Chapter Five is up!!! More good news: the whole thing is written! I will be updating at LEAST once a week but it *might* happen faster. Ch6 is the end, Ch7 is the epilogue, and I’m probably gonna post a Ch8 post-script of just image references and drawings and music and my own headcanons written in sloppy bullet points for anyone who cares, LOL.
Chapter Five: In which they are stuck on a boat for a week and conversations get heated.
The Space Cossacks >>>>>> Tsar Wars
The [Geoff Love] rendition of the Doctor Who theme is like the pulsating, thrilling, technicolour cinematic version that the Seventies failed to bring us.
Many years later, in 2011, when I was writing Doctor Who stories for AudioGo I played this version of the theme to myself, to get me in the mood for a day’s recording near Charlotte Street in Soho. I sat outside a Greek café at eight in the morning, anticipating a day in studio creating a story I’d cheekily called ‘Tsar Wars’ – a kind of retelling of ‘Nicholas and Alexandra’ set in 1970s outer space.
We had a rather large cast arriving at about nine o’clock. I was there early, eating a bacon sandwich, sipping frothy coffee, enjoying the sun sliding over the canyons of Fitzrovia. The Geoff Love Dr Who theme was playing loudly and … at that very moment Tom Baker came galumphing round the corner. He was swinging a bag of cakes and sweets he was bringing to share with everyone at the recording.
It was a completely magical moment. There was no one else there on the street. He noticed me and gave a jaunty wave. And that moment became one of my favourites of all time: set to the tune of that disco-era Doctor Who.
