Friday, 6 January 2017. One of Our Planet 14's is Missing! I've given up on my attempt at the Dr Who 'marathon' and am back to watching whatever story I want to watch in whatever order I jolly well please, and this week I've been watching The Invasion. Has classic Cybermen-in-sewers action, the first proper appearance of UNIT, the debut of the remarkable John Levene, amazing sound effects, Kevin Stoney, aaaaaand one of my all-time favourite bits of Who lore - Planet 14.

Spacey Box: information overload

Lance Parkin's 'A History of the Universe' (various editions). L'officer's 'Terrestrial Index' and 'Universal Databank' (from what I recall, somewhat patchy forerunners to Parkin's book).

Spacey Box: January 2017

Monday, 30 January 2017. The Secret of the Snows. Now this is more like it - a Sexton Blake book in which Sexton Blake actually appears throughout the whole story! And he's got Tinker in tow, no less. It even has a typically cheerful 'wrapping-all-the-loose-ends-up' style final chapter, just in case anybody was wondering what happened to one of the walk-on Eskimos. Saturday, 28 January 2017. I'm a believer in (what I'm beginning to vaguely coalesce into a rough sort of theory I've decided to call) primacy.
