To my wife, Randy
When a BBC producer is a 142 year old (or does it just feel like that?), he regenerated and turns into an Executive Producer, or so they say; and then people from all over the world write and ask him questions; and he gets the answers wrong...
May contain spoilers
Some of the concepts - the Planet Karn, the psychic battle between the Doctor and the Master of Karn, etc. - were later used by Terrance Dicks in the story The Brain of Morbius (4K).

Cailleach: Very real Druidic goddess, alias of alien criminal, CESSAIR of DIPLOS (5C).
Caleb: Warrior of the SEVATEEM who became leader after the death of Andor (4Q).

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
