Only a few years ago, it seemed that the fight for gay rights was won: legal equality was achieved, prejudice rapidly dying out. Mission accomplished, right? Wrong, argues Gareth Roberts. Homophobia is making a major comeback under the guise of the ideology of 'gender identity'. The enforcers of this new creed insist that attraction to people of the same sex is 'hateful'. They argue that effeminate men and butch women can't just be gay, but must 'really' be trans. Worse, this ideology has colonised the gay rights movement, capturing institutions like Stonewall and the gay press completely. Anyone who disagrees risks professional suicide. So what happened to the funny, grown-up culture, truth-telling and knowing irony of gay men? How and why was the older gay rights activism, which gifted such progress to homosexual people, hijacked? In this passionate, witty polemic, Gareth Roberts answers these questions and argues that we need a new gay liberation movement.

Dobrodružství čtvrtého Doktora, které se nikdy nedostalo na televizní obrazovku, bylo napsáno Douglasem Adamsem v roce 1979 a nyní bylo dotvořeno Garethem Robertsem. Doktor a jeho společník Romana obdrží naléhavou žádost o pomoc od profesora Chronotise z Cambridge. Po přistání v jeho knihami přeplněné pracovně zjistí, že profesor o žádné zprávě nic neví, a místo očekávaného dobrodružství je čeká jen projížďka po řece a šálky čaje. Brzy se však ozve mrazivé úpění, které naznačuje, že situace je daleko vážnější. Profesor se potýká s tajemnou ztracenou knihou, zatímco Doktora pronásleduje létající koule schopná vysávat myšlenky, patřící šílenému zločinci Skagrovi. Jeho plán na ovládnutí vesmíru může zhatit jen Doktorova chaotická improvizace, při které mu pomáhají humanoidi Chris a Clare a mobilní počítač K-9. Otázky o Skagrovi a skutečné identitě profesora Chronotise se množí, stejně jako otázka, co nebo kdo je Shada. Douglas Adams, známý jako autor Stopařova průvodce Galaxií, napsal také scénáře k třem dílům kultovního seriálu Doctor Who. Tato románová verze Shady, nikdy nedokončená a nevysílaná, přináší nové dobrodružství pro fanoušky. Gareth Roberts, britský scenárista, se proslavil jako autor příběhů na motivy tohoto seriálu.

Oltre 700 episodi, 33 anni di programmazione: "Doctor Who" è la serie televisiva dei record, la più longeva saga fantascientifica di sempre. In queste pagine, Douglas Adams ci regala un'avventura inedita, mai portata sullo schermo né tradotta in italiano. Il Signore del Tempo professor Chronotis, vecchio amico del Dottore, si è ritirato all'università di Cambridge, dove nessuno si accorgerà mai che egli vive da secoli. Ma adesso ha bisogno dell'aiuto del Dottore, della sua giovane assistente Romana e di K-9, il suo fedele computer a forma di cane. Lasciando Gallifrey, il pianeta d'origine della potente specie dei Signori del Tempo, infatti, ha portato con sé alcuni souvenir, per lo più innocui. Ma ce n'è uno molto, molto pericoloso, L'antico e venerabile codice di Gallifrey, uno dei Potenti Artefatti, risalenti ai giorni oscuri di Rassilon: un libro che assolutamente non deve cadere nelle mani sbagliate. E quelle del sinistro Skagra sono le più sbagliate che si possano immaginare. Perché lui vuole quel libro a tutti i costi. Vuole che il professore gli sveli la verità nascosta dietro Shada, il misterioso pianeta-prigione dove vengono rinchiusi i criminali che tentano di conquistate l'universo. E si dà il caso che la conquista dell'universo è proprio il progetto di vita cui Skagra ha deciso di dedicarsi...

The Eighth Doctor stars in eight stories, including "Where Nobody Knows Your Name, " "The Curious Tale of Spring-Heeled Jack, " The Flood!, " and more.
Equipped with space suits, golf clubs and a flag, the Doctor and Rose are planning to live it up, Apollo mission-style, on the Moon. But the TARDIS has other plans, landing them instead in a village on the south coast of England; a picture-postcard sort of place where nothing much happens. Until now... An archaeological dig has turned up a Roman mosaic, circa 70 A.D., depicting mythical scenes, grapes - and a Dalek. A few days later a young woman, rushing for work, is knocked over and killed by a bus, then comes back to life. It's not long before all hell breaks loose, and the Doctor and Rose must use all their courage and cunning against an alien enemy - and a not-quite-alien accomplice - who are intent on destroying humanity.
