Hamster Book Club - The Romans (Redux) by Donald Cotton (featuring James Lark)

What happens when Agent Coyer faces his first experience of The X-Files and comes up against Neanderthal woman?

It's time to bring this piece of art to an end with a celebration of the many positives about the story, the man positives about Scotland, and the man positives about Subbuteo!

Lesson 42! It's time to beat up the Karkus, get trapped in a book and worry about a dollop of foamy spittle at the side of the mouth of a writer of weeklies...

A surprisingly bleak, dystopian world with huge things to say about war, weapons of mass destruction, genocide and scientific responsibility...aimed at children?

One of my favourite single episodes to record, beautiful Glenn reminds us of the joys of finding your tribe within Doctor Who fandom and how enriching it can be to your life...

The story takes a massive diversion into domesticity and science fiction as the Doctor and Amelia attempt to reach Romana in Hyperspace...

When Ruby goes missing in the woods, her mother becomes obsessed that she has been abducted. Scully is sceptical, but Mulder thinks this might be linked to the disappearance of his sister...

Segments, assignments from God, Pirate planets, blood sucking stones, swordplay, giant farting squids and nuclear war! Everything is to play for in this astonishing season of Doctor Who...

Content Warning - reading contains material pertaining to self harm One of us loved this book, one of us hated it and one of us sat squarely in the middle but doesn't ever want to read another Doctor Who book after this. Can Doctor Who tackle mental health sensitively in prose?

The gauntlet has been thrown. A less than favourable episode released on Donald Cotton's books released and James Lark, in a fit of epistolary pique, decides to build a defence for The Romans!
