EXCLUSIVE
LIMITED EDITION COLIN BAKER STAMP
CARD
09.03.2013
Ian
Fraser Photography have released a
limited edition Colin Baker stamp card to
tie in with the Royal Mail Doctor Who
stamps due for release this month.
The card will be an A5 (148mm as 210mm)
double side postcard, high gloss image.
The card will have the 6th Doctor stamp
attached to it but also it will be SIGNED
BY COLIN BAKER on the front and
hand addressed on the back to the owner.
The cards will be posted out in a normal
envelope and will be individually
numbered 1 - 200.
The cost is £15 inclusive of postage and
packing in the UK (overseas orders will
be charged an extra £1).
Menston Green has been running
since 1951. Families have been gathering
around their television sets every night
for almost sixty-two years to catch up
with the residents of IBC1's most famous
village.
But since the death of the show's most
enduring cast member, the ratings have
taken a dive. As a result, Mr Cutler (the
producer) has no choice but to end his
tenure and hand over the reins to the
next generation - a last chance saloon to
breathe new life into television's oldest
soap opera.
Enter new employee Dale Delaney, a
warm-hearted but dim-witted young dreamer
with some unique ideas on TV drama.
Together with his new recruits - Apple
the first-time script writer and Clifford
Bowfinger (creator of IBC1's other smash
hit, Blake's Rebels) - the scene is set
for a reboot of truly galactic
proportions. But not everyone will
survive his vivid reimagining...
COLIN'S
WHO 30
21.02.2013
We haven't forgotten here at
CBO that 2013 is not only the 50th
anniversary of Doctor Who
but also the 30th anniversary of Colin
Baker's involvement starting with his
appearances as Gallfreyan guard Commander
Maxil in Arc Of Infinity.
That same year (1983) also saw the
announcement that he would be assuming
the role of the Sixth Doctor. Can it
really be thirty years ago? Time flies,
especially for a Time Lord. I'm sure you
will all agree that Colin's contribution
to the TV show, audios, conventions and
many other additional projects connected
with the show over the past three decades
has seen him established as a veritable
WHO legend. Congratulations Colin, you
truly are one of Gallifrey's greats.

VOYAGE
TO THE NEW WORLD FOR CHRISTMAS
18.12.2012
Just
a reminder that the Sixth Doctor, Jago
& Litefoot adventure Voyage
To The New World is now
available to download from the Big Finish
official website for just £1 (CD copies
£5). A bargain if ever there was one
Roanoke
Island, 1590.
The TARDIS materializes in the past, and
the Doctor’s companions, Professor
Litefoot and Henry Gordon Jago, find
themselves prisoners of the natives in
the New World.
But there’s something something
strange here – stranger than even
the colonists, led by Englishman John
White.
What are the ghostly children? And who is
the Old Man of Croaton?
The travellers are about to discover the
secret of the lost colony... and it may
cost Jago's life.
Written By: Matthew
Sweet. Directed By: Ken Bentley
Cast: Colin Baker (The
Doctor), Christopher Benjamin (Henry
Gordon Jago), Trevor Baxter (Professor
George Litefoot), Philip Pope (John
White), Ramon Tikaram (Wanchese), Mark
Lockyer (Sir Walter Raleigh), Emerald
