During this chat, I wanted to say how often (rarely?) Picard gets laid in TNG. I went with three, thinking:
- Captain's Holiday
- Tapestry
- Lessons
(I discount The Inner Light as it wasn't "real").

Did I miss any?

For the full context, tune in to @thedwshow.net on Sunday!

Agreed 100% The 'look' of his film posters is so iconic.

Vale.

Survival
Ghost Light
Erm, does Curse of the Fatal Death count as Classic series?
Dimensions in Time?
Those bits Colin did as the Doctor on Roland Rat the Series?
... might be struggling with this one...
The Kings Demons, it's a guilty pleasure...

You know the saddest thing about the RTD2 era drifting into the sunset? That just as we got the best version of the #DoctorWho logo back, it'll get replaced, sooner or later, with something that won't be as good... unless it's the Pertwee/McGann logo again which seems unlikely!

This month's @thedwshow.net List Makers is "Top 5 Classic Stories with Less than 4 Episodes"...
How many McCoys will make the list, given HALF his stories qualify!
Have a listen & let us know what you think!

I can’t win! On another post where I used The Rescue, I was accused of spoilers!

There's been one overriding comment on this episode, here and elsewhere, which has been surprising in some ways and not so surprising in others. Love it when an episode of the show gets people talking... not that it was a deliberate plan, I hasten to add. Us plan? Ha...! ;)

I had 2 snaps with each of you, and one of those was with both. That was also the one that's my favourite <4 episode stories. Count me as chuffed.

OTD 1979 Douglas Adams’ The HitchHiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (the book of The Book)
“the story of that terrible stupid catastrophe and some of its consequences…”
In which everything we love is bulldozed for stupid reasons by bloodyminded bastards who just hate everyone.
Yeah.

Evergreen: DON’T PANIC

Original book cover: “The HitchHiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” (in large, friendly letters) by Douglas Adams, based on the famous radio series)

From the original back cover: “DON’T PANIC” in large friendly letters. Possibly too late by now.

And indeed the time we both looked at it, as part of a deep dive into Season 25... thedwshow.net/2020/10/25/t... We've really flogged that poor horse to death, haven't we? LOL.

Someone on X raised that too. I said to him it felt like *too* much of a cheat, given it's not episodic and is a special. I know we have no rules on List Makers and we can interpret things how we like, but I didn't feel it was entirely in the spirit of the topic. Revelation on the other hand... ;)
