It looks like it was called TCC here.

That is from Swedish public service.

Excellent, thank you. I don’t know if TCC used the English form of their name everywhere outside of the UK, so that helps.

I found by googling that it was called TCC Nordic.

May I ask what you are trying to find for information?

TCC Nordic launched in 1996, but The Children’s Channel (full name) launched in Scandinavia in 1988. They rebranded, basically. Still, it would probably be easier for me to search under the TCC Nordic name…
Colin Baker starred in a bunch of interstitial shows in the late 80s for the channel to help teach foreign children English. For all the information I can find about TCC, most of it seems focused on the UK, and that’s probably irrelevant if the show’s trying to teach English. It’s difficult to find any information about the show (called Cuckoo) because there are literally no references to it online except two. I don’t even know if the show aired in Scandinavia, but I have no real reference point to start from.

You will never guess who I spotted as an extra in Mirrorball (Jennifer Saunders’ failed pilot with the Ab Fab cast).
Dame Bonnie has a cameo too.

So, apparently this exists:
There’s no reviews either on Amazon or Goodreads and no wiki articles on either fandom or wiki. Apparently its a sort of Doctor Who/Men in Black crossover. It looks very unofficial with a 979 ISBN (the publisher is just the author’s name). No idea even which incarnation it is. Anybody heard of this?

Looks like self published fan fic?
Will probably get taken down.

The author has several other books listed, including another Doctor Who novel, The Toymaker’s Winter Wonderland. All books have covers that look like they’re AI-generated. Maybe the text is too.

I just and happened across it while browsing Amazon and figured I’d ask. I didn’t think it was anything official.

I would like to point something out that is bothering me a bit.
I think that there has been an increase in comments that make fun of errors in posts (spelling errors and other similar things). I don’t think that this is that funny and it is starting to affect how I use the forum (run more and more of my comments through ChatGTP before posting). I have no problem with getting corrected but I feel like it has become too much making fun of mistakes. It also kills discussion because then the next post is about that and not what has been said.
I like that we can make fun of stuff and each other, I do that too, it is just this that I feel has become too common. If I do something that is bothering anyone please tell me.
Sorry for the long post. Just wanted to get this off my chest.

That’s absolutely fair, I know it’s something I’ve been doing so thank you for saying, and I’ll try to avoid doing so in future!

I really do not want anyone to feel bad or anything. It has just happened a lot lately and I wanted to say something. It is not directed at anyone specific.

Skimming through a Bleeding Cool article about the Master and it talks about the apparent confirmation that The War Chief is an early incarnation and they get the actor wrong: “If The War Chief (Philip Modoc) from “The War Games” was the first iteration of The Master, the character has undergone an interesting evolution”.

I mean I get that it’s possible to get two similarly named characters (War Chief and War Lord) mixed up, but that’s why you double-check before you publish/post. Also, as I’m skimming through, they misspell Ainley as Ainsley.
For the record if anyone’s interested, here’s the article: Doctor Who: The Retconned Road to Sacha Dhawan's Chaotic Master

Well, I am obviously to blame for this as well, and I’m sorry if it’s been bothering you. I shall try to not do it again going forward 
Everyone is allowed to make fun of my silly errors, though, I don’t mind.
