Realised this morning that though I've mentioned it a couple of times, I don't have a proper official omg-it's-out-yay! post for my recently released book on The Ambassadors of Death: Ambassadors, if you don't know, is a classic Doctor Who story, made in 1970, and is one of my very favourite of all Who goodness.…
Doctor Who
Gallifrey 2016
In a few minutes I'm starting the first leg of my epic journey to Gallifrey One. It's particularly epic this year as thanks to a major bridge being out for at least the next month, and a change in airport, it's become rather more complicated. I would be worried except I actually know where stuff…
Doctor Who – Face The Raven
The extremely untimely reviews continue! Today it's the ridic fab Face The Raven, which I watched UNSPOILERED originally, but am a bit scared now I know exactly what's coming. OH CLARA. For the first time in the history of New Who, nay, Doctor Who, I can say A WOMAN WRITER!! for the second time in…
Doctor Who – Sleep No More
It's Doctor Who day! By which I mean there is new Verity! out today, so getting back to my Doctor Who reviews seemed thematically relevant. On V!, we're discussing the very first episode of the New Series and it's quite a spiffy ep, of the podcast I mean (the telly ep is quite good too).…
Doctor Who – The Zygon Inversion
Another day, another review type thing of a Doctor Who ep. That's right - it's one a day till the season's over...or more if I'm feeling partic energetic, and then I can flail cheerfully about River Song, hurrah! Anyway, onwards: I've really enjoy all the cliffhangers this series. Nothing's properly beaten Beneath the Lake, but…
BBC Shop Loot!
This was going to be a very lovely Eastercon report, but I haven't quite finished writing it yet, and it's getting well into the eveningtime, when the words start to blur into one another. So, instead, here is a picture (which I've put some weird-ass filters on; in my defence I was looking at it…
Doctor Who – The Zygon Invasion
Doctor Who is over for a whole several weeks, alas, and then Christmas, and then it really properly is over for MONTHS, horror, but I stopped recapping in the middle of the season. Apologies to everyone who was reading - I was swamped with work, and it didn't help that Zygon Invasion also marked the…
I live on podcasts and wine, apparently
Yes, I owe this blog, um...four posts about Doctor Who. And I will make them. It's just this has turned into a ridiculously busy time, and I've had to do a smidgen of prioritising, alas. What I have found time for, however, is a few extra podcasts. So if you just have to find out…
Doctor Who – The Woman Who Lived
Just finished watching last week's ep, and now to TYPE, TYPE LIKE THE WIND. Will I finish my amazing thoughts before this week's episode hits the telly box? Let us see! (Incidently, I can now recommend new eps of Doctor Who as an excellent way to take one's mind off the pain generated by dropping…
Doctor Who – The Girl Who Died
I chatted about this episode on Verity! so, really, do I need to write 2000 words of flail here? Do I? Yes, yes I do. I've started writing a post about every episode this season and I shall bloody well finish doing so or be terribly cross at myself for a lack of commitment to…
