Whovember 18: 1997 to 1999

This is exciting, as today we get to look at some actual televised Doctor Who from the era, and also it’s the first time in this list I’m going to be talking about a very influential strand of spin off media, the Doctor Who Magazine comic strip.  Again, I’m going to be talking in reverse order about these years, to allow for some spoiler space, so let’s dig into the first TV episode of Doctor Who by Steve Moffat…

Whovember 17: 1995 to 1997

Today we’re covering an interesting time in fandom, as these years include the TV Movie being broadcast.  I won’t be covering it in here, but I will be talking about plenty of Eighth Doctor stuff later on.  I’ll just say that the TV Movie’s biggest mistake was trying to have so much of the show’s “lore” in the plot, as Who has never been about that, and it makes the film a terrible place for a new viewer to start, something that should have been the main goal.  Still, there is a lot to like in there, and it did lead to an interesting new age of Who spin-off fiction; speaking of…

We’re covering Who’s Thirtieth Anniversary year this time, which means we’re past the halfway mark!  Let’s jump on into another New Adventure, and then tune in to Radio 2…

Whovember 14: 1989 to 1991

 A major turning point, we are into The Wilderness Years, so as such, I think it appropriate to set my stall out early…

Whovember Part 13: 1987 to 1989

We’re coming to the end of Classic Who, there’s only one more small bit to cover after today before the end of the series, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves, let’s look at today’s choices.

Whovember Part 12: 1985 to 1987

We’re finally past my birthday, from this point on it’s Who from the time when I existed on this Earth.  So today I’m looking at the best story of the Trial of a Time Lord season, and then the dawn of the final era for classic Who.
