A Doctor Who Emporium and Erstwhile Boutique of Nonsense and Ramblings about Daleks, the TARDIS and Other Stuff.

Well, series 5, or 31 if you prefer, was, in my opinion, one of the greatest complete seasons in the history of the show. The only episodes which I thought were weak links were Victory of the Daleks (not least because of the new Dalek design) and the Silurian two-parter which I found neither logical nor engaging. Those aside, it was a tour-de-force of witty writing, thought-provoking ideas, and above all, beautiful story-telling. For particular praise I would single out The Eleventh Hour, Amy's Choice, and Vincent and the Doctor - Three of the finest episodes we've ever been treated to. The season finale was spell-binding, although in my more cynical moments I might questions a few of the underlying principles, plus the ease of the whole resolution, but when stories are told with such wit and style, it's hard not to forgive any flaw. Well done to all involved. The wait til Christmas will be a long one.

	3D Daleks Gallery A showcase of my latest renders featuring New Series Daleks and classic models in exciting environs and unusual encounters.

	3D Daleks Workshop Here's the full collection of Dalek variants I've been tinkering around with since I first started modelling Daleks in 3D in 2004. The library now contains everything from the Dalek Supreme to the AARU Film Daleks.

	Redesigning the Console Room Following the news that the Matt Smith TARDIS interior would be new, and inspired by the Peter Cushing one, I wondered how I would make the TARDIS console room look if I was asked to design it.

	New Series Dalek Model In 2006 I refined my rough 2004 New Series Dalek model in order to produce a series of renders for the series 2 DVD box set.

	Series 5 Daleks - Victory Victory of the Daleks brought a complete redesign of the Daleks for the first time in 47 years, causing something of a stir....

	3D Models of Other Monsters Ice Warriors, Daleks and even the Malevalus from the TV Weekly Comics. I've started modelling things which aren't Daleks!

	Reconstructed Missing Episodes Using 3D computer models I am remaking short scenes from missing Dalek stories and create new CGI effects to stories where the original visuals were lacking.

	Doctor Who Artwork A selection of images covering in acrylic paintings, ink drawings from when I was thirteen, some odd bits of photoshopping and a McGann title sequence which The Mill clearly borrowed ideas from me for their new series titles!

	Early 3D Modelling Dating back to 1997 when I started playing around in 3D, here are a selection of models from - shock horror - TV Shows other than Doctor Who. I know, it's bizarre isn't it.

Eight months in the making - although mostly on 'the back burner' this was an idea I had after rendering a Dalek Supreme in a corridor. What if 'Planet of the Daleks' had been made in the 21st century for the big screen? Here is my movie trailer for this epic story featuring New Series Daleks and a space ship which isn't made from reflective cardboard.

	TARDIS Prop History An exploration of the battered old Blue Telephone Box on TV in its various guises through the decades. 1963 to 2010 and everything in between.

	The Real Police Box But, I hear you screaming from your special padded room, what about the real Police Boxes upon which the glorious time machine was based? Fear not - I've done you some words and found some diagrams.

	Dalek Prop History Created in tandem with Jon from Dalek6388, the web site which first piqued my interest in the long history of prop recycling, this page counts every nut and bolt in Dalek history.

	Interior TARDIS History Pt 1 In an occasional and possibly ongoing exploration of the inside of the time machine, we start with the original TARDIS control room set, and it's adjoining rooms.

	Quick Reference Guide A handy page listing writers, script editors, directors, producers etc, for all Doctor Who stories.

	TARDIS Sounds Effects History This might just have been the article which demonstrated my fannish behaviour had crossed into an area of mental instability, but I found this fascinating to research.

	The Ratings Graph An exciting graph showing the rollercoaster the show had in populatity through the decades. From the peaks of Hartnell and Tom Baker to the troughs of Troughton and McCoy.

	Who was Dr Who for Longest? It depends how you measure it! Tom Baker is the answer, but you could say it's Paul McGann. But then who was second? Tennant, Pertwee, McCoy and Hartnell all have a case...

	Series 5 Production Diary This would have been the ideal reference work for you, if it had arrived from the future and you wanted to stalk Karen Gillan and perhaps kidnap her. Shame on you.

	Sontaran Fact File All you need to know about the potato-headed short-arses. Lots of facts from their debut in The Time Warrior through to the new series.

	Google Earth Locations It does exactly what it says on the tin. Download Google Earth, then you can revisit some good old quarries.
