JNT's companion creator
by Paddy Sinclair
After last issue's revelation of Terrance Dicks' writing
technique, you may (or may not) be interested to hear that he is not the only fan
of the cuboid random integer generators. Everyone's favourite producer also used them in
his quest for deciding whom to lumber the Doctor with next. Now, for the very first (and
almost certainly last) time these secret BBC tables can be revealed to the unsuspecting
universe. Mind you, JNT wasn't the first to use them, just the first who admitted to
rolling lots of sixes ...
