This story contains minor spoilers for the "Doctor Who" episode "The Bells of Saint John." New "Doctor Who" fans might have enjoyed hearing Ian McKellen's voice as the Great Intelligence, but may not have fully realized that not only is this the new big bad guy for the second half of Season 7, but it's an old foe as well. In "The Snowmen," the Great Intelligence connects with a young boy in the 19th century, and uses its control over snow to nearly take over London.

In fact, he was first created by writers Henry Lincoln ...

By: Mark Julian Imagine a gritty, crime story that's centered around Jim Gordon and his partner Frank Castle and you'd have a general idea of what Damaged is all about. Make Commissioner Gordon and The Punisher brothers and you'd be a step closer. Put another twist on this concept with the fact that a dark secret has been held by both of these men for the last 35 years and you'd have Damaged nailed to a tee. Two brothers, Frank and Henry Lincoln, were once young cops but went down incredibly separate paths the night they decided to take the law into their own hands. Now, thirty-five years later, the elder brother Frank is a Captain in the San Francisco police department but is being forced into early retirement by a scheming Mayor looking to to secure his re-election. However, the situation changes when Henry returns to town, looking to...

Now that’s the way to do a sequel. Hot on the heels of the popular Abominable Snowmen, Mervyn Haisman and Henry Lincoln were invited back to pen another Yeti tale only this time, they were given the challenge of making the Yeti a little less cuddly. And wow, did they succeed.
The Web Of Fear comfortably lodges at the top of my Desert Island Troughton Tales. After the James Bond intrigue of The Enemy Of The World, we’re plunged right back into the two staples of Season Five: Scary Monsters and Base-Under-Siege Scenario. To be honest, there’s not much deep subtext at work in The Web Of Fear, unless you count the underlying message that TV journalists are a pain in the arse. Instead, the key aim is to entertain and scare the viewers in equal measure. A personal bonus is that Haisman and Lincoln put an...
