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.…
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…

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…
Mondays: now 500% faster
I assume they're faster anyway. This is because I had my first podcast recordings yesterday since I had NEW INTERNET installed. And it was amazing. Uploading, instead of taking a seriously cantakerous hour, was over in 3 mins, and that was for two podcasts, *and* the Skype call didn't even lag. It was ridiculously awesome.…
Scientific Secrets of Doctor Who
I'm in this rather fab new book that's coming out on June 4th: The Scientific Secrets of Doctor Who, an anthology of short stories and SCIENCE. And I may have just a *smidgen* of difficulty in mentioning it in a cool and professional manner because I got to write a short story about the Twelfth…
