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).

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

I had no idea Dracula 2000 got a sequel.

And having made that joke, Wikipedia has told me a joke- Dracula 2000 did have TWO sequels.

This kinda describes my husband, including the fact that his hair is getting more bouffant as he gets older too.

I am still disturbed by the number of people who ask me why I brew my tea for 'so long', when it's 4-5 minutes.

You’re in good company.

David Lynch is being interviewed.

LYNCH: Believe it or not, Eraserhead is my most spiritual film.
INTERVIEWER: Elaborate on that.
LYNCH: No.

#RedDwarf realisation.

In Quarantine, Rimmer’s gingham dress, boots, pigtails, and Mr Flibble are all holographic. They disappear when he’s free of the holovirus.

Lister, Cat, and Kryten must MAKE their own dresses and pigtails to screw with Rimmer for the final scene.

Rimmer in a red and white gingham dress and bonnet, blonde pigtails, and army boots, with a penguin handpuppet called Mr Flibble.

Cat, Lister, and Kryten in the same gingham dresses, bonnets, and pigtails.
