  • A minor update. I've added an index for issues 100-130 of DWB on the Downloads page, and updated the Book Checklist.
13 September, 2003
  • A complete listing to what is hopefully every single script book, novelisation, original novel, photonovel or anthology based on a USA sci-fi series :-)

    There are also a number of oddities, such as the Night Stalker novel which was only published after the TV movie was made, and several anthologies made up of stories that were adapted for The Night Gallery, Tales from the Darkside and The Twilight Zone.

    At present there are very few editions listed that were published outside of the USA and UK. It goes without saying that checking library catalogues is going to take a great deal of time, so I'll be adding details as and when I find them.

    As ever, major thanks to Stephen Barker who's been scouring the listings for errors and has pointed out a number of books based on series I'd never even heard of!!!
  • Introduction pages added for Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased), Red Dwarf and Star Cops.

1 August, 2003
  • News / New Releases / Forthcoming Releases updated.
  • Doctor Who pages updated with the August releases. The Doctor Who books checklist on the Downloads page been updated, as well as the Doctor Who Magazine archives checklist.
  • Cover scan added for a 1976 reprint of the Pattern Books release of A for Andromeda.
  • Cover scan added for the hardback edition of the Supernatural anthology.
  • Cover scan added for the incredibly rare Stranger from Space.
  • Cover scan added for the Avon Books edition of The War Game.
  • The new US section now just needs an introductory paragraph for each of the series covered — expect to see it online next week. If you want to see what it will cover, click here.
1 July, 2003
  • News / New Releases / Forthcoming Releases updated.
  • Doctor Who pages updated with the July releases. The checklist on the Downloads page has also been updated.
  • The new US section is still on target for a mid-July appearance, but that really depends on whether I can finish the Star Trek listings and retain my sanity...
10 June, 2003
  • Just a quick update to mention that I've just uploaded the front page for a new website — provisionally titled The Telefantasy Times. It'll be used for noting broadcast details of UK telefantasy shows and also for pointing out new runs of US shows, mini-series and related TV movies. Should be fairly useful for those of you that never find out about a programme until 24hrs after the event ;-)

  • News / New Releases / Forthcoming Releases updated.
  • As mentioned last month, the new section devoted to books based on US series will now go online in July, probably in the middle of the month. Click here for a sneak preview of what you can expect to see.
  • Doctor Who pages updated with the June releases. The section has also been massively expanded, and now includes details of stories novelised, publication details and companions featured in each story. I've used the same template for entries that I've created for the forthcoming USA section.
  • Introductory page added for A for Andromeda / The Andromeda Breakthrough pages.
  • Modifications made to page layouts and improved navigation.
10 May, 2003
  • Next month's USA update will be delayed until July due to major PC problems.
  • Updated the Doctor Who Magazine Archive Index on the Downloads page.

  • Having only just upgraded to Internet Explorer 6 I've discovered a number of places where the layout appears a little unusual. Anyone who's wondered why various pages had centered text should probably check again! I've also edited the overLIB javascript code for the episode popups so they display correctly as well.
  • Links page updated with a link to the excellent Memorable TV site.
  • Revised introduction pages for The Avengers and Blake's 7

  • Firstly, a big round of applause to Stephen Barker (king of the tie-in collectors), Anthony Forth and Andrew Screen (Action TV website supremo) for providing feedback and spotting the mistakes in the recent revamp — much appreciated guys :-)
  • News / New Releases / Forthcoming Releases updated.
  • Downloads page added. After a number of requests I've run up some PDF checklists for all the books on the site. As an added bonus I've also uploaded a PDF index to the Archive feature which appears in Doctor Who Magazine.
