Two posts in two days. What is this? But never fear, yet again I'm posting about some smashing news rather later then when it was announced. It's more Big Finish, and it's giddyingly awesome: I've written for Tom Baker. I thought it wasn't going to be out for years and years (it's still quite a…
I intended to make another attempt to do a post a day in December. Last year was unsuccessful but, hey, I tried. ALAS, it is 2020, so I missed the fact that December started yesterday. Well done me. This year, well, everyone knows about this year. It started in March, lasted approximately three decades, and…
Oh, I've been meaning to do a Gally (Gallifrey One, the greatest Doctor Who convention in the world) report for, uh, two months now? A long time anyway. In my head it was a beautiful thing, detailed, and effervescent and lengthy. I think I'm going to manage one of those things. For this post will…
A I type I keep glancing up at the window to make sure the land hasn't been covered in a sheet of white. Storm Ciara has hit the UK and it's a bit, uh, blustery out. And cold. And sleety. And snowy. I'm off to Glasgow later today, where I'm flying from tomorrow, but there's…

Once upon a time, there weren't Doctor Who Christmas episodes...well, there was one - The Feast of Steven - but it was lost, and fans used to get weirdly angry about its most awesome moment...anyway, back in the day we had to walk up a hill twice though sleet and gale to watch ten minutes…

Today we consider hats. Not merely any hats, but the splendid hats of Doctor Who that have helped to create worlds. So that means (magnificent as, say, the Doctor's hat in The Reign of Terror is) hats from the real world are not included, no matter how dashing it looks perched on the head of…

After yesterday's post required a wee bit more work than I expected (I started out "oh, I know all about this, let's go!" and them ended up trying to check everything in a fit of paranoia) today's one is nice and straightforward. And a meme once again nicked off Twitter: my Top 5 Doctor Who…
