For reasons clear to anyone who studies his Twitter feed and interactions, veteran Doctor Who fan Ian Levine is keen to make it known that this short series of articles published in DWB in 1992 is available to read online. It's been supplemented and superseded by other work, such as Richard Molesworth's DWM articles and the two editions of his book Wiped published by Telos, and by the ongoing work by the BroaDWcast site, but it's still readable and tells Levine's side of the story as well as convey how horrified first-generation Doctor Who fandom was when they learned that episodes which they often remembered from childhood and which they imagined survived at some BBC vault no longer existed, with anecdotes of early fandom and the dawn of home video.

Which songs were number one in the UK, US and Australian charts on the day I was born? Courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] wellinghall and This Day in Music.

UK: I Hear You Knockin' - Dave Edmunds; though I'd have gone for the top of the charts of 21 November 1970 rather than 28 November as the engine does, so I also offer Voodoo Chile - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Reviews for both on the excellent Popular: Voodoo Chile; I Hear You Knockin'.

US: I Think I Love You - Partridge Family

Australia: Lookin Out My Back Door - Creedence Clearwater Revival

and to counter accusations of Anglophone bias:

France: Deux amis pour un amour - Johnny Halliday

Germany: A Song of Joy - Miguel Rios

Italy: Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall - Aphrodite's Child

Netherlands: To My Father's House - Les Humphries Singers
