Now if you are a BIg Finish fan, you might think "But that release came out months ago." Which is true. But the sentence is still correct, just horribly untimely. I would like to blame Covid. Anyway, my one (and only) contribution to the main range of Big Finish Doctor Who came out in December.…

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…
7 Top Christmas Films
And by Christmas films, I mean the films I most love and adore watching during the festive season. Some have snow - I think one might actually have Christmas - most do not. But they are movies I would find Very Weird to watch outside of December. There would be A Wrongness to it. So,…
Women Have Always Watched Doctor Who (Or, I Asked Mum A Few Questions About Being a Fan Since 1963)
It’s my Mum’s fault I love Doctor Who. As the show was off the air for most of my childhood, without her maternal influence I might never have discovered just how brilliant it was. I always find Mum’s perspective on Who interesting, or as she would more likely put it *annoyingly* interesting. I managed to…
Saturday Yayfulness Links
I did not do Terribly Well with keeping up with lovely weekly links of YAYFUL THINGS that happened that week last year, but FORWARDS. Here is a round-up of STUFF that I found QUITE LOVELY this week: 1 - Actual local news! There's been a rather nifty archeological discovery where I live, where archeologists seem…
Star Wars Rogue One Insta-reaction
SPOILERS, obviously. Lots and lots of spoilers. SPOILERS. I just saw the movie and I have to get the words out before they EAT ME. ... SPOILERS, dammit. Right, yes, so I loved it. Almost wholly. It felt like PROPER STAR WARS and also GOOD STAR WARS and it gave me feelings of YAY and…
Doctor Who Buckety List
I failed to make a Friday Flail list so instead (and I totally started writing this on Friday, so it somehow counts against not failing at regular blogging) I give you my DOCTOR WHO BUCKETY LIST. It was supposed to be Bucket List but I typoed and then thought I liked the typo better. ANYWAYS.…
Who’s the cutest cygnet? (and a new vid!)
So the loch I try and have a daily run by is still frozen over, and some of the swans have taken to investigating the land. And this cygnet came up to me making ridiculously cute noises - I'd no idea swans had cute noises! And I snapped a few pics. (Mummy swan was not…

Top Ten Star Trek: the Next Generation
I am in the midst of flu. Not serious flu, the sort of flu that makes you feel utterly miserable and your limbs ache and your head floofy, but not actually bad enough that you can’t wander about and complain heartily about your pitiable condition. Anyway, flu, yes. YAY. So it’s making writing a smidgen…
Game of Thrones 609 Battle of the Bastards and 610 The Winds of Winter
Game of Thrones, remember that? I was doing a super timely review thing after each ep and then thought it would be extra awesome to wait weeks after the final episodes before finishing it off. Yes. I didn't forget. That would be silly. BUT GOSH. If you can remember what happened in the last two…
