What the dickens is this? Two posts in one week? Why yes, delicious readers, it is. Devilishly exciting, I'm sure. What on Earth could this one be about then? (The title might give it away somewhat.) Ah, Star Wars. Lovely, lovely Star Wars. They are smashing movies, all three of them (shusht). And I will…
What happened to that amazing plan to blog every week, self? What happened? You're going to have to do a week of lists or something to catch up. But lists are great, right? Everyone likes lists! (Five Vegetables of Most Hellish Taste; Five Beigest Trek Episodes; Five Lego Creations People Should Make For Meeeee….by gum,…
To tie-in with this week's Verity! where we discuss the Cybermen, I've written what is surely an inarguable and definitive ranking of all the Cybermen stories, oh yes. You can read this exciting list-type thing over here on the Verity! blog.

My timing is amazing. This is Exciting News that was in a Big Finish news post over a week ago so, naturally, I had to take days and days to perfect this post and certainly haven't dashed it off in the last twenty minutes, that would be silly. But yes, news! Lovely news! Which is…
It's that exciting time of the year where many creators of stuff fantasy and science-fictional do a very sensible thing: make a post about what creations of theirs are eligible for what awards. This is particularly useful for the absent-minded, who may have missed or forgotten something, and the lazy, who really really appreciate it…
I'm sure I made some sort of decision, probably around Christmas after a little drinkie when everything seemed shiny and possible, that I would do more blogging this year. And that doesn't seem very likely to happen if I can't even manage one post in the first week of the year. Honestly, self, FOR SHAME.…
