A Silver Archive on Robin of Sherwood, you say? Don't mind if I do...

For those of a Who bent, this is also how the @blackarchive.co.uks work: the facts of most Who stories have been long established in multiple previous works, but what you're getting is a specific writer's interpretation of those facts (once, one Andrew Hickey obversebooks.co.uk/product/7-th...).

God, I hate Brexit, Farage, Cameron and all the absolute fools who voted for them and it. Crooks, cretins and the terminally gullible. More gifts from the Brexit car crash. taxation-customs.ec.europa.eu/news/guidanc...

Hartnell-tastic post from @obversebooks.co.uk . The one on the right is off to a good start with quotes from Rachel Carson, spotted in the flick through.

Obverse Head (Only) Honcho has a new book out!

PARTY LIKE IT'S 1998 briefly back in stock in paperback after I found a box in my mother-in-law's attic, Ice-Warriors-in-a-cupboard style. obversebooks.co.uk/product/part...

No form of AI is used in any book published by Obverse, I should probably add, since that might make it look as though it's only the Black Archive :-)

Today on the blog: my take on all the Doctor Who stuff going on, plus links to some books you can read to pass the time while we wait for its return: karadennison.blogspot.com/2026/06/so-a...

And if you haven't already, DO check the Forgotten Lives series of books published by @obversebooks.co.uk. (aka, the Morbius Doctors) obversebooks.co.uk/product-cate...

Ebook and combo deal for THE WEB PLANET now available, since the paperback is in stock! obversebooks.co.uk/product/83-t...

I whizzed through this over the weekend. As intricate a case study of televison as you would expect from David, full of insight and connections through a dizzying array of sources. There are already a number of rich, rewarding books about Doctor Who's foundational days. This, happily, is another.

Is this the start of a new wilderness years for #DoctorWho? Why not read about the last one while we wait to find out? obversebooks.co.uk/product/down...

🚨NEW EPISODE!🚨 We're joined by @oliver-wake.bsky.social to discuss his first #DoctorWho Black Archive from @obversebooks.co.uk as he discusses his work on writing The Daleks. soundcloud.com/powerof3pod/...

Just the thing for a miserable wet Saturday... another lovely thing from @obversebooks.co.uk and @stuartdouglas.com - you can't go wrong with Pyramids of Mars, or the Black Archive.

In paperback for the first time, a new, revised edition of Stewart Sheargold THE BLUE LANDSCAPE AND OTHER STORIES, first published by Manleigh Books as an ebook way back in 2012! obversebooks.co.uk/product/blue...

Available for pre-order now - Black Archive 83: THE WEB PLANET, in which Brigid Cherry considers what has been described as the strangest classic Doctor Who sotry - and certainly the one with the best credit. obversebooks.co.uk/product/83-t...

Wikimedia Foundation just fired a long time lead developer of MediaWiki as well as its entire community team for unionizing. If you’re a donor, email [email protected] to protest this move. medium.com/@jakeorlowit...

Today's reading. Another cracker from @obversebooks.co.uk and @stuartdouglas.com

American man makes bad point poorly. Is told so by lots of Brits. Disables comments in a huff. It's the current US / UK relationship in a nutshell.

Latest We're All Stories in the End, continuing its trek through @obversebooks.co.uk's Party Like It's 1998 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t.... Another fine podcast but I think @theiainmartin.bsky.social gives Andy Lane's post-Who career to Steve Lyons by mistake.

In stock now - and doesn't it look brilliant! AN ADVENTURE IN SPACE AND TIME by @rolinsond.bsky.social obversebooks.co.uk/product/an-a...

One of a kind Doctor Who book and signed cover proof now on sale for charity - the last remaining hardback copy of the Forgotten Lives Omnibus, plus the original (rather bashed up) cover proof, signed by many of the authors! All proceeds to the usual Obverse charity! www.ebay.co.uk/itm/26766458...

Sky News projecting a national vote share for Reform of 27%, based on results so far. That’s four points down on what they achieved in local elections last year. Somewhat of a counter to the prevailing narrative. More evidence that Reform appears to have peaked.

There's no debate which is improved by the intervention of Tony Blair. This is ableism. It frames anxiety, depression and ADHD as things people just need to get on with, with no acknowledgement of how damaging that attitude is, or how hard it can be to be recognised and diagnosed in the first place.

A new @blackarchive.co.uk book arrived today from @obversebooks.co.uk! The Daleks, by @oliver-wake.bsky.social. I’ve been really looking forward to this one.

Get your own splendidly shiny copy here: obversebooks.co.uk/product/82-t...

Thanks to Sabrina for pointing out we forgot to put up the ebook of THE DEADLY SNOWS, the latest Cushing Dr Who charity adventure! Rectified! obversebooks.co.uk/product/15-t...

Jonn's right (this time). Surely we're all in favour of increased and better cancer care and not in favour of...checks current area map...a car park?

For those who prefer to buy via ebay (and we know there are some of you!), the latest three Black Archives are now available there (slightly more expensive, but that'd down to ebay fees, unfortunately). www.ebay.co.uk/itm/26440671...

My book about 'The Daleks' is out now as hardcopy and ebook. Link below. I hope some of you will buy it and tell me what you think. I'll share a bit about the ground it covers later. Meanwhile, early birds can get 10% off with code tenyearanniversary this month only.

I've just finished reading @ianzpotter.bsky.social's excellent Black Archive on The Myth Makers, which is currently on offer at @obversebooks.co.uk: obversebooks.co.uk/product/65-t...

The ebook and combo version of THE DALEKS by Oliver Wake is now available! obversebooks.co.uk/product/82-t...

For those of us who never used all of our Bluesky invite codes before they went away, they should be turned into uninvite codes where we can delete accounts of our choice

The Black Archive - Castrovalva, by @andreworton.bsky.social from @obversebooks.co.uk is an utter delight, and fired up my synapses enabling me to see through any occlusion between me and the source text. Thank you!

This lovely book has been published as a memorial to the much missed Doctor Who/Star Trek/Space 1999 (and many others) author David A McIntee. I have a short story, Murder at the White Russian Club, which ties in to David's novel, The Shadow of Wen-Chiang. www.amazon.co.uk/Think-Title-...

Archives. Thanks to you all! To celebrate this huge anniversary, we’ll be announcing a special Archive crossing the boundary between the Black & Silver Archives later, but in the meantime, this code will knock 10% off any Archive throughout April tenyearanniversary Here’s to the next decade!

Paul Magrs @paulmagrs.bsky.social wrote a magical story about a young shy boy who had a dream to meet David Bowie. His wish results in a magical day set around the film Labyrinth. The book is available to buy from @obversebooks.co.uk obversebooks.co.uk/product/star...

A (Black/Silver) Archive Special to celebrate 10 years of the Archives, you say? Watch this space…

Nominated in science fiction for the 2026 Small Spec Book Awards: AS A KANG SHOULD BE by @dalesmithonline.com (@obversebooks.co.uk). Congratulations! #SSBA #SSBA2026

Who wants to read a lovely review of my latest @obversebooks.co.uk #IrisWildthyme novel Nobody's Sweetheart Now and then rush off to buy 15 copies of it for family and friends? danieltessier.blogspot.com/2026/03/revi...

I used to feel bad for Star Wars droids. People were so mean to them when they’re just lil guys doing their best, doing what they’re programmed to do. Now that we have genAI, I get it. If ChatGPT had a metal body and followed me around, I’d probably try to nudge it into a ditch.

That's us closed for our holidays - feel free to order books - please do, in fact! - but we won't be able to send them out until early April!
