If the website you are reading this column on is

http://www.gallifreyone.com/thisweek.php , be advised that the conversion of

Outpost Gallifrey to a website solely for the Gallifrey convention in California

is continuing. The easiest way to continue following This Week In Doctor Who is

to use one of the links at the top of the column (the Yahoo Group, the RSS feed

for the Yahoo Group, the Gallifreyan Embassy web mirror). The rec.arts.drwho and

rec.arts.drwho.moderated newsgroups will also still have the column, along with

various places that pick up the RSS feed around the internet. The Doctor Who

News Page http://www.doctorwhonews.com is migrating and regenerating - This Week

will still be there in some form, either as a link to the RSS feed or something

else. But if you use the gallifreyone.com link, you need to be ready to change -

soon. I will continue to supply the column there till the change. But the change

could occur at any time.



This Week In Doctor Who has been proud to be associated with Outpost Gallifrey

in one form or another since July 1998 when this column began. Thanks for all

the glorious years.



With various technical issues, a special on Radio 4 escaped attention. Not

enough time to put it in the body of the column, but BBC Radio 4

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4 had a documentary on the TARGET novelizations. For

decades, nearly every Doctor Who TV story was turned into a book. Often the

books were easier to find than the TV stories. This is the story of those books,

one of the most successful publishing lines around, yet for some reason not

allowed to be reprinted. Available on Radio 4's listen again service until

sometime Tuesday 30 June.



For press releases on Doctor Who, keep an eye on the BBC Press Office
