What day is it? It's Doctor Who Eve! At least it was when I started writing this post. It may well become long and unwieldy enough that I flail and run away and finish it on Saturday morning instead. In which case it is an even MORE exciting day: Doctor Who Day. (Actually it's Sunday…
Podcast Recs: The High Council
Apparently, starting the day with a Doctor Who podcast leaves me in an Appallingly Chipper mood even though it's still at the excessively uncivilised hour of Before Nine O'Clock. It's also left me wanting to share the podcast love, so I present the first in what will be an irregular series of posts reccing podcasts.…
Happy International Coffee Day!
I say international...but the wiki entry I read to check whether it was just the USA or I felt that I could join in without feeling like I was contributing to American cultural imperialism had a lot of "citation needed", so, yes, it's *possibly* National Coffee Day in the UK too. I'm currently enjoying my,…
A few quick thoughts about The Witch’s Familiar
I hope I'll have time to write up another, ah, concise and objective review type thing later this week about the latest Doctor Who episode, but right now I'm rewatching for tonight's Verity! recording, and there are, as you might guess, rather a lot of things I love about this episode, but the one that…

Doctor Who – The Magician’s Apprentice
This isn't a review of last week's Doctor Who episode. It's more a sort of word flail. Which I feel is only appropriate for an episode that made me actually flail - and suppress the urge to flail because dammit, I am trying to listen - multiple times. There are, obviously, spoilers under the read…
Everybody needs good podcastings (sung to the tune of Neighbours)
This is a post about podcasts, which are aces, but first I need to make myself a GIANT NOTE so that next time I move my computer I'll be less concerned about 'workspace' and 'plenty of natural light' (all those windows are doing is eating what little heat there is, dammit) and more concerned about…

The High Council & Uncanny Kickstarter
If you're of the Doctor Who podcast perusasion and you haven't yet checked out new podcast The High Council, it's v much recommended. It's classic Who (hurrah!) commentaries with fans, charmingly hosted by Josh from The Memory Cheats. The fourth episode of The Claws of Axos with myself and Deb Stanish has just gone up…
Down and Safe: The One with the Gorn
At some point today, this was supposed to be a disorganised but delightful con report about Nine Worlds, but the little hand is well, well past the twelve so I should actually have been in bed for about two hours. I leave you instead with this fine link to a freshly minted episode of Down…
Back from Nine Worlds
I'm back from Nine Worlds, and still feeling exhausted because my convention recovery rate is about one day at home for every day away. Which is terrible. But I've no idea how to fix it. I have no jet lag! Why is the tiredness still here? Nine Worlds was awesome though. So much going on,…
Ten Days Till Nine Worlds
One of the things I've been most remiss blogging about the last couple of weeks is Nine Worlds (tickets still available!), which is a most fine and excellent convention taking place in London in but ten days time (7-8 August). It's now in it's third year, and is a fabulous weekend of geek shenanigans with…
