The Night Maze
Submitted by Jessica Smiler
Excerpt from a novel, The Night Maze by Annie Dalton (1989):
'At night it - it was like Doctor Who or something. As if all
the old rules of time or space didn't mean anything once you were in here.
There was music and voices and visions - a weird kind of procession through
time. It was like a dream. But I know it wasn't one, honestly.'

Cats and Doctor Who
Submitted by Fleur Hardman
Excerpt from an article, Does Your Cat Watch TV? by Jane Kelly, in the New
Zealand Woman's Weekly, 30 December 1991:
It seems many cats have "square eyes"... Roger Mugford adds
philosophically: "It's better for a cat to be stuck at home in front of the
telly, rather than out getting into a traffic accident." Amen to that, and for
the first time since the end of Dr Who someone has come up with a good reason
for having a telly.
