I know that BBC Worldwide’s new version of Shada is already available, but I’ve tucked it away for now, just in case some of the Christmas telly proves so disappointing that I’ll need extra sustenance. I’m certainly looking forward to seeing Shada. I grew up in Cambridge, and my dad was working at the university when the BBC crew visited in October 1979. He earned a special overtime payment for keeping the public away from Clare College Bridge during filming of the punting sequence and came home that evening with some colourful stories about Tom Baker. I remember this was around the time Doctor Who Weekly launched, so I’m not sure how much more excitement I could have handled.
Steve Cambden’s article on pages 42-44 is particularly evocative. Steve’s picture of Tom and Lalla Ward standing outside the Heffers bookshop on St Andrew’s Street brought back a flood of memories, not because I was there (I imagine I was at school that day) but because that’s the shop I used to visit with my parents to search for Target novelisations. Coming across a picture of Doctor Who standing outside the shop where I bought so many of my Doctor Who books was something of a time-travelling experience in itself.
