Articles about Crime Traveller

• Tube Corn
  Interzone #119 (May 97)
  Bradley, Wendy
  p.31-32
  This is not a favourable article. It nick-picks away at the series, and basically has not one good word to say about it. But hey, no accounting for taste! The author even goes so far as to claim the scripts are, "generated by randomizing a cliche thesaurus"! Cheek!
  
  
• Crime Traveller : A Critical Overview
  Sidle, Philippa
  This is brilliant introductory article for anyone who doesn't know much about the show. Philippa has a look at the main characters, and goes on to look at the relationships between them. The article ends with a brief episode guide. A full text version of this article is avaiable if you want to read it! Just click on the title opposite.
  
  
• Crime Traveller
  SFX #25 (May '97)
  Boucher, Chris
  p 80-81 : ill
  A review of the series as a whole. Alas Boucher doesn't seem to like the series and attacks it with some relish, giving the show only an "E" rating. Strange how for a magazine that doesn't like it very much, they devote two pages to it, and use all the same photos from the previous edition. Had to fill up space did we boys...?
  
  
• Everybody's talking about...Chloë Annett
  Radio Times, 12-18 April 1997
  Author Not Known
  p 13 : ill
  A very short article profiling Chloë Annett, and her quick rise to fame. Until this year hardly anyone had heard of her, now she's a household name in the UK.
  
  
• Travel Writer
  SFX #24 (April '97)
  Brown, Anthony
  p 62-65 : ill
  An interview with Anthony Horowitz the creator of Crime Traveller. Horowitz explains where he got his ideas from, and why it's been such a difficult series to write. He also hints at a second series. Although if a second series were commissioned he explains why he wouldn't be writing all eight episodes again.
  
  
• Tamm Travel
  Radio Times, 8-14 March 1997
  Griffiths, Nick
  p 42 : ill
  A short article looking at Mary Tamm who guest starred in episode two of the first series (Death in the Family). Tamm, better known for her role as (Tom Baker's) Doctor Who's Assistant, Romana, explains why she took the part.
  
  
• Let's do the time warp again
  Radio Times, 1-7 March 1997
  Berkman, Marcus
  p 20-22 : ill
  Takes a look at a range of shows which dabble in Time Travel, focusing on Crime Traveller and Goodnight Sweetheart. Being published in the Radio Times means it is a favourable piece, but it's well written, and gives the reader a chance to compare Crime Traveller with other shows. Also states why it's different from those that have gone before.
