Editor’s Note

Wow it doesn’t seem like a month since I wrote the last one of these!  How time flies.

This month was full of discoveries and a learning curve.  I learned a bit more about Mary Shelley and her ‘Frankenstein’ novel and was able to use that to compare it with Ianto and his metal girlfriend Lisa. I learnt an awful lot more about the Daleks and how much they’ve changed over the years. And I learnt also that as much as I knew that Steven Moffat had written ‘The Empty Child’ that the character of Captain Jack Harkness, who appeared in that episode does not belong to him, but does in fact belong to Russell T Davies which then led me to realise that that was possibly the reason behind Jack not being included in the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who.  Hmmm!

This month has been exceptionally busy.  We never expected it to be, but when you start looking into the cyber world you realise you can’t just write about Cyberwoman, you have to look at the complete cyber world in general.  And when you start looking, you can’t stop, and you uncover quite a lot of information, and photos, and fan vids and audios, and one of the most scariest of audios comes from one review this month by Christopher E. Fain, who reviewed ‘Spare Parts’, which delves into the story of Mondas, Earth’s twin planet. 

And when you think delving into the cyberworld was bad enough, I delved into the Dalek world of Skaro and realised that I couldn’t bog you down with what I’d found in one complete article, it had to be spread over quite a few.  It’s unbelievable the amount of changes in the Daleks over the years, the varying colours and what they symbolise.  I always had an idea over them but not to the extent by which I researched.  It’s quite shocking really!

This month also saw me visiting my first ever Convention at Braehead Arena in Glasgow.  It was a Collectormania event and amongst the stars were Robert Englund, Lance Henrikssen, Jeremy Bulloch, Harry Melling, Dave Prowse and Eve Myles, whom I’d come to see above all others, plus a handful of others I can’t quite bring to mind.

I had my interview with Eve, and I felt that same dry mouth feeling I’d had when I’d interviewed Dillon Casey, and as I recall the same problems with the voice recorder.  Still all worked out in the end.  I can’t wait to go to another one!

We’ve been updating the site recently (2018) and realised that some of the old links were a little out of date, and we were a little naïve to begin with when it came to putting the website Issues together at the time. Now with five years under our belt, we’re finally updating – albeit a slow process.

Welcome to Issue 5 – Cyberwoman
