    Hello Tim.

    Before I comment on your review on ‘Once, Upon Time’ later today, I wanted to say that I have finished ‘The Stockbridge Terror’ and will now share my thoughts on it.

    I found ‘The Stockbridge Terror’ to be a great read. I was able to follow what was going despite never having any past experience of Stockbridge. There was tension throughout especially when the Doctor, Nyssa, Billy, Andrew and Max were up against the Sontarans. I liked your use of Sontaran and Althracian technology as well as Time-Lord mind-control. I’m also enjoying the blossoming relationship between Nyssa and Billy.

    I hope to get around to listening to ‘Circular Time’ and ‘The Stockbridge Trilogy’ next year. Are the Stockbridge set comic books freely available?

    My fanfictions are going ok. I still need to finish writing the 7th chapter of ‘Four Time-Travellers and a Baby’. The 8th chapter will be the last. I hope you’ve been enjoying it so far and I hope you’ll enjoy ‘The Con of Death’ when you get around to it. I’ve been thinking of writing my own fanfictions featuring Nyssa and Billy now that I’ve gotten to know their relationship better. I’ll tell you more of my plan towards the end of this month.

    Take care, WF92.

      Hi WF92,

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts on ‘The Stockbridge Terror’. Very pleased you enjoyed the six-part adventure. I enjoyed writing it. Glad you enjoyed the tension when the Doctor, Nyssa, Billy, Max and Andrew were up against the Sontarans. I’m pleased you like how the Sontaran and Althracian technology was used as well as the Time Lord mind-control. I’m glad you’re enjoying how Nyssa and Billy’s relationship is blossoming so far.

      I hope you’ll enjoy ‘Circular Time’ and ‘The Stockbridge Trilogy’ when you get to hear them sometime. The Stockbridge comic stories with the Fifth Doctor are in ‘The Tides of Time’ graphic novel and are currently available on Amazon.co.uk in paperback. I’m enjoying ‘Four Time-Travellers and a Baby’ so far. I believe I’m on Chapter 5 at the moment. Hope to read some more. Oh that’s interesting. I look forward to what plans you have in mind for stories featuring Nyssa and Billy in future. Many thanks!

      Look forward to hearing from you soon on ‘Once, Upon Time’ and ‘Village of the Angels’ in ‘Flux’.

      Tim 🙂
