Britain, Britain, Britain...




Figured I should come over here and let people know how yesterday went! Tom Baker was in store from 9AM, his second visit to us, and he stayed in store until around half 3.




Tom said he felt younger in Norwich, than he had at home the day before – Perhaps there’s something in the air here? A fountain of youth nearby, perhaps?




Everyone seemed thrilled to meet the Fourth Doctor, who just before leaving stepped outside the shop to face down his deadliest enemies, The Daleks, who were terrorising locals. Looks like Tom decided to have a play, however, using a Dalek’s eye-stalk to make a few long-distance calls to Gallifrey!

Into the Archives!

Hey all, just a quick update from me this week!

Just wanted to let you know that we now have in stock both The Torchwood Archives and also the new Doctor Who Audio The Forever Trap!

The Torchwood Archives, as the back cover tells us, is ‘a guide to Torchwood’. Featuring fantastic photos and artwork, the book chronicles all that is known about the mysterious Torchwood Institute, from its conception in the Victorian era to the present day. The book is filled with fun facts and trivia – and written as though meant for the eyes of Torchwood employees everywhere...




The second original audio adventure – The Forever Trap – read by Catherine Tate. “When the TARDIS is invaded by a holographic marketing scam, the Doctor and Donna find themselves trapped on the Edifice, a purpose-built complex of luxury apartments in space. Their new environs leave much to be desired: millions of beings from across the Universe have been gathered to live side by side in similar apartments. Instead of creating neighbourly affection, it's led to terrible battles being waged in the corridors and on the stairwells. The Doctor and Donna must cross the paths of deadly alien mobs as they search for the Edifice's ultimate authority. Who - or what - lies at the heart of the incredible complex? What destructive scourge is eating away at the Edifice itself? And are the Doctor and Donna trapped forever in this living hell?”

A fantastic follow up to ‘Pest Control’, The Forever Trap is a great listen to all fans of series 4!
