This only leaves five stories as yet unclaimed - if anyone wants to grab any of the following, shout up before I get to them! The Church and the Crown The Council of Nicaea Renaissance of the Daleks The Burning Prince Goth Opera No takers? In that case, I'll start working through them. I was thinking of reading Goth Opera (just for fun). If I finish before you I'll take a stab at it harry.

I was thinking of reading Goth Opera (just for fun). If I finish before you I'll take a stab at it harry. Eek - sorry, I've been working on that one this week. I'm covering Ruath, Yarven and the vampiric Nyssa. But if there's anything else you feel should be included as you read the book, by all means go for it.

Anyone covering 'The Toy?' Afraid so, quite some time ago. At this point, the only story which either hasn't been claimed by somebody else or which I haven't started work on is The Council of Nicaea - let me know if you want to pick this one up, otherwise I'll probably get to it next week. Unless Siskoid would be happy to hand Divided Loyalties or Warmonger over...

Vampiric Nyssa! 20+ year old spoilers dude! /s   It can't be a spoiler when it's shown in the illustration on the front cover and mentioned in the blurb on the back of the book.

Hence my /s sarcasm tag. I'm really looking forward to this one actually. I wonder if Big Finish will take a shot at creating an audio version of this. Along those lines, when multiple versions of a story exist, Damaged Goods for instance, will the EU sourcebooks have a section for differences between the two mediums?

I am clearly not sufficiently up on my emoticons, as I thought it was expressing annoyance. It depends on whether the subsequent adaptations have changed anything that needs to be noted in a write-up. There's a section in the Pescatons' entry (in the 4th Doctor sourcebook) about the differences between the original audio version and the novelisation, as the Pescatons' stats need to be adjusted depending on which source you use. There's also a brief note on the audio adaptation of Seven Keys to Doomsday in the same volume.

I was thinking of reading Goth Opera (just for fun). Actually, it's worth mentioning that Goth Opera continues the story started in the 7th Doctor novel Blood Harvest. I don't think it's essential, but you'll probably get more from it if you read Blood Harvest first.

I'm kinda embarrassed to nitpick this excellent work with a couple more typos but... On page 56 (and in the ToC) Dr Sa Yy Findecker is spelled "Yi" not "Yy". And in page 55 the damage for the Djinn's ship's self-destruct is specified as 6(12/12/18) should this be 12(6/12/18)? I Also on page 65, Fleet Marshal Stabb, "Marshal" is spelt "Marshall".

Page 4: ToC entry for "Molenski Univirus", should be "Molenski Univarius". Page 55: Heading and stat box have "Dipthoadat", body text has "Dipthodat". The latter is, I believe, correct. Page 77: Stat box has blaster damage listed as 7(5/7/10) which seems wrong by the usual rule of 0.5x/1x/1.5x rounded down; 3/7/10 perhaps? Page 115: Lady Nyssa's stat box has TECH LEVEL: X STORY POINTS: X. Page 144: Heading has "Penenka", body text has "Panenka" Page 144: Last sentence of first paragraph: "But when the planets are out of conjunction, the long trip makes using the comet for haulage practical, meaning lean times for the company that could last several years." Should "practical" be "impractical" given the context?
That's all for now.

All valid comments. I'll add these to my own list of errata that I've spotted and need correction.

I've started work on entries from The Memory Bank and Other Stories, this month's new 5th Doctor release from Big Finish - it's a collection of four 1-part stories so I'll try to find something to include from each of them.

Should we include the stats for the Beatles as an extra in Fanfare for the Commonmen? My write ups for them aren't great, but they're a start if we want to include them

My write ups for them aren't great, but they're a start if we want to include them The Beatles don't actually appear in Fanfare for the Common Men, so it wouldn't be particularly appropriate. If they were to be included anywhere, it would be in the Omitted But Not Forgotten section of the 1st Doctor Sourcebook (because of the clip of them used in The Chase).

There's a 6th (?) Doctor short story where he sits in with them, I think. They could show up there.

Strictly speaking, it doesn't feature Ringo as it's one of the early line-ups, but hey. Alternatively, the 10th Doctor took both Martha and Donna to see the Beatles at the Cavern Club in two separate comic strips.

I mean, I suppose that is technically correct (the best kind of correct), but Farfare is such a Beatles-inspired romp. And in a way the absence of the Beatles is the plot. Tossing them in at the end would be a nod to the correct timeline being restored.

I'm hard at work on the book and thought I'd show my work. drive.google.com/open?id=0B4RRnRNaDS5wZmpWanJ6b2lCdEkStrictly speaking of entries, there are about a dozen Villains made by MrHarry that I haven't finished, nor are Koloth's and my entries ready for publication. Oh and all the Items but one.

I'm aiming for the Addendum to come out for the Holidays, so it might be a good time to tell us if there are any entries you wish had been in the main book or our own extracanonical book and weren't. Obviously, we're covering all stories that have come out since the latter was released (a list follows), but I always like to go back and check on short stories, Doctor Who Annuals, and comics that we skipped first time around, as well as characters in the "Omitted but not forgotten" section. Feel free to ask Santa for something.
