I had an attempt at writing a Target style version of the final scene of the Ghost Monument, a story i adore. Why not have a look if you have the time? Please?!? Haha

My Beautiful Ghost Monument

The Doctor runs toward the TARDIS on the planet Desolation. Since the Ghost Monument aired, I have loved it. I always feel like it’s an overlooked gem of a story and one I wish I could write …

This is Ada Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron and considered to be the first person to write a computer programme which was for Babbage's Analytical Machine. She died in 1842
In her honour, today is Ada Lovelace Day and is all about encouraging women and girls in mathematics, science and engineering.

Autumn and the Relics Of A Dead Summer

Within a gothic style arched frame with spandrels decorated with oak-leaves is a painted scene in which a woman with pale skin and flowing red hair and wearing a long blue silk dress holds a small but intricately decorated gilded box in her hands. She looks at the viewer with a reserved expression.
To either side of her stands a humanoid crow figure, with the heads of jackdaws and long flowing black robes. The left holds a simple chalice, the right holds a small dagger in open hands.

At their feat is a carpet of brown oak leaves fallen from branches above them (some leaves are caught in the dress and robes). In these leaves stand two ring-necked pheasants, a male in red and blue on the left, and a female in light speckled brown on the right.

Behind the figures stands a tall gothic church tower with castellated parapet and corner pinnacles shrouded in mist against a sunset sky streaked with fine clouds.

Death In Heaven: 1983
#DoctorWho

The Fifth Doctor stands to the left facing Missy on the right. Between them in a glass fronted and partly water filled chamber is a 1980s Cyberman slowly being revealed. Beneath the water line only a skeleton shows.

Got my tunes on at work while I do incredibly boring back end accounting.

Not sure noise rock and brutal metal and some nasty punk are conducive to clear thinking but damn, its get me through the monotony.

I seem to recall that name from one of my old block lists. Only because I instantly think of Nanny from Blackadder s2.

It makes me so happy that she got so much joy from being our hero that she couldn't wait to get back into it. What a star.

Praxeus... underrated? Over hated? Or was it impacted by fans' expectations of what they wanted over what it was?
Join Jim, Rod and myself as we dive into a visually stunning love story that spans the globe... is it for the birds? Find out here!

Its 2020 and there's a virus on the loose. Rod Brown joins Jeff and I as we tackle Praxeus. There are no Sea Devils. There are no Autons. But we do have a solid episode with some great guest performances.
