As the final CT of my tenure as Editor is now dropping through letterboxes, I just wanted to say thanks and farewell - CTwise anyway!

I hope you enjoyed reading the 36 issues that I've had the pleasure of producing and, like you, I'm looking forward to seeing what Grant Bull is going to bring us. I have no doubt that it will be excellent.

With very best wishes,

Tony

On April 19th Planet of the Spiders is released on DVD, joining a big list of Doctor Who titles. We have arranged for DWAS members to be able to buy a copy signed by Mike Yates (Richard Franklin). There are also some other new DWAS-related items available. Please see the 'Merchandise' section (menu bar above)

.......that Tom Baker regenerated into Peter Davison. I find that extremely scary!

The next issue of CT should be with all UK based members by the end of this week, and overseas members shortly afterwards. You can see a preview at www.dwasonline.co.uk/celestial_toyroom

**UPDATE - CT 395 went into the post on 25th March**

The next edition of Celestial Toyroom, from your favourite Doctor Who fan club has now been finished and is about to go to the printers. The magazine is Tony Jordan's last as editor as has 'My Favourite Story' as it's theme. The magazine also features two pieces about Nicholas Courtney.

Martin Holmes has sent us this lovely poem.

CHAP WITH WINGS (FOR MR COURTNEY)

Not that I ever met you
But I hear you were a gent
A fine, upstanding gentle man,
And Honorary President.

A known face on the T.V.
With a life of many parts
Then a troubled space agent
Brought you closer to our hearts

But the one I most remember
Carved in my youthful mind

Ed Brady: It's very sad to have learned the news of Nicholas Courtney's passing. His character of the Brigadier was a good friend of the Doctor and, as an actor, he was a good friend of Doctor Who the programme and its many loyal followers.

Alan Stevens: I first met Nick Courtney at a DWAS convention in 1983 called Interface 3, an event themed around the Jon Pertwee era of Doctor Who.

And my favourite of this week's picks,,,,

With a snappy outfit that consisted of waistcoat, frock coat, wide-brimmed hat and, most famously, his amazing multicoloured scarf the Fourth Doctor's style and panache are legendary!
