I am proud of the enormous number of character pages I have created. However, my real pride is the uncredited actor pages I have created. Some, like [[Pat Gorman]] and [[Terry Walsh]] (I didn't create their pages), have appeared in so many stories, they deserve to be recognized. | I am proud of the enormous number of character pages I have created.

I collect old Target novelizations and action figures. The first [[Target novelisation|Target novel]] I read was ''Doctor Who - [[Death to the Daleks (novelisation)|Death To the Daleks]]''. My favorite non-''Doctor Who'' writers are Agatha Christie, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Georges Simenon, John Buchanan, PG Wodehouse and Roland Dahl. | I collect old Target novelizations and action figures.

* “The Savages” - One of my most wanted missing episodes. Hartnell has a great speech is episode two, Steven has some good action stuff to do (his taunting of Exorse in the caves is excellent) and Dodo is considerably less annoying than usual. The guest cast is excellent (I single out Frederick Jaeger, Ewen Solon, Peter Thomas and Geoffrey Frederick) and the smashing of the lab sounds great on audio. Ah, if only we had the visuals to go with it. | * “The Savages” - One of my most wanted missing episodes.

* “The War Machines” - Doctor Who’s first shaky steps into the world of the 1960s. “The War Machines” is good, the action scenes are handled well but Episode Four is padded horribly. The sight of William Hartnell in the Inferno Club is a rather disturbing sight. | |||
* “The Smugglers” - One of the lesser historical stories, but it’s still entertaining enough. There’s quite a competent guest cast (Michael Godfrey, Terence de Marney, George A Cooper, Paul Whistun-Jones, John Ringham) and Brian Hayles’ writing is miles better than his work on “The Celestial Toymaker”. | |||
