I was born at a very early age and now I'm here. Some things happened in between, but they're probably not important.

I thought the refilmed version of that from a few years ago was so well done that I'm happy to count that as existing too. Course, if the original turns up as well that would be even better, but for now I'm so happy that another two gaps in Season 3 are filled.

You know who I feel sorry for? The people who did a *brilliant* animated recreation of The Nightmare Begins only last year and put it on YouTube. They couldn't have suspected for a moment that the original would come along and eat their lunch, let alone this soon.

As much as I'm thrilled that two more Doctor Whos have reappeared, I'm equally excited to find out what else was in the collection. The BBC say the collection is "eclectic", and that sounds like there's a good range of stuff.

Just had the pleasure of editing the Doctor Who Missing Episodes Wikipedia article so it says "95" where it used to say "97".

I still have the MP3-CD format. It's a wonderful story, I rattled through all 13 episodes in two nights (of course I count Mission To The Unknown!). I'm so happy that nearly half of it is in the archives now.

Love is in the air at Edinburgh zoo. Pebbling marks the start of the breeding season for Gentoo penguins.

Kids at Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity painted pebbles for the penguins to choose from and present to their mates.

Love how this challenge has basically turned Bluesky into The Great Egg Race. Brilliant stuff.

What do we do with duplicates?

The original and duplicate are placed in a Document Arena (or Docudome™), then we turn away from them and allow one to consume the other, unobserved. This is a double-blind trial, where we don't know which was the original. Thus, only the strongest document survives.

Received my Season 20 replacement discs*. Must be costing BBC Studios a bloody fortune.

Still haven't bothered pre-ordering Season 21, all depends on how bad the AI-processed episodes look. Let me know, yeah?

*e-mail DVDSupport@bbc.com with your name, address and proof of purchase and ASK NICELY!

Mine arrived a couple of days ago shortly after 8am. I had no idea what was in the package and when I opened it I initially thought "hang on, this isn't S21, there's been an error"... and then remembered I'd sent off for replacements 5 months earlier! Early morning Simon is slow on the uptake Simon.

When I was younger my pocket money only stretched as far as The Beano, but now and again my grandparents would slip me a few extra coins to buy a Buster or Whizzer and Chips. So much more inventive than the fare DC Thomson were putting out, and bloody funny too.
