It's less than a week till this year's Gallifrey One convention, and I'm faffing around trying to finish packing. I'm heading over a few days early for a bit of theme park-ing and catching up with non-Gally friends, before diving into what I've no doubt will be another amazing convention. Not sure how many I've…

Yesterday I logged onto Twitter to discover that my audio adaptation of Goth Opera had just been announced (as a lowly writer, Twitter is my main resource of finding out what stuff I wrote is coming out.) It's had a pretty amazing response, and it's wonderful to see how many people are excited about a…

A quick hurrah for tonight's most excellent Doctor Who, Wild Blue Yonder! Magnificent in so many ways, and pandering to my love of Exploring A Mysterious Creepy Spaceship something rotten. It was bizarre to have monstrous moments that scared the dickens out of me in In The Mouth of Madness, a film I first saw…

I didn't write this. ChatGPT did. Because if you have an AI Chatbot, obviously the first thing you should do is to ask it to write odes, and I am overly delighted with the general results of these terrible poems about my favourite things. Oh Peter Cushing, the master of the screen With piercing gaze…
On Monday, I made the decision to go paddling through some icy sea water. For I was at a local beach where if the tide is out, you can see a wreck, and if it is at low tide, it's possible to walk out to that wreck. Spot the wreck! What isn't possible is walking…
After making a list of the age of the actors who played the Doctor, I thought what better use of my time could I possibly have than to make a list of all the companion actors ages as well? So, here’s a lovely long list! It’s less detailed than the Doctors one due to there…

How old was Colin Baker when he played the Doctor? It's a slightly trickier question to answer than it looks at first glance. Do you mean when he was cast? When shooting began? His cameo in Androzani, or his first proper episode? Or maybe when his first episode was actually broadcast? There isn’t much difference,…

These days between Christmas and New Year's always feel a bit weird for me, all tucked away and quiet and leaving a great deal of time to reflect, and then feel vaguely ghastly about how another year is gone, it really *really* isn't 1998 any more, and what exactly did I do with the last…
