Why do we all love Doctor Who so much?
There's so much fan experience that's the same but different for everyone. We're all fans but in different ways!
Come and hear the stories of Doctor Who fandom and the shared history of us all in The Library of Impossible Things.

Tonight was the last episode of Secret Army. The ending with Monique choking on the song and running away really got me this time. What a series! What a joy to rewatch it.

Yesterday's Paddy Kingsland feature went down well, so here's the huge Radiophonic Workshop feature I wrote for @electronicsound.bsky.social in 2023. I spoke to Paddy, Roger Limb, Dick Mills, Peter Howell, Brian Hodgson and Mark Ayres and joyousness abounds.

So it’s Doctor Who Day. It’s a series that has stuck with me since 1993 and never left. Glad about that as it’s been a gateway to so many fab things and also lots of lovely friends I’ve made over the last few years.
But I will share a link to how it introduced to one of my most wonderful friends!
