Classic interview with director Paul Bernard

This month's selection from the archives is a rare interview from 1989 with the late Paul Bernard, director of three 1970s Doctor Who stories and the first season of The Tomorrow People, offering his insights into directing the Daleks, moving from the BBC to independent television and back again, and what exactly happened at the end of 'Frontier in Space'.

Blood and Chrome

In case you haven't heard-- the long-awaited Battlestar Galactica prequel, Blood and Chrome, is airing as a series of webisodes, starting tomorrow! Details and links here.

50 Things About....

It's been a while since we uploaded an article, but we're making up for it by providing a double length "50 Things About..." covering both "Frontier in Space" and "Planet of the Daleks," with extra socialist philosophers. Enjoy.
