You know how it is. Your favourite book series goes belly up or starts printing books that just aren't as good as they used to be. You're stuck re-reading The...
Sounds like rubbish. The least interesting Who spibn-off character of all time in a book series. Even The New Adventures of Adric would be better than...

I'm a huge Iris fan so I'm really excited about this. I have high hopes that this will fill the void left by the 8th Doctor novels. Not that Iris isn't capable...
As technically an adaptation of Terry Nation's novel, the new TV show is clearly on-topic here, so... thoughts, people? I have to admit I lost interest after...
... The second episode was a bit better, in that it had a story, which the first one didn't. It wasn't much of a story. Other, less glossy and insubstantial,...
... Oh, I get it now. You think I was making a reference to Dr Who when I said "too many BBC shows these days". I was actually thinking about other shows like...
... Yeah, pretty much. It was a disappointment. I came to it with a really open mind wanting to like it (Survivors being my all time fave genre TV show) but it...
... I don't think it's that bad. I actually preferred the first episode to the second, perhaps because it had a bit more room to explore what it was saying. I...
... Surely that's not possible. And I say that as someone who read 'Sleepers of Mars'. ... I admit that in parts it does feel a bit "so what" - Flood suffered...

... I'm not sure I follow this line of reasoning. It is a drama serial - each episode isn't designed to be a complete self-contained story. I would also argue...

... Yes. Sleepers of Mars is a sequel to Stowaway to Mars. There's a 4th novel by him writing as Benyon, too... damned if I can remember it... my LibraryThing...
... Well, no, but you'd expect that in ninety minutes there'd be some kind of story-shape, at least. Whereas... ... ... that's exactly wehat I meant. The whole...
