The track in question is THE WITCHES SABBATH from Berlioz's SYMPHONIE FANTASTIQUE. There you go. Don't say that you never learn anything cultural here.  |

Who would dare say such a thing about culture vultures R us? Dr Who & The Daemons is another book i was getting along famously with until circumstances intervened and i forgot it existed. will get back to it soon. 'The Magister' is such a dirty rotter you can't help but love him. |

One of my favourite DW stories of all time - owing much to my favourite Quatermass story, Q and the Pit. Yes, the Magister is adorable, especially his incantations which are Mary had a little lamb recited backwards. Class.

I remember that the BBC had to assure viewers who wrote in to complain about the 'Destruction of an ancient church for a TV show', that no churches were harmed in the making of the programme. The model effect was quite convincing, even today. One of the very best Doctor Who stories ever. Barry Letts was always enthusiastic about the show. I know I was not alone at being sad when he died a few years back.

Noticed in the first post here that you have Alan Willow's name down, I presume as the cover artist? He did the internal illustrations. Chris Achilleos is the cover artist on the first edition. Here's Andrew Skilleter's reprint cover... Attachments:

Just got this one in the mail today. Liked the serial. The living gargoyle was cool and reminded me pleasantly of Cast a Deadly Spell (or should that be the other way around? The Dæmons did come first), and I thought that Azal was pretty badass and the effects used to realize him were pretty good, as well, for the time. The Dæmons was also my first exposure to the classic-era Master, and I have to say I was quite impressed, and, although I did enjoy John Simms for sheer camp value, his hyperactive "squirrel on crack" style insanity couldn't hold a candle to Roger Delgado's soft-spoken, quietly menacing performance. I'm expecting to like Letts' novelization. It looks slightly thicker than Doctor Who and the Seeds of Doom and Inferno, too. It has a pretty cool cover with Azal being all dæmon-y. Although they could've chosen a better pose for him. He looks less menacing and Satanic and more like a stage magician doing a "Ta-da!" type pose. And the cloud of smoke located directly behind his lower extremities makes it looks like he just loosed a gigantic f*rt...  " Fear my noxious ass funk, puny Earthlings!" |

I always preferred the Chris Achilleos cover. Andrew Skilleter's is good, but anything by Achilleos trumps it. The Target covers by Chris Achilleos were a major reason for buying a Target book - they were simply startling in their odd beauty. 'Doctor Who And The Daleks' for instance - the Doctor's lapels with galaxies and stars on them; inspired.
