets the eye: Underworld, The Krotons and The Android Invasion. Don’t be afraid – they’re better than you think.
·      Accidental Art – while Nation and Adams were pulling in opposite directions, Ken Grieve’s innovative approach raised Destiny of the Daleks above the norm.
·      A New Direction? – a look at the evolution of Doctor Who under Steven Moffat
·      DWDVD – recent DVD releases Invasion of the Dinosaurs and The Daemons
·      Return of the King – a look at (or a listen to) Tom Baker’s return as the Doctor in Big Finish audios
… and more

'Plaything of Sutekh' Issue 1 is nearing completion and should be available from a pyramid near you very soon. Our first issue will include a look back at the 2011 series, a look at the way the Troughton era reflected Britain of the late 60s, reviews of underrated stories Underworld, Destiny of the Daleks & The Krotons plus a look at the Doctor Who art of Frank Bellamy. We also review the latest Big Finish audios featuring Tom Baker and current DVD releases. Plus loads more.

More details to be posted here soon. I find that good.
