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…
Fantasycon, ahoy!
I'm off to Fantasycon tomorrow, which is an Exciting Journey that takes me to places of the country I have never been (Nottingham!), and also makes me change trains like fifty times (three, but still). The programme looks rather spiffy, and I shall be contributing a wee part as I'm on a Doctor Who panel…
Doctor Who – Before The Flood
Ah! Doctor Who! Only the greatest telly series ever invented, *and* we're in a season that is one of the very, very best, so far. It's super scary; this sort of quality can't be maintained indefinitely. When will the fall come? Will they warn us first? Am I no longer a real Doctor Who fan…
Doctor Who – Under The Lake
So I went into last week's Doctor Who episode with only the minimal of spoilers: thanks to SEEING THE EPISODE TITLES, I guessed it was a two-parter as the names seemed connected. And while one might argue that episode titles are not *technically* spoilers, when the second episode suggests a course of action faciliated by…
Doctor Who – The Witch’s Familiar
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…
