Just watched "Looking for Dursley" on the Doctor Who Season 25 boxset for the first time. What a moving tribute and celebration of someone who was beautiful inside and out, and taken so tragically young. It brought me to tears. Thank you Toby Hadoke and Chris Chapman. #DoctorWho

Season 17 is the first series of Doctor Who that I can properly remember watching. Tom and Lalla were my first TARDIS team. It's never occurred to me until today but 1st September is a bit of anniversary for me, it's when I started to become a fan as a six year old in 1979. #DoctorWho

Sad to hear of the death of writer and script editor Christopher Hamilton Bidmead. He was responsible for Season 18 of Doctor Who, my favourite season. #DoctorWho
