Honestly, I looked at that Winder article and just did a mental shrug. So pseuds corner it defies belief. I couldn’t even summon up the energy to take the piss.

The Pratchett article is interesting, and because the article doesn’t really explain its source, I will. When this site first launched in January I highlighted a b…[Read more]

@ScaryB (and other Orphan Black watchers)

So, what did you think of the last episode? I only just noticed it was shown tonight, as this link went up on the Guardian.

I thought it was great, with a lot of potential for the next…[Read more]

I agree with every word. I could have waxed lyrical about Matt Smith for hours, but I had to concede I’d already done that on the episode blogs! 😀 I thought I’d just dwell on how this run has made me feel, and it’s been fantastic.

The subtlety of the performance is astonishing, and as you say has grown over the three years…[Read more]

@WhoHar

I agree with you on Eleventh Hour. I think I said on the blog for that episode that I really hope Moffat can pull a double and write two great intros, with a good strong start for Peter Capaldi.

Peter Davison is confirmed for the Excel convention, and a 2D screening of the anniversary special is also to occur on the Saturday (for a limited number though).

In addition to the Doctors, the other guests confirmed are:

Friday, November, 22:

Waris Hussein, Anneke Wills, Kate O’Mara, Richard Franklin, Matthew Waterhouse, Sarah Sutton, Terry…[Read more]

So – what were you doing on Saturday 3rd January 2009 at tea-time? I can remember well, because I was watching a specially arranged version of Doctor Who Confidential on BBC One, and this had just happened:

I stared at the screen with bemusement. What the hell had just happened? I’m told most of the c…[Read more]

Gosh, is it November already? Any thoughts on this chap, Matt Smith, or indeed any Doctors are very welcome.

We started this journey in January with a plan for a Doctor a month for eleven months, not realising at the time that the end of the 12th month would see a new Doctor. While it seems strange to be talking about eleven when he’s still i…[Read more]

Ooh Halloween. Surely:

Only pop music can save us now!

Thanks, @scaryB, but the Radio 4 extra news gets better. That one is complete on the Saturday, and there is a new adventure each night that week with some full cast Big Finish stuff as well. The schedule is:

Sat 16th Nov: AudioGo “Doctor Who and the Daleks”
Sun 17th Nov: Protect and Survive. The Seventh Doctor with old companion Ace and audio com…[Read more]

I’ll add this to the blog at the weekend, but something a bit different.

Saturday 16th November at 6pm, and then subsequent nights, will see Radio 4 Extra broadcasting “Doctor Who and the Daleks”. AudioGos reading of the first Doctor Who book written by David Whittaker. It features his reinterpretation of the meeting of Ian, Barbera and the…[Read more]

Many thanks for those words @DanMartinUK. You know your always welcome, whenever you have a moment.

@shazzbot

It makes sense to move the posts to the blog if it’s possible. I know we used to struggle with that in the past.
