Doctor Who, SFF, history, and other things I think about far too much
Doctor Who is a television show with hundreds of episodes and thousands of lines of dialogue. Some of those lines are brilliant, inspiring, profound, they can lift your day and/or understanding of the universe. Some are so dire they drag you down into a very dark hole as you scream at the violence inflicted upon…
There are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of great moments in Doctor Who, but those here are a very particular sort of great moment. They're ones that hit me in the chest, made me hold my breath and lean forward as they seared themselves into memory. They made me feel...as though the universe had made a sudden…

After watching The Avengers' Too Many Christmas Trees for Telefantasy Time Jump's Christmas Special (out...sometime this month!! I should really check these things), I felt compelled to return to a few Christmas telly favs to try and life my mood during this week of Eternal Rain and Wind and Grey Omg When Will It End.…

Way back in 2019 I did a wee talk on the TARDIS Talks academic track at the Gallifrey One convention. It's a fantastic part of the convention that lets attendees do a deep dive into some aspect of Doctor Who that they're passionate about.

I thought it'd be nice to do a quick post about what's been going on this year. And since I have this website it seems sensible that I try to remember to update it. But, yes, 2025! A year that is...the not the best year I've ever experienced, but I am determined to keep this…
In my usual timely fashion I'm making the post about my latest work a week or two after in came out. The classic Doctor Who novel Goth Opera, written by Paul Cornell (that guy I do Hammer House of Podcast with; he may also have written some telly, and comics, and books, and radio), is…
It's less than a week till this year's Gallifrey One convention, and I'm faffing around trying to finish packing. I'm heading over a few days early for a bit of theme park-ing and catching up with non-Gally friends, before diving into what I've no doubt will be another amazing convention. Not sure how many I've…

Yesterday I logged onto Twitter to discover that my audio adaptation of Goth Opera had just been announced (as a lowly writer, Twitter is my main resource of finding out what stuff I wrote is coming out.) It's had a pretty amazing response, and it's wonderful to see how many people are excited about a…

A quick hurrah for tonight's most excellent Doctor Who, Wild Blue Yonder! Magnificent in so many ways, and pandering to my love of Exploring A Mysterious Creepy Spaceship something rotten. It was bizarre to have monstrous moments that scared the dickens out of me in In The Mouth of Madness, a film I first saw…
