• The Day Of The Doctor

  November 22, 2013

  Three hours of absolutely phenomenal television. First was the episode itself - truly glorious and amazing. The plot was brilliant - well worked and well written. David T, Matt S and John Hurt were fantastic - entirely stole the show. And although I am pretty convinced most of the Archive Of...

• NaNoWriMo 2013, Week 2

  November 9, 2013

  Week 2 has gone a great deal better than week 1. Firstly because it was longer, secondly because I have not had to abandon my story and start another, and thirdly because I actually have a fair idea where the story is going and possibly even how to get it there. It has lead to me…

  November 1, 2013

  So the first - very short - week of National Novel Writing Month, 2013, is over. It has already proved to be as chaotic as last year, but at least this time it did not take me quite so long to realise I was never going to finish the novel I had started. Last year…

• Nyssa Of Traken

  October 25, 2013

  In my head, the first episode I saw was Genesis of The Daleks, but given that it was broadcast in 1975, when I was two, I suspect I might be misremembering that fact (unless it was a repeat? Or I am thinking of the wrong  episode?) My first memory is of Tom Bake...

• What did you learn in school today?

  October 7, 2013

  You can be a mass murdering, genocidal maniac but if you repent just before you die, you get to go to heaven. (Harry Potter, Star Wars) Don’t judge people on first impressions - you may end up being set on fire. (Twilight) Don’t take sweets from strangers. (Narnia) All spiders are evi...
