  • Crash Countdown

    I’m getting all excited about this evening now… so much so that I’m writing this entry when I really don’t have much to say. All these pictures of Peter and David simply make the whole wait nearly too much to handle… but, I’m sure I’ll struggle through somehow and will have the recorder ready to…

  • Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?

    Watched this yesterday – and I’m still loving the series. Yes, all that Combat 3000 stuff wasn’t up to the previous standard, but this episode… Jane Asher seems like a bizarrely suitable fit for Sarah’s ‘replacement’ in the timeline – even though Jane is almost two years older. I definitely think Liz Sladen has weathered…

  • Between The Lines

    You can discover an excellent new addition on the BBC Doctor Who website – in the form of some fine pictures to colour in. The set includes individual characters – like the Doctor and Martha – as well as a couple of hectic action scenes that should keep the children (and open-minded adults) engaged for…

  • Napoleon Complex?

    While I’d rather avoid spoilers, I can never seem to help myself – and in this case I’m happy to have given in to the urge. The Sontaran featured in the wallpaper here shows promising development away from both the original potato head and the possibility of looking like a Judoon. Yes, I can’t help…

  • Early Warning System

    I am really gagging for more news about the second series of Torchwood, especially because I tend to be the last one to know. I just don’t watch enough TV to catch the adverts or read enough newspapers to see the preview articles. If I got any less media savvy, I’d best move into a…

  • Never Never Maybe

    I’ve been listening to ‘Neverland‘ on the way to work – another excellent 8th Doctor adventure from Big Finish. The Doctor and Charley have to face up to the reality of their situation – Charley should have died when the R-101 airship crashed in the 1930s. The Time Lords intend to make the Doctor answer…

  • Linear Plots and Onionskins

    A warning… I fear that in this post I sound like I’m just thinking outloud. As a result, it may come across like senseless babble! I have been mulling over the essential elements of a Doctor Who plot while reading through an old FASA role playing scenario, ‘The Iytean Menace‘. As common in the game,…

  • Howzat?!

    When, as a Doctor Who fan, you read articles like this, you can only sit and weep a silent tear of joy, knowing that you have got a step closer to some unrecorded list of ‘Perfect Moments to See Before You Next Regenerate’. Worth it for the desktop wallpaper alone!

  • Hitch Hiker’s Guide to Torchwood

    My entry on Torchwood – expanded significantly from a half-complete piece found in the site’s Flea Market – appeared on the front page of h2g2 two days ago having become an edited part of the Guide. For those who haven’t visited, h2g2 offers a user-generated encyclopedia akin to the Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy…
