There was a lovely discussion on my Twitter yesterday about TARDIS consoles rooms. It's the sort of Doctor Who chat I love, for people have strong opinions, but it's too trivial a matter to really get worked up about (in my experience; perhaps there are some v angry people out there, who can't let go…

The Diary of River Song – New Recruit and other Big Finish updates
In keeping with tradition, I update the blog a smidgen later than I mean to re exciting new work things. So, to catch up, everything is going in this post. First, the new River Song series has just been released. It's set in Season 7 of classic Who, and River Song joins Liz and the…

Writing for Tom Baker!
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…
Oh No December
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…
Gallifrey 2020
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…
To Gallifrey One!
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…
Abbey of Heretics is out!
So excited to wake up this morning and discover that The Diary of River Song Series Seven is out! It seems forever since I wrote it, and it's such a thrill to know it's finally out in the world. It also remains utterly bizarre to me that I *wrote words* that *Alex Kingston* acted, and…
Sunday Is A Day For Very Little Blogging
So here's a lovely mosaic of pics of the best of all Doctor Who companions. Also Ian is there. It has been A Bit of A Week, but having a lovely Verity! podcast recording last night really helped lift my mood. (Also we are almost seven years old now! And doing a competition to celebrate:…
Doctor Who Stories of Christmas Cheer (That Are Not Christmas Specials)
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…
