Finally! Just teleporting in from Planet Deadline, mission accomplished and all that.

Not long to go now, so see @shazzbot et al in the pub later.

@shazzbot – I see your Airedales and raise you one ancient whippet in Ood cosplay fail:

I haven’t had the time to expand on others’ contributions but I am a very grateful reader of same. Am weighing up whether to pop my head around the pub door to lift a glass to absent friends, as I could probably walk there from my home in the centre of London.

What terribly sad news about @HTPBDET – my condolences to his family and everyone here.

Hello! Have to agree with the poster up-thread who thinks Hurt Doc is Doctor (Prisoner) Zero – it means the number order of Doctors doesn’t change (bypassing a merchandising crisis) and suggests 11 massively misdirected the Atraxi in The Eleventh Hour.

@Shazzbot – I certainly hope not, because whatever they do for the 50th/Series 8 will probably write over that potential future.

Nice to see that in CALworld, Issey Miyake does River’s wardrobe. Hope Kingston gets to keep the clothes. Everybody understands that she said the Doctor’s given name under cover of him yelling ‘please?’ at the GI, […]

Not long now…

Just to add that although I lurk more than I post, I’m pleased to do so in such a convivial and smart environment.
