Hello, Wrinklies

Long time no see. Well, I haven't been on for ages simply because I've been extremely busy writing a book! And on 6th December, with any luck you'll see the final results.

OOOOH. A *Wrinkly* book. Very exciting!

Outstanding news, Frank!

I'm assuming if it's on Amazon, that the book can be shipped to buyers in the US?

Worth pointing out that the photos were all taken by a certain scooty...........

What he said.

You can buy it on Amazon. And you can have it shipped internationally direct from the publishers. How's them apples for ya?

Indeed!

Photos in the book courtesy of Alun Vega, Scooty, Mugimoe, Cat Cranston, Rob Clarke...marvellous fellows, all of them! They have been so supportive and it has been great to have them involved.

Aye, well done, Frank. I'll be buying this when I've got a bit more spondoolicks in the fridge.

Missed this before Frank

Well done

Thanks Jenny!

Just putting the finishing touches to the last chapter. A race against time, I can tell you.

Heads up people!

I'm delighted to announce that after serious negotiations over a sweet sherry or two those marvellous people at Classic TV Press and I have decided you might enjoy a book signing for the forthcoming publication of Doctor Who: The Pandorica Opens - Exploring the Worlds of the Eleventh Doctor due 6th December.

And not just one signing, dear readers. Two! Yes, you'll have two opportunities to buy the book and have me scribble all over it. So why not drop by if you're in London or Manchester. You'll all be very welcome. So get your diaries out or set your other time keeping devices for the following dates:

11th December, 1.00-4.00pm @ The Who Shop, 39-41 Barking Road, Upton Park, London. I'll be in the fabulous company of Bob Baker - Doctor Who writer (The Claws of Axos, The Three Doctors etc) and K9 co-creator.

13th December, 6.30-8.00pm @ Blackwell University Bookshop, Precinct Centre, Oxford Road, Manchester

I look forward to to seeing you there. In the meantime you can catch up with me on a recent edition of The Thumbcast nattering about the book and Doctor Who in general.

Bob's a really nice guy, so that makes two of you then.

Aw, shucks. You say the nicest things.

Looking forward to nattering with Mr. Baker. Hope to see some London based Wrinklies popping in to get me autograph!

Oh, knickers.

A quick further update to let you all know that ahead of the publication of 'The Pandorica Opens' book on Monday, there's now a 6-page exclusive excerpt from the book and an interview with me on the Classic TV Press website: http://www.classictvpress.co.uk

Enjoy the excerpt and I hope to see some of you either at the London or Manchester signings.

You blind, trusting fools! Don't listen to the charlatan!

He's reaping the adoration while I did all the actual ghostwriting for one lousy hob-nob and a hat full of empty promises.

Send your money to me!!*

Spoiler:

Sid,
I understand there's a certain question master from a Doctor Who quiz who still wants to smack you upside the head for your heckling. Somehow, I think Frank may want to assist.

Patrick,

I'm sure I have no idea what it is that you're eluding to. So I'll ignore it.

Ghost written for a hob nob? I'm not that cheap!

However, our combined Who knowledge yesterday did save us from the ignominy of being bettered (no, not battered) by David Howe. We was rather pleased by that.

And it seems my review of The Lodger has not impressed one Gareth Roberts and in his twitterings this afternoon I was described as 'this Frank Collins person' (and could clearly see him looking down his nose at me as he tweeted it) and he has probably just gained me several more book sales as a result. Seriously, I really liked The Lodger but obviously my going for the sub-text does not a Doctor Who script-writer please.

Mwwwwahhhaaahhhha! My master plan comes to fruition. Or possibly a cinema near you.

I trust that you have uncovered plenty of lesbian sub-text in series 5 Frank.

Lesbian, gay, Francis Bacon, Peter Pan, Tommy Copper, Tim Burton, Hammer Horror, 9/11, the Con-Lib alliance, Jung, Freud...Uncle Tom Cobley and all. Ooo, I think that's enough to be going on with.
