I seem to always have more Big Finish audios to listen to than I have time to listen. I tend to listen to them on the way to work and since my journey is 20 minutes long it takes three or four days to get through one CD. They've just done three CDs that are... Continue reading

Names are important
This is the post that I haven't had time to write, but have been reminded about by The Librarians and reading a whole lot of Stargate Atlantis fic for SGA Secret Santa. Names are important. What names people use to call each other, more so. This was interesting when I was in LOTR fandom and... Continue reading
Lis Sladen in The Bill
Thanks to one of Network's sales, I have a whole lot of late 80s half hour episodes of The Bill on DVD. And I realised that one of them has Lis Sladen in it. In one scene. But I took screencaps aka photos of the telly. The quality isn't brilliant because it's from 1989 and... Continue reading
Fanfic nostalgia
I woke up at 6am yesterday (so annoying, on a Saturday) and something made me think of Sarah Jane of the Chalet School. So I re-read it in bed and then made my way through the other Doctor Who/Chalet School crossover I'd written, and the one [ljuser]hhertzof[/ljuser] wrote. I thought it would be useful for...

End of holiday
I thought I was doing well last weekend, sleeping for about nine hours, and then last night I slept for eleven hours. I didn't know I was that tired. I did have bad dreams about work, which involved the computers having been changed to TVs mounted on the walls and it was very hard to... Continue reading
Big Finish audios and not having a memory like an elephant
[ljuser]hhertzof[/ljuser] were talking about this and then I realised it would make a good blog post. I'm very behind on listening to all the Big Finish audios I buy, so I only just got to the January main range release this week. It's one with the Sixth Doctor (who I love in the audios) and...

Another First Doctor 50th anniversary event
Yesterday I went to The Who Shop's First Doctor celebration. It's been such a long week and I have no energy left that I spent the day mostly not knowing what I was doing and forgetting whatever anyone said to me the moment they said it. But aside from that, I enjoyed it, on the... Continue reading
An Unearthly Child at the BFI
Yesterday I went to the BFI to their screening of An Unearthly Child. They said the bits with the guests will be on BFI Live (presumably part of their website), but didn't say when. So if you don't want to know what they said look away now...
Big Finish Fifth Doctor
The upside of not sharing lifts at work is that I've listened to one and a half of the last two Big Finish audios. Half the point of subscribing to their main range was so that I listened to the ones that I wouldn't usually buy (ie the ones without the Seventh Doctor and Ace... Continue reading
An updatey thing
My sole post all week has been the latest Big Finish releases, which included the subscriber special The Five Companions. Which was fun - I want to see more of Ian and Steven teaming up now. Friday was our work Christmas party, which I've only just recovered from. All I did was to sit around... Continue reading
