The oncoming yawn, the collector of Gallifrey, the Keeper of the laundry of Rassilon, the Defender of the Laws of cooking with Thyme, Time’s Companion and occasional fuck buddy. Any pronouns will do.

“Well, I’m asking now. Don’t die, Teddy Valance. Don’t you fucking well die on me.”

Sometimes, this is how you say, “I love you.”

My favourite Blu-ray bonus feature format is Kim Newman in a waistcoat, leaning on a patchwork quilt, in his relatably cluttered house, monologuing at the camera while surrounded by books he wants to promote.

“Well, we made a nice mess of that one, didn't we? Let's try for a lower fatality rate this time.”

Not In Our Name (NION) Women @nionwomen.bsky.social · 2d

🏊‍♀️The women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision.

In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019.

Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts.

If anyone wants a great, exciting journey, can I recommend driving up to Aberdeen in the dark. The mist has been falling so low and think in the evening that everything has taken the look of a particularly eerie ghost story.

I know the Peladon adventures are not fan favourites, but I’ve always had a massive soft spot for them. They always felt to me like core-Pertwee era Who. And I still sing Agador’s lullaby to my kids…

I do hope so. We need more Narvin!

"You mean the mechanism might grow more sophisticated to the point where it rivals the intellect of a man?"

This is also back when photos cost like $15 apiece. We have always been like this.

There is so much to be said for medical personnel with a clear, articulate phone manner. I’m so sorry that was so stressful.

Glad it’s over now though.

If anyone would like a sensuously queer male romance, with questions of family, identity and breaking free from expectation, then Children of Artifice is on audio, read by the fabulous Joe Jameson.

Described as 'highly visual, totally absorbing and truly original'.
