Reactions and Reviews
Panopticon 5 reviewed by Thomas Doran
Thomas describes the event which took place in Birmingham, the first outside of London and very successful event it was too. Episodes to see at the event were 'Prisoners Of Conciergerie', episode six of THE REIGN OF TERROR and THE DALEKS being shown over the weekend between interviews with: Terrance Dicks - who discussed the changes he had made to 'Meglos' for its novalisation, John Nathan Turner; Fiona Cumming and Peter Grimwade, explaining why The Master was disguised as Kaled ( yep, we still don't know! ); Peter Davison also graced the stage as did Douglas Camfield.
"after lunch while chatting with other attendees later on, I heard strong rumours that Jon Pertwee was going to come, I looked forward to the rest of the day with even more enthusiasm..." noted the reviewer.
Other interviews were conducted with Nicholas Courtney and John Levene followed by the showing of the video ' Jon Pertwee Extraordinare' ; "my earlier hopes were confirmed. Pertwee made his way up the isle admist the most authusiastic applause of the weekend. he strolled up to the interview desk and exclaimed in a booming voice 'I AM THE DOCTOR!' " Thomas ends his review with the idea that the event should be held every other year in London thus giving others outside of the City a chance to attend at various locations around the country.
An interview with Anthony Ainley: He ( Anthony Ainley ) worked with Geoffrey Beavers on THE KEEPER OF TRAKEN: Has he ever met or worked with the Master's other tv incarnations - Roger Delgado or Peter Pratt? "No, but I once sat next to Roger Delgado in a pub. We didn't know each other - I remember he was explaining VAT to a friend!"
THE GOLDEN YEARS - a retrospective look at the sixties
WHAT HAPPENED AFTER - Following the showing of THE THREE DOCTORS and CARNIVAL OF MONSTERS as part of THE FIVE FACES OF DOCTOR WHO, Robert Cook jogs the memory about the stories that had originally followed them in 1973.
PHOTO SPECIAL- EARTHSHOCK A series of screen pictures from the story.
DOCTOR WHO- CRYSTALS IN THE SNOW A picture strip adventure written and superbly drawn by Thomas Doran featuring the original Tardis crew.
TARGET REAISSANCE - retrospective look at the Target Book range of Doctor Who novels which were hugely critisised for being very poor in quality and here discusses the use of the original tv authors putting pen to paper and novelising their own material for publication.
With a selection of newspaper cuttings reproduced from the 60's and 70's and a superb cover by Thomas Doran, DYNATROPE looked very promising indeed! [1]
