SHOWNOTES

(00:02:55) Aaron A Aardvark, alias Eric Plunket, is a character from the 2000AD strip “Judge Dredd: The Day the Law Died” (Prog 95, 13 Jan 1979). An unremarkable citizen of Mega-City One, he changed his name to Aaron A Aardvark in order to be the first person listed in the phone book. This rather odd ambition proved to be his undoing when the insane Chief Judge Cal began executing the citizenry in alphabetical order. The relevant page can be seen on our Tumblr page here.

(00:07:45) Tim Brooke-Taylor can be seen singing the words to “Girlfriend in a Coma” to the tune of “Tiptoe Through the Tulips” here.

(00:13:25) Our erstwhile Diddly Dum host, The Rev Capt Hullu Porro (a.k.a. Andy) is selling high quality copies of the artwork he painted to accompany our podcast #5 “The Six Ages of Fan”. Each print costs a minimum of £5 (inc. p&p) but you can donate as much as you like. All proceeds will be donated to The Trussell Trust to support their help for the poor and for food banks during the lockdown. You can find links on Andy’s Facebook page to either buy them on eBay or to cut out the middle man by donating direct to The Trussell Trust and dropping Andy a message to let him know your name and address. Andy can also be found on Twitter @skaromedia.

(00:17:02) Andy (The Rev) can also be found showing his unique brand of music on the Facebook group “Captain Coronas Isolation Open Mic Group”.

(00:17:49) #CONtacthasbeenmade will be showing a selection of filmed panels from the Doctor Who Appreciation Society’s first four “Capitol” conventions on their DWASONLINE Youtube channel and Facebook and Instagram sites. These are being run in support of NHS Charities Together and Domestic Abuse Volunteer Support Services and we hope that you’ll be able to donate something while watching the videos.

(0025:20) The Doctor Who Appreciation Society Announces the Return of TARDIS Magazine. TARDIS was one of the earliest Doctor Who Fan magazines (fanzines) and was first published in 1975 by Andrew Johnson. In the summer of 1976 the newly formed ‘Doctor Who Appreciation Society’ took on the publication of the magazine. Over the next few years, TARDIS went from strength to strength. It started as hand duplicated title, soon acquiring ‘photo pages’ which were inserts produced by offset litho. Later on, TARDIS become professionally printed itself, and in 1979 it saw colour for the first time. TARDIS was always supplied as an addition to DWAS membership until it was absorbed into the Society’s newsletter ‘Celestial Toyroom’ in 1987. TARDIS subsequently ceased publication as CT itself moved away from its traditional newsletter format and became a magazine in its own right.

Between April 1997 and December 1998, the Society resurrected TARDIS as a quarterly publication alongside Celestial Toyroom but then retired the title again, with a brief return as a one-off special in 2003 celebrating the sho...
