“Our parents aren’t having children.”

So… not parents then?

It’s not unreasonable to assume that Noel Edmonds started Doctor Who with Dimensions in Time.

EXCELLENT!

Thank you!

My favourite of the French novelisations is The Crusader, with the Doctor facepalming at the knight crashing into the TARDIS.

The cover for the French translation of Doctor Who and the Crusaders. Text reads: Igot et Grichka Bogdanoff presentent Docteur Who: Les Croisés. The art shows a knight on horsback breaking his lance on the TARDIS as the horse rears back. In the distance is a high castle on a rocky hill. In the foreground, the Doctor (modelled on the first Doctor but with a Fourth Doctor-esque scarf, covers his face with his right hand in a facepalm gesture.

thinking about the time a cool Instagram fashion account asked me to name my favorite products and i didn't know i was supposed to name fashion products, so i said pigeon food because i like feeding pigeons and their followers were like "why the fuck do i need pigeon food for my outfit?"

The Instagram account Saint featured me. The first slide says: "Derek Guy - Dieworkwear. Derek Guy is a menswear writer who has written for The New York Times, Esquire, and Mr. Porter. He also runs a menswear blog called Die, Workwear"

One of the slides showing my favorite products. It's it's a big bag of Hagen pigeon food. The food is fortified with the vitamins and nutrients pigeons need.

Instagram user writes: "Why tf do i need pigeon food for my outfit." I replied: "this is what i can afford to eat after spending all my money on clothes ::sad face::"

I wonder if we all have a meme like that. Here's mine.

Kermit the Frog holding a pen and looking unimpressedly out to the viewer. Text reads: "I hate when bitches post "I can't sleep" at 3 am... well that's because cocaine is a stimulant, Sniffany."

The syllogism only requires its grim conclusion…

What I’ve always thought about this shot, even as a kid, is, “Any one of these people could have done it. Except the Doctor.”

*minutes later*

“He smashed up the communications room WITH AN AXE?!”

This also explains why Sarah apparently hasn’t seen Lavinia in years in 1980, and why she couldn’t talk to anyone about the Doctor, not even Harry or Alistair.

Sarah was returned to 1976 in a slightly altered timeline. She realised, and lays low until she ‘catches up’ to 1980.

When Sutekh was sent into the far future, he clawed onto the time vortex in an effort to save himself, distorting time around the UNIT site and dragging related events forward about five years.

This fixes UNIT dating and is supported out by Sutekh’s effect on the time vortex in Empire of Death.

Tell me your most unhinged Doctor Who opinion. I mean, if you’re a fan, they’re likely all unhinged anyway.

There is a lot of stuff flying around about Film is Fabulous and missing Doctor Who. This podcast goes right to the source and the people directly involved and gives some important context as well to what it’s all about

Coda: Frontios

Jeff Rawle as Plantagenet in Doctor Who: Frontios (1984).

Brendan Jones @retrobrendo.bsky.social · 2d

My instinct from the illustration is that it might be a Sherlock Holmes book.

I’m so sorry, Paul. Thinking of you and your family.
