Totally thrilled by the arrival of this chunk of loveliness. Why don’t I switch off my television set and stay in and read something more fascinating instead? 😁

Neverwhere is a fabulous opportunity to see the Doctor we never had. Paterson Joseph’s Maquis de Carabas is superb.

If the episode is called The Christmas Wheel and Billie regenerates into Michael McIntyre then we will have to hunt you down. Russell is bound to be scrabbling around for ideas and that’s as good as any we’re likely to get πŸ˜‰

Bloody hell @chrischapman81.bsky.social you’ve left me in tears AGAIN! Just finished watching your Ian Marter documentary. Even my partner, who has zero interest in Who, was glued to it and she said afterwards how moving it was. Thanks, as ever, for your hard work making it happen.

β€œThe end of Doctor Who isn’t expected or planned. Worse, it isn’t even admitted to. There’s no announcement; just a lack of programme neatly smoothed over by the promise that normal service will be eventually resumed.”

And right there is where we are now. I can almost hear Peter Cregeen… 😏

Funnily enough, I’ve had the blue spine edition since I was a kid in the late 70s - I only got the green one last week! 😏

Goldfinger. Skyfall is good the first couple of times but, aside from a couple of set pieces, gets less rewarding on repeated viewings IMO.

After several rewrites, I *think* I’ve settled on:

The War Games
Terror of the Zygons
The Talons of Weng-Chiang
The Five Doctors
The Caves of Androzani
