Doctor Who 50th Anniversary: Timelash





Doctor Who: 
Timelash 
By Glenn McCoy

“Rejection. You can alter Peri's outward appearance, but you can't change the brain in her head. Whatever you do, she will always find you repulsive”

The Doctor and Peri are as usual arguing in the TARDIS about where to go when they appear to have been caught in a time corridor.  The Doctor tries to get them out of it when they see Vena float through the TARDIS.  The TARDIS finally arrives on Karfel which happens to be at one end of the tunnel.   


Karfel is ruled by the Borad who happens to be a human that has been infused with the dna of a Morlock.  The people of Karfel do not know this and believe him to be a human in appearance.  Maylin Tekker lulls The Doctor into false sense of welcome when he in actuality wants him to get the amulet back that Vena took with her when she fell into the Timelash.  The Doctor refuses but eventually agrees when Tekker says if he doesn’t he will have Peri killed.  The Doctor calculates that Vena is in 1885 and ends up in Scotland where he finds here in a cabin of a man named Herbert. The Doctorsprings to action after listening to Vena’s story about what is really going on and with Vena and Herbert head back to Karfel to save Peri and to free the planet from the Borad’s reign.

Synopsis For Big Finish's Blake's 7 Book "Lucifer"


Big Finish is releasing another Blake's 7 book in their book range and this time it is written by Paul Darrow who played Avon in the original series.   You can order it here.

http://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/lucifer---book-and-ebook-741

Many legends surround the aftermath of the collapse of The Federation, including the fate of Kerr Avon...

What happened to Avon after the death of Blake and the crew of the Scorpio? Paul Darrow's vivid re-imagining picks up Avon’s story at the final moments of the final episode of Blake's 7 and follows him on his fight for survival, this time with no crew and no ship to help him.

The adventure continues years later as Avon, now an old man, finds himself a key player in the game of power politics being played out on a grand scale by The Quartet - four ruthless leaders in an uneasy alliance, who govern the world in place of the Federation. Old enemies resurface and dangerous new ones appear as the time comes for old scores to finally be settled...
