Verity #45 and Other Fripperies
There are no fripperies in this post, sorry. Everything is a very proper and substantial thing, but I felt particularly keen on the word at time of writing, so a pox on meaning, it shall be in the title. Anyway, this week! Verity!

Top Five Underrated Doctor Who Monsters
There was a shiny new addition to my Very Grown-Up action figure collection a few days ago. Actually, there were several. But although I'm delighted I now have a bookshelf resplendent with Jo Grant and the Brig, my heart belongs to the third figure in The Three Doctor themed trio: a Gel Guard. This dude…
