Help Doctor Who friends!

I am in need of a 9th doctor Tardis, the one for the figures? I have an almost complete collection, but cannot find one last 9th Doctor Tardis for love nor money (just got the last one I could find on Ebay!)
Anyone got one they don't need?

Maybe either the senior or junior Mr. Popplewick?

Radio Free Skaro #1035 – Six Suns on Pluto

Download MP3 Wild speculation abounds as rumours of the BBC and Bad Wolf “it’s not you, it’s me” -ing each other surface given the somewhat mid (as the kids say) reception to the latest iteration of Doctor Who, The Three Who Rule have theories a-plenty as to the show’s next steps, anchored by nothing but their half-formed notions of media literacy (and some inside knowledge).

On Oct. 5, 1970, the Front de libération du Québec (FLQ) kidnapped British trade commissioner James Cross in Montreal. This began the October Crisis and led to the only peacetime use of the War Measures Act.
This is the story of the October Crisis.

A black-and-white photo shows a soldier in uniform holding a rifle and standing in front of a helicopter, addressing a group of children seated on the ground. Another soldier is visible near the helicopter, which has a flag on its tail. The scene appears to take place in front of a modern building with large windows.

I just donated £100 to Film is Fabulous. They do brilliant work, and now their range to track down missing Doctor Who episodes has vastly expanded.

As someone who helped return original film footage from The War Games, it's a great thrill to help refill the archives, even in small ways.

We regret to inform you that Paramount+ has learned nothing, and the Eve Myles series 'The Guest' is about to drop in two weeks with little fanfare and minimal marketing.
(And then they'll wonder why it wasn't a hit.)

Paramount+ Picks Up Eve Myles' 'The Guest' for an October Arrival

The new ownership at Paramount+ is trying to play the "bring over U.K. originals to pad out their streaming service" game. It didn't work last time, and it probably won't this time either.

AI is the new motion smoothing: it’s become default on everything even though no one wants it, yet 80% of the population aren’t aware what they’re looking at is awful.

Alberta's crude oil production hit an all-time high in July 2025, reaching 4.32 million barrels per day, but the province still has one of the highest unemployment rates in Canada at 8.4%. Pumping more oil with less workers helps the corporation shareholders but doesn’t help working Albertans.

I can't see with all the smoke that this scandal is giving off. At what point does the Premier, finally, announce a public inquiry? This is not about restructuring health care in Alberta, it is corruption.

Watched Game 8 for about the hundredth time earlier today.

Canadian History Ehx @cdnhistoryehx.bsky.social · 11d

On Sept. 28, 1972, Canada and the Soviet Union took to the ice in the final game of the Summit Series. With the series tied, it would come down to one of the most famous goals in Canadian hockey history.
This is the story of Game Eight.

🧵 1/14

The black-and-white photo depicts an intense ice hockey moment with players in action. Paul Henderson is cheering with his arms raised, holding his stick triumphantly. Another player in a similar Canadian jersey is nearby, while a player in a "CCCP" (Soviet Union) jersey stands to the right. A goaltender is on the ice, and a crowd is visible in the background behind the net.
