A guest post this week, from the brilliant Graeme Burk, whose remarkable Sydney Newman book can be bought here and also at less evil places.

Jim’s Psychic Paper on The Seeds of Death from last year, and his own nostalgia for that story as his first purchase of Doctor Who on VHS, reminded me that The Seeds of Death was my own first purchased Doctor Who VHS – though in very different circumstances.

I not only live on a different continent to James, I’m also older than him by about a decade. I was 20 when The Seeds of Death came out… in 1990 in Canada.
