Memories, Collections and Recollections, by Tim Harris This is Page 1 ( Go to Page 2 ) Most of the contents of this page first posted to the internet Sunday 6th June 2010 but this page itself first posted Sunday 10th June 2012. Mildly updated Wednesday 18th June 2014. |
These pages indulge my feelings of nostalgia for ephemera relating to Doctor Who.
Above: Radio Times Special 1973, a page from that special, Radio Times Special 1983, Doctor Who Weekly No. 1 from October 1979
 |
Left: the cover to the Doctor Who Winter Special from 1981 This was an epoch making, ground breaking issue as it was the first time (to my knowledge anyway) that it was reported that over 100 episodes of Doctor Who were missing / wiped from the BBC archives. Thankfully some of those episodes have since been recovered but many still remain lost, at least for now. Reading this magazine at the time, one felt shock that so many classic episodes had been so callously discarded but it is with thanks to that magazine that the truth started to come out. |

Above (L to R): 'Skaro', the first Doctor Who fanzine I ever read; 'Capitol Spires No. 1, 1993', the last fanzine I ever read because, simply, times had moved on, the professionals had moved in, and the age of fanzines was over. Also above, two editions of 'Sci-Fi Times' from the 1980s, which had boasted artwork by Tim Dodgson and Terry Doyle. |
Above: 1960s collector's book to place story cards in, and a sample page from the book.

Left and below: cards from the Doctor Who Trump Card Game. I used to play these kind of games all the time as a kid so was very excited to see this pack of cards in the shop one day. This turned to disappointment when I opened the pack and saw the contents: historical figures were included amongst the cards and I couldn't get the point. I wanted more monsters. The art work was adequate rather than great too (photos would have been preferable). Subsequently, this was the only Trump game I had but never played, though I've kept this set of cards whilst having departed with those I did play with at the time. |
