It eats you, starting with your bottom… oops, no, sorry. Wrong fandom.

I think we can accommodate the odd Buffy reference. 😀 After all, “by now you’ve got holovids, direct-to-brain […]

My DVD player was acting up earlier. I think it was sulking because watching an episode a week is against the natural order in chez Phaseshift. Now working and I’ve caught up.

Loved Litefoot getting all […]

An anniversary special, with multiple Doctors filmed in 3D?

It has been done before. Nearly four years after cancellation Doctor Who celebrated its 30th anniversary in somewhat reduced circumstances. […]

@HTPBDET

Hmmm.. much of that I don’t agree with.

it is what happens in front that matters

And that is what I do judge him on largely. That has to be informed by behind the scenes issues as well. My point […]

@JimTheFish

Ohhhhh– Destiny of the Doctors. Great cut-scenes, some glorious (at the time) graphic flourishes, but – the gameplay sucked. It couldn’t compare to this GAP treat I was exposed to in the early 90s. […]

@Juniperfish

Huzzah for your work life balance and increased skill set in marguerita mixing! A valuable skill that I hope you share with the rest of us “in the pub”.

Sorry you didn’t get tickets – I was […]

Next weekend sees the Doctor Who Prom. The session on Sat 13th are being broadcast live on Radio 3 from 7:30pm.

They are being filmed for broadcast on BBC One, but the broadcast date and time are to be […]

A couple of things for Doctor Seven.

New Children’s Laureate Malorie Blackman has written the Puffin book for the Seventh Doctor (link to news story).

The Guardian has a short extract:

@JimTheFish @Bluesqueakpip

The “Boycott Star Cops” thing was all pretty inept. It started in the fanzines and broke out into publications like Starburst (even DWM featured some letters along those lines) and […]

@arkleseizure

Well said on Ainley. I kept out of the kicking of him earlier because it pre-empted this, the end of his run. As I wrote, he and Sylvester were pretty superb together in Suvival I thought.

I […]

@JimTheFish @Whisht @wolfweed

Glad you enjoyed the videos of the comics. They gave me a happy weekend a while ago. I thought this might be the time to bring them up with the GAP discussion. I’ve got most of the […]

@Shazzbot

I didn’t see the Guardian story about the Paramount/Michael Jackson thing but I’m surprised that’s new “news”. They were pitches and “blue sky thinking” sessions. Danny Devito and Steve Martin were […]

I don’t know – I go away for a few days and you go Royal crazy! 😀

Hello to all new people *waves*.

As we talk about “The Gap” it’s interesting to view how important spin-off media became during that time. Not only were the New Adventure books important, but also the work of the comic writers. Each of the faces […]

@bluesqueakpip

Many thanks. As much for @craig s convience and anybody else jumping in, here is a summary:

15/06/13 – “The Empty Child” / “The Doctor Dances”
22/06/13 – “The Girl in the Fireplace” […]

@shazzbot

It’s an interesting question on differences. Largely, there isn’t one. People talk about the Lett’s Era, Hinchliffe, and sub sets of Script Editors (Douglas Adams, Andrew Cartmel) but you notice these […]
