  • What The F*ck!

    Well, I’m not sure I should be engaging in “spoilers”. I usually end up wrong when I guess stuff. So, that first episode of the festive special proved thoroughly enjoyable. I have to admit to a fan-fueled tear at the final shot… Anyway, I happy for the ‘enemy’ to be defeated provided that doesn’t mean…

  • Another History

    I have to say I’m glad I’ve stumbled across ‘Ahistory: An Unauthorised History of the Doctor Who Universe’. I’m suprised I wasn’t aware of it’s existence before now. I have treasured ‘A History of the Universe’ by Lance Parkin for a dozen years or more. I have a fetish for encyclopedic works about fictional and…

  • Portable Space/Time

    I noted on Twitter that Cubicle 7 had announced the release of Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space as a PDF, through DriveThruRPG and RPGNow. I haven’t got my own copy at the moment, which irks a little… I’d love to have my hands on it right now. Others have been opening the box…

  • Shiny

    Just noted that there’s a favourable review of the new Doctor Who RPG in the latest issue of SFX. The production value seems to have impressed – with the reviewer noting that many RPGs didn’t come up to the mark in terms of presentation. The reviewer noted the game used a point system for character…

  • Emotional Farewells

    Heck, I’m not going to lie – I weep at the drop of a hat when it comes down to films and TV shows with favourite characters. I still shed a tear when Spock or Kirk dies – in Star Trek II and VII, respectively. Waving goodbye to the crew of the Galactica was like…

  • Counting Down

    Certain moments in time are fixed… I’m thrilled to see that the countdown is well and truly running now toward a known air time for ‘The Waters of Mars’. With the new trailer up on the official web site, the date is set – Sunday, 15th November. Just nine days to go… and then the…

  • Waters of Waiting

    I think I might be tired of waiting now. ‘The Waters of Mars’ has been a long time coming… and I’m losing patience. If we’re going to have a double episode at Christmas/New Year, then why leave such a short gap before hand from ‘Waters’? Mind, we have Sarah Jane returning next week, which can’t…

  • What I Know?

    There seems to be considerable advantages in taking the time to attend early play sessions of an unreleased game and then setting the experience to print in a blog… you get quoted ad infinitum as just about the only reliable source of information on the ‘net. I feel this warrants a special mention in the…

  • New Look, Old Concerns

    The Doctor’s new costume has been revealed, as Matt Smith steps into the Time Lord’s shoes. While filming the 2010 series with companion actress Karen Gillan, Matt was seen to be wearing “tweed jacket, bow tie, rolled up trousers and black boots” (according to BBC News). The official Doctor Who web site says, “It says…
