A Note From a Very Surprised and Grateful Troughton Fan
by HTPBDET
Dear everyone
Greetings.
Apologies for radio silence, but I have been mostly in hospital again over the last two months. No point in beating around the bush – open heart surgery, two rounds, from which I am now trying to recover.
My nephews say I am doing fine, as does my soon to be wedded child – and I guess that is all I can ask for. The surgeon also seems happy enough.
I have been out of electronic communication for a long time now, but the nephews and some friends have been doing their best to keep me up to date with things and I have some idea, although incomplete by far, of discussions on the Forum here.
@Craig – love the redesign. Congratulations.
I thank all for their thoughts and well wishes – much appreciated. Long way to go, but I need to be right for the wedding on Anniversary Day and that is my sole goal. For now.
I have, these last weeks, been thinking the Doctor’s two hearts is a damn fine idea …

Wibbley Wobbly, Timey Wimey
The laws of time – as revealed in Doctor Who – are distinctly confusing. You’d almost think the writers were making them up as they go along. 😀
That said, there are certain discernible rules.

The Distinction in AG Doctor Who
by HTPBDET
Posted by Craig in HTPBDET’s absence
The debut of Rose was a much-anticipated and much-feared event. On the one hand, there was the possibility of Christopher Eccleston’s Doctor; on the other, there was pop-star-child-bride Billie Piper who appeared to have disaster written all over her in indelible ink. On the one hand, it was being made in Cardiff and so had purpose built studios and production facilities which might mean it was better supported and resourced than the desperate final chapter of the JNT Era of Doom; on the other hand, it was being made in Cardiff! On the one hand, it was being helmed by Russell T Davies, who knew a thing or two about ground-breaking television; on the other hand, Davies appeared to have a view about BG Doctor Who which had been on display in his seminal Queer As Folk. On the one hand, none of the former writers for the programme were to be involved; on the other hand, neither Eric Saward not Andrew Cartmel would be involved.
A veritable universe of possible outcomes.
Top twenty After-Gap adventures

I have realized that my old age meant that having a list of top 50 programmes was probably too much of an ask for most people. Apologies.
Debate is so interesting – but only if everyone feels able to participate.
So, is it easier to ask what the top twenty stories since the reboot are?
In case it is, and leads to animated debate, here is my list of the top twenty Post Gap stories.
