Well At Least It's Free is an anthology collecting over two hundred pages' worth of highlights from my various and numerous pieces of writing for fanzines, websites, DVD booklets and forewords for other people's books, all of it in expanded and improved form and some of it previously unseen. In response to popular demand (no, really), it's now available again, this time with much improved design and overall readability. So yes, you too can catch up on such classic articles, rants and thinkpieces from the archives as...
They Could Have Been Bigger Than Bonekickers - from Star Cops to Strange, a full series by series guide to all of the shows that the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and even some satellite broadcasters tried to make into the next big sci-fi hit while Doctor Who was off the air
Hamble In The Sight Of The Bored - the life and times of television's most hated doll
Do The Russell! - from Eccleston to Tennant, an epic-length overview of the first phase of Doctor Who's comeback
Jacob's Flagger - why the Lost finale was the most pathetic con-trick in the entire history of television

The Sci-Fi That Time Forgot - a tribute to the books, records, films and even board games that used to keep us in outer space thrills while our favourite shows were off the air
School's Out - what would have been the complete DVD booklet for the scuppered DVD release of still-controversial sitcom Hardwicke House
