"I think if you can get a kid reading for pleasure, not because it’s work, but actually reading for pleasure, it’s a great step forward. It can start with me, you know, start with Dicks and work its way up to Dickens – as long as you get them reading." -- Terrance Dicks

Beside the point but when Doctor Who comes back the TARDIS should land in 202? London and momentarily turn into one of these green boxes before shifting back into the old police box.

There are some barking mad boomers out there clinging to the idea that traffic and pollution add ‘life’ to an area

Everyone at Big Finish is very sad to learn of the death of John Leeson earlier today. Our condolences go out to his family and friends. He will be sorely missed by us all. A full tribute will be published later this week.

Had two cinema trips planned this weekend but because @cineworld has broken their payment system and won't let me renew my Unlimited membership my tickets are now invalid. Been chasing their support lines for weeks with no luck. Are they trying to lose business?

I can't even create a new Unlimited membership because their website and app are both still broken from months ago.

Tales of the TARDIS is out NOW! The book consists of eight brand new #DoctorWho stories written by me, myself and I - but there are also some prologues from some of the Whoniverse’s greatest actors/writers. 🛸 I am so grateful to have created new adventures for the Doctor. ❤️❤️

That explains John Smith, the Metacrisis Doctor and the Fourteenth Doctor... It's Ten trying to populate his own multi-Doctor meetups.
ava 🎃 (@amysflwr) profile pictureava 🎃@amysflwrOct 14
ten being the only doctor never invited to the regular multi-doctor functions because the rest of them fucking despise him for the way he hurt martha 😭
the kaleidoscope excerpt: There were tears in her eyes. I understood then that a future version of me was going to hurt this woman, badly. Even though I knew he wouldn't break her, that he probably had no idea what he'd be doing, even though I knew there'd be no malice, I kind of hated him. Stupid version-of-me who doesn't even remember this beautiful, amazing woman, Dr Martha Jones, or how we've fought side by side to save his future. Who will one day stumble into her life and invite her to go exploring with him in the TARDIS, with no thought for what might happen to her down the line. This is why Martha shouldn't have told me about 'her' Doctor. If I ever meet him, There Will Be Words. Anyway, the energy signature was gone, the Diaspora Locus was restored, our mission was finally completed, and I was beginning to understand why the Silence wanted my silence. We left the anchor point for ever.

When's the War Master // Tracy Beaker crossover, @bigfinish? (Also, how sinister would the Tracy Beaker theme tune lyrics become when read by Sir Derek?)

Yes, I will cover any tie-in book releases. No, I'm not in the least bit qualified to talk about books aimed at preschoolers. But that won't stop me.

Si te sientes mal por los retcons de tu franquicia favorita recuerda que star wars las tuvo también incluso antes de que nacieras. por allá en el 93, estas imágenes para muchos frikis era lo mas canon antes de que las precuelas salieran varios años después.

I guess the BBC didn't feel the need to buy the domain way back in 1999 since they had their own dedicated subdomain for the Doctor Who website. The right-hand screenshot is taken from the same day doctorwho.co.uk was registered (presumably by Big Finish).

By weaving elements of her own life, family and cultural heritage into The Kaleidoscope, Jo Martin enriches the Fugitive Doctor and rightly takes ownership of the role. Full review of Circuit Breaker's The Kaleidoscope... thewhoshelf.com/2026/09/04/r… #doctorwho #circuitbreaker
