NEW TO WHO and the HORROR OF FANG ROCK Off a remote rocky island a few miles off the Channel coast stands the New To Who lighthouses. There have always been tales of the three beasts of New To Who, but when the Tardis lands here with Leela and the Doctor, the force they must deal with is more sinister and deadly than the mythical beasts of the past.

NEW TO WHO - LOGOPOLIS In theory Dan and Steven should be able to change †heir appearance to blend in unobtrusively wherever they happen to materialise. In practice, however, because of a fault in the chameleon circuit, they always look like a police box - a minor inconvenience the they now hope to correct. Fixing the mechanism involves a visit to Perth and a trip to the planet Logopolis - normally a quiet little place that keeps itself to itself. But on this occasion the meddling presence of Col ensures the disruption of normality. And even Col is horrified by the threat of total chaos he uni ..read more
