Out On Blue Six has Ten Things I Hate About Who: Number 8 Pointless Merchandise. "Surely all Doctor Who merchandise is pointless, you’re doubtless asking? Well, as undeniably devoid of point as they may have been, ’pointless’ does not here refer to lunatic Doctor Who-branded merchandise of the ’classic’ era such as Build The Tardis, Peter Davison’s Book Of Alien Monsters From Outer Space or the official Target badge..."

Armillary Observations has Defense: The Crusade (1st Doctor)–Acting Greats, Shakespearean Intrigue, Strong Women. The Crusade is riveting Who that you should make time to watch. It’s Episode 14 from the second season of the First Doctor, and a four-parter.

Feeling Listless has The Eighth Doctor: The Year of Intelligent Tigers. "Having enjoyed all of the author’s previous novels, even the highly underrated Seeing I, I’d rather been looking forward to seeing how Orman (and Blum) would tackle the post Earth arc Doctor, with his amnesia and counterfeit confidence. Reviews elsewhere hold the novel in very high regard with words like “masterpiece” thrown around...."

It’s glowing reputation seems to be largely down to the cast and crew, all of whom praise it to the skies at every opportunity, in part because (thanks to extensive location filming in the idyllic English village of Aldbourne) they had such a jolly old time making it....
