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…

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 – 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…
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…

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…
Alas, no more Cardinal Capaldieu
Ah, good Tuesday, readers. I type to you today in, if anything, even more of a snit at Peter Capaldi and his inability to be two people. You see, I didn't watch the finale of last years' Musketeers, because then there would be no more Cardinal Capaldieu and I'd be sad. However, with the second…
So the Twelfth Doctor is Peter Capaldi…
...and just incase you missed the announcement, the headlines about the annoucement, the saturation news coverage, tweets, and planes writing the news in the sky, this is exactly how the BBC let everyone know the news. Exactly. Yes:
