Bored, so I thought I'd 🧵 my #DoctorWho and professional #library, knowledge management, records management and book related passions together, and chart the occurrences they appear in the time travelling programme. No doubt I've missed some, so please let me know.

The Tenth Doctor (David Tennant) perusing a hefty tome in a library from Tooth And Claw.

Seriously, why isn't Alexei Sayle's Stuff repeated anywhere? I rue the day I got rid of my dvd collection as they're silly prices now.

I think it was a @cheeseford.bsky.social post a few months ago that alerted me to The Beiderbecke Trilogy (thank you!). I'd never heard of it so I'm watching it for the first time. A good thing too as this may get me back into listening to jazz. James Bolan and Barbara Flynn make a fab couple.

What's that game called where you have the name of a famous person stuck to your forehead and you have to guess their identity through asking "Yes", "No" questions? Anyway, I was Demis Russous once.

I didn't guess it.
