Another review of "By Your Command vol. 1"

The Review Graveyard's Charles Packer gives it 8/10 and thinks it's the "definitive" guide to original series BSG: "The book remains informative and entertaining throughout, with the authors presenting a very balanced view."

Theatrical Notices

The Fiction Stroker reviews the Robots of Death/Storm Mine stage plays: "With these two plays, you have an ambitious and successful reinterpretation of one of the all-time classic Doctor Who adventures. Robots of Death has been ambitiously reimagined for new and existing audiences. With a witty script and a pacy plot and much of the baggage of the original production removed, Robots of Death is an ambitious and successful re-telling of a classic. As a companion piece and sequel, Storm Mine just edges out Robots for me."

Manchester post-event
