The Doctor Who Collectors’s Podcast

Episode 81: It Belongs in a Museum with Neil Cole

On today's show we talk with Neil Cole, the curator and founder of the Museum of Classic Sci-Fi in Northumberland (UK). We talk about his museum, his collection, and his new book "It Belongs in a Museum." This was a great conversation!  This along with My Time and the Most outrageous Offer!  Keep Collecting!

Episode 80: Classic Hardcovers of 1985 with Tony Whitt

On today's show we explore the WH Allen hardcovers published and sold in 1985! 13 books with one reprinted book. This would be the last time a hardcover in this line would be reprinted and we can't figure out why?  Why were only 1st edition "Two Doctors" target books sent to the US and not available in the UK?  The hardcover run will end in the middle of 1988 so how are sales?  US distribution happened for most of these titles affecting their value.  Tony Whitt, the host of the Doctor Who Target Book Club Podcast, offers insight into the actual novel of the story.  Join us on this continuing adventure!  We also have My Time and The Most Outrageous offer!
