TV If you were lucky enough not to get The Twin Dilemma as your free Target novel with this month's party newsletter and you're a newer fan looking for a decent primer on the world of spin-off fiction, Talk About The Passion offers a two part article (part 1, part 2) describing what you've missed. Sample:
"Despite the fact that some of their poorer offerings would have bored even the average ‘younger reader’ to tears, in the mid-seventies Target decided to have a try at adapting some of their Doctor Who books for an even more youthful, um, target audience. The responsibility for this fell to - you guessed it - Terrance Dicks, who completed ‘Junior’ versions of The Giant Robot and, rather more oddly, the notoriously gothic horror-tinged The Brain Of Morbius, before they realised the range was a non-started and cancelled it."
Found at Out of the Blue Six, who is also carrying the scan of a rather brilliant foreign cover for Morbeus, in which it appears to be have been co-opted by a couple of Billy Zane clones.
