Quote from Leslie just now - “Little did I know when I was 18 and hearing about how Jes burnt her leg making beans on toast in Bend it Like Beckham that one one day I would live in the UK and make beans on toast”

Personally I can’t stand beans on toast but I’m happy Leslie feels at home here

What we know about the Merlin of legend:
- driven mad in battle after the loss of his lord(s?)
- from one of the fallen kingdoms of the old North
- (also half-human on his mother’s side, although this isn’t relevant to my point)

My headcanon is shortly after Battlefield Seven goes "huh, that hasn't happened yet" and just makes it happen, so it's him that sets the whole thing up. Very in character as well.
Accepting that it could still be an unknown future incarnation which of the new series Doctors do you most think could have gone off on a side quest and become Merlin? My money is on Eleven

I tell you one thing I really miss about Woolworths. They did proper big boxes of assorted Christmas cards which were great cuz it meant you had tasteful nativity ones for your Nan and funny Santa in his boxer shorts for your mates and everything in between. Now you get 10 cards one theme in a box.

Probably 11. 15 would be interesting because he’d have to stay in character more. 13 unlikely but wearing a fake beard and putting on a deep voice while complaining to Yaz in her downtime is probably more silly than people are wanting but might work well on audio

The Doctor shouts “I’m coming!” whilst Ace gets wet.

Stage directions in Battlefield, possibly.

Why was Mariah Carey unhappy to receive the deeds to undeveloped land? Because she did not want a lot for Christmas

Can’t believe I got duped by counterfeit Mr Kipling mince pies. To be fair though they were exceedingly good fakes.

If gaviscon had existed in the 1840s Scrooge may never have gone on his journey to redemption.

Sorry but I’m at the age that if a colleague spins round in their chair to me and says “Question” then I’m obviously gonna reply “Tell me what you think about me? I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings”

By the way these allegations about Farage’s school days haven’t “suddenly” appeared. They were first raised 13 years ago.

If you think a child believing in Father Christmas is ridiculous, imagine being an adult who believes Nigel Farage

Of course, if it wasn’t for this silly show I’d never have met Leslie . So Doctor Who isn’t just my passion it’s my life.

We included the Doctors speech below in our own wedding ceremony 😊

What Doctor Who story are you watching today? We’re trying to decide between The Romans (because we went to see Gladiators earlier) or Brain of Morbius (cuz we’re probably gonna watch Frankenstein later)
November 23, 2025 at 3:20 PM
My fave story per Doctor (which is not necessarily the same as their best story)

The Aztecs
The Mind Robber
The Claws of Axos
Nightmare of Eden
Kinda
Vengeance on Varos
Remembrance of the Daleks
Maybe the rumoured 2026 Xmas special?!

Is it me or does Stop the Cavalry also sound like the theme tune to Chorlton and the Wheelies?
