Stephen Greif 1944-2022

We at Magic Bullet are very sorry to hear of the death of Stephen Greif who kindly contributed his insights into the character he created for Travis: The Final Act. Stephen was always a hit at conventions with his stories about his extensive and versatile career on stage and screen.

Twins of Evil: 50 Things About "The Twin Dilemma"

Continuing our tradition of, during the festive season, reviewing the Doctor Who stories which are the wildest, weirdest and most outrageous in the series, we give you 40 Stupid Things About "The Twin Dilemma" (and 10 Cool Ones). There's even a direct festive connection: read on to learn which Doctor Who villain very nearly wound up being named "Aslan".

Chris Boucher (1943-2022)

All of us at Magic Bullet are very sorry to hear of the death this morning of Chris Boucher, co-creator of Kaldor City, writer of Doctor Who: The Face of Evil, The Robots of Death, and The Image of the Fendahl, script editor of Blake's 7; and creative stalwart of many other genres of television. 

Chris was always hugely supportive and we will miss him very much on a personal as well as a professional level.
