I admit to not being a huge fan of the design. It's a bit all over the place. Also the artwork makes PP look much older than the real studio image shows. (And the artwork doesn't look like him either imo! )

Oh, good, it's not just me who thought that.
I *did* once write a story in which Peter Purves, not Steven, travelled with the Doctor, and (as in the Blue Peter annuals) he knows Paddington Bear well. When the Daleks turned up Paddington gave him one of his trademark 'hard stares' - to reveal he was the Master all along!

You are so lucky that Stevo was recalled to Skaro, there would have been much Ex-Cite-Ment at this news!
(I'll do my best to supply it )

Looking at the story descriptions I'm really excited for this, I'm not a fan of the daleks being used, I'm still very excited to see this.
Stories 2 and 3 in particular sound fascinating.

When Obverse adapted the Morbius/Timeless Doctor for print, they went with a general “what if they were real stories from the years before Hartnell played the Doctor (so you got a 40s era “spy thriller/allied propaganda ish Doctor, a 50s Doctor who refers to Piltdown man as a real thing etc) which I think was a novel approach. Having “The Dead Planet” being the first time the Doctor EVER encountered Daleks works better IMO then “ohh yeah, the Doctor has forgotten them too…”

Having “The Dead Planet” being the first time the Doctor EVER encountered Daleks works better IMO then “ohh yeah, the Doctor has forgotten them too…” I know I'm not the only fan who likes Jo Martin's Doctor very much and yet disliked the 'timeless child' idea very very much! So I'm also not the only fan who chooses to head-canon the Fugitive Doctor as from somewhere in 6B, quite possibly thanks to Raven's manipulation. So William Hartnell really did play The Original, and yes The Dead Planet genuinely is his first encounter with Daleks.
I'm looking forward to the BF Fugitive Doctor stories but if they insist on going over the 'timeless child' stuff instead of just telling great stories with an excellent Doctor, I'm off!
