Peter Malcolm de Brissac Dickinson OBE

Hurrah! An OBE for novelist and poet Peter Dickinson!

Over the past year or so, I've been working my way through his terrific crime novels (courtesy of gerald) and his extraordinary children's books (with more than a little help from the_wild_iris). BookMooch recently supplied me with his trilogy for teenagers The Changes, which I remember distinctly seeing when it was adapted for television in the mid-Seventies. (According to this site, there may have been repeats 18 months later, but that still puts my age somewhere between 3 and 4-and-a-half, so you can assume it was distinctive and memorable.) I hope this prompts a DVD release.

Doctor Who: season 4

Right, so our Doctor Who rewatch project was derailed slightly by: 1. mraltariel being in the US before Christmas, 2. me having to write a book, and, 3. not wanting the Hartnell era to end. But now we have restarted.
