Who Interview
I've just been told that the interview I did with the authors of The Greatest Show in the Galaxy: The Discerning Fan's Guide to Doctor Who for Kaleidotrope a while back is now available from Marc Schuster, one of the authors. The easiest way to read it, should you be interested in such a thing, is to click on the "fullscreen" button on the left. They've added some fun pictures to it, too!

That's very cool! I really happy with the results of your interview in Kaleidotrope, and I'm glad to see it live on. The color photos are a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to do, so thanks for suggesting it and setting it up!
ReplyDeleteSo, which one is your favorite Doctor?
ReplyDeleteColin Baker, isn't it? ;)
ReplyDeleteI'd say Number Four. Or Five. Or Seven. Or Eight. Or Nine. Or... Oh, hell. To quote the Brigadier: "Wonderful chap, all of them!"
ReplyDeleteEven Colin Baker has really grown on me over the years. :)
Well worth reading, even if the technology made that difficult. (There seemed to be a choice obly of too small or too large text.) But as far as I could see, you haven't been given a credit. :(
ReplyDeleteSchuster suggested the fullscreen reading, and I found that worked very nicely for me. But maybe you have a bigger monitor than I do.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm credited at the bottom of the first page.
The print version is still available incidentally...
ReplyDeleteAnd it has very readably sized text. :)
ReplyDeleteRereading what I wrote, it comes across as snarkier than I intended. So I ought to add that the book's two authors come across as being very sound when it comes to "Doctor Who". :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't think you were too snarky. It is kind of an odd interface.
ReplyDeleteAs for the authors, well, some of the ideas they expressed in the book I agreed with, and some I really didn't but they definitely know their subject well enough to write about it. :)
Marc Schuster had a neat cartoon in issue #3 of Kaleidotrope, and he'd listed the Doctor Who book among his credits. Naturally enough I thought, "Who do I know who's a discerning fan of that series...?" I'd already convinced Betty to write what I think is a really great essay on the show -- I know it's certainly helped me get more into old-school Who -- and it seemed like a natural fit. I think the interview turned out really well, and I'm glad to see it get read by more people.
ReplyDelete"Who do I know who's a discerning fan of that series...?"
ReplyDeleteAww, that's flattering. :)
I know it's certainly helped me get more into old-school Who
Mission accomplished! :)
I'm at the point now where I'm buying VHS tapes on eBay.
ReplyDeleteYeah, my work here is done. ;)
