(SH) Victor is off this month watering his new plants in Glasgow, so I'm joined by a guest. Who you may ask? It's only Paul Driscoll, AKA The Drisk, that's who. Paul's encyclopedic knowledge of gaming has put him in good stead to found the University Of Reet Good Gaming in Central Birmingham. 1000s of students from all across Bartley Green have flocked to the university to listen to Mr. Drisk do some spiel about ancient pixel history and to be learnt right up. Apologies folks: some, if not all, of that last paragraph may contain factual discrepancies, inconsistencies, and downright lies. I get carried away sometimes. But Paul IS on the show though. So get listening, b!tches!

The award-winning Black Archive is a bi-monthly series of independently-published book-length looks at Doctor Who stories - and they've featured both of the Eighth Doctor's outings on TV. In Doctor Who (1996) Paul Driscoll looks at the Paul McGann TV movie as a functional series pilot, as a reinvention of the Doctor and of the 20th-century Doctor Who formula, and as a ‘bridge' to the 21st-century revival, while James Cooray Smith examines seven exceptional minutes of Doctor Who, suggesting The Night of the Doctor is a revisionist return to Doctor Who's past, typical of showrunner Steven Moffat, and a televisual coup despite its online release. Kenny meets range editor Stuart Douglas, and later, Kenny and Becca discuss their love of a good critical study. You can find out more about these two books from http://obversebooks.co.uk/theblackarchive/eighth/.
