2006 Updates

30/12/2006

Well, after a Christmas break, we're back with updates, and we've got a whole new section for you.

So we have Throwback The Soul of a Cyberman, The Final Quest, and Deathworld.

9/2/2006

Well, I mucked around with some styles, bringing the light blue homepage sidebars into all the other sections of the site. I've also segmented the updates list into updates by year because the page was getting to be quite a large download for amyone using dial-up. Links are to the left with the new section sidebar the updates page now has. Now if only the year so far didn't look like I've done no work to the site...

I've made some incredibly minor updates to several sections, and I've also put in Valedictorian's review of The Deviant Strain.

22/1/2006

Sorry for the lack of recent material. Real life, panto rehearsals, etc. mean I'm too busy to write much material - except in those spaces of free time where I really need to rest. Anyway, Tom Hey's sent in another in his series of Eighth Doctor reviews - Demontage. As the Panto performances are next weekend, it'll be another week before I start having the time to write some more original material, so advance apologies for the wait.

12/1/2006

Well, I've managed a night in again, and so here's Tom Hey's review of The Taint. I've also started dividing up the reviews area into sections as it's starting to get a fair amount of material. So there's an index for TV Stories and novels.

9/1/2006

Real life's been really busy recently, so I've not had time to add much new material (especially with the time I had to take out to upgrade the forum). However, I have managed to add in some more stuff about Attack of the Graske. Firstly, it's been added to the Doctor's biography. Secondly, I've finally done a Discontinuity Guide.
