Interviews / Profiles

 * Marks out of Ten - Former Doctor Who companion Mark Strickson has spent most of the Nineties away from the UK, having emigrated to Australia at the beginning of the decade. With his recent return to England, Steve Lyons and Chris Howarth spoke to him about his time Down Under and the mysterious Turlough's ten adventures with the Doctor. Additional material from Paul Scoones.
 * The Nick of Time - In the second part of this interview, Nick Courtney and Nick Briggs continue their relaxing afternoon or four. Strangely enough, the conversation turns to Doctor Who, the Brigadier, life, saving the universe...and not an eyepatch in sight.
