On the sixty-seventh edition of
Reality Bomb, Graeme Burk asks the question “Why do conventions
fail?” and Ly Cao, Jeff Elston and Jim Sangster discuss the
logistical, economic and general reasons that have caused many cons
lately to cancel at the last minute. Also a new book, Bookwyrm: An
Unauthorised & Unconventional Guide to the Doctor Who Novels Volume
1, looks back on the Doctor Who New Adventures novels of the 1990s
and its authors Robert Smith? and Anthony Wilson are here to talk
about the days, long ago in an English winter, when Doctor Who was
only to be found in prose. And Concorde crash lands in Jurassic
England and author Jenny Colgan is on the spot talking about
Time-Flight in the Gallery of the Underrated. All this plus
Listeners Letters with Joy Piedmont, and the latest superhero
sequel featuring an all-too familiar villain.
