Critical Appreciation

Breaking an age-old taboo, I am going to pre-empt a good number of retrospective entries by being current: I really enjoyed tonight’s episode of Doctor Who.

And I’m being banal, but I don’t mind. I feel it was a great example of creative science-fiction, not least because it had to fit into the existing mythology of the show, which lies four-decades-deep. It was a great, and most notably, moving, piece of television.

I shall write very soon, I hope, about my life, especially the last six months, during which so much has happened, and about the future, during which (I can only hope) at least as much will take place.
