The historical story had a key role during the adventures of the First Doctor, but over time they started to slip out of favour or became a backdrop to a tale set in the future. The Fifth Doctor, to my recollection, had quite a few, too. Now, we can expect something from the past in…
So, having taken a holiday from writing anything at all… I’m going to do the lot in one go. Right… ‘Partners in Crime‘ – I have no trouble with. Thing is, while people rate it down scale from ‘Smith and Jones‘, I didn’t find the Judoon slash vampire granny episode any more compelling than ‘New…
The new series of Doctor Who has been on for six weeks now. Torchwood ended a little before that. A lot to review – and nothing to show for it. Anyone would think I’d been ill or something.
In the distant past, Channel 4 provided an oasis of incredible alternative comedy that turned heads and raised smiles. In those days Vic and Bob were having a Big Night Out, Frank Skinner resided in My Blue Heaven, Robert Lindsey was funny in Nightingales and in the wee small hours of the late evening we…
I witnessed another fine example of middle lane madness today, something I see every single day in all honesty.

Sometimes you can’t keep a good post down. And, OK… this one definitely comes from an old post from the older than old version of Boreders. That promise of Summer in the not too distant future reminded me I had this lying around. The question I had to ask myself was – what if Molly…
Charlotte Green had a fit of the giggles this morning on the 8am bulletin for the Today programme. I listened, with a smile spreading across my face, as I drove into work. This little moments make that commute all the more bearable. Dear Charlotte Green reported the news of an American researcher team who have…
Congratulations to Kellogg’s Cornflakes on their 111th birthday. I love days like this, because they give me the opportunity to learn something new. I mean, I didn’t know that while John Kellogg created the cornflake, it was his brother, William, who added sugar to them and marketed them as a breakfast food. John and William…
Sometimes I manage to finish reading a book (rather than meandering off on to something else half way through), and I should finish ‘Storm Front‘, the first of the Dresden Files, in the next day (exhaustion permitting). I like Jim Butcher’s writing and I allowed my imagination to connect names with faces from the TV…
