    Do you count "Who Killed Kennedy" as a Virgin Pertwee novel?

    I hadn't thought about it, but I'm willing to consider it.

    i would say go for ghost of n-space, since it is an adaptation of a play that starred pertwee from the mid 90s

    Who Killed Kennedy does seem the obvious candidate given its conceptual similarity to The Time Travellers and World Game.

    You could listen to the original radio versions of Paradise Towers/The Ghosts of N Space in situ.

    Please consider releasing the book as a non-shiny Kindle file.

    Scales of Injustice might give you some material to go over, what with the political thriller elements and the Silurian nonsense. Also I believe it dealt with Liz's departure from the series. It was also released as a free ebook on the BBC website so you should be able to find it online.

    The others are fairly dull. You'd be better off covering the audio release of Ghosts of N Space rather than the book.

    David (et al) – I'm disinclined to do Ghosts of N Space as a book due to, as you all point out, it being an audio first. I'm also disinclined to do it as an audio – having skipped audios for both Hartnell and Troughton, I'm figuring I'll have audios be book features until Davison when the Big Finishes kick in. For no particular reason that I can articulate other than feeling like the original Big Finish line is hugely special, and that Spare Parts deserves to be the first audio adventure covered on the blog itself.

    I will say, however, that I've got a Companion Chronicles story in the Hartnell book, a Troughton audio picked out when I get to that book, and will promise now to do Paradise of Death in the Pertwee book. 🙂

    The original LP release of Doctor Who and The Pescatons was an immensely important artifact, at any rate to a seven year old child who didn't have a copy. It was the first real Doctor Who, with the real actors, to exist outside the television. It was on a par with meeting Tom Baker at the opening of a supermarket. Perhaps it was a "dead end", but no more so than K9 and Company, and I'd be surprised if you didn't cover that.

    The Scales of Injustice, just because it's a Season 7 story (Season 7 being quite different from most of the rest of the Pertwee era, and really most of the rest of Doctor Who…) and has Liz Shaw's departure. Good way to talk about why Liz Shaw didn't get a departure scene.

    Is there any way you can announce the table of contents for the book whenever you get it finalised? I'm curious about what the new entries are.

    Scales of Injustice is pretty good. Can't say I can think of a better 3rd Doctor book.

    Ghosts of N-Space was a BBC radio production and I think its fair game.

    Hi,

    I recently sent an email response to your request for someone to do book covers, but have had no response. Are you still looking?

    If so, you can see my stuff here:

    I don't think I got your e-mail, but I apologize for not replying.

    In any case, I'm afraid I have found a cover artist.

    Hi Philip

    I also recently sent you an email about the book version of TE, but no reply. Just wondering if you got it.

    Cheers
