I’m probably mad for attempting this again but… time to embark on ‘The Pilgrimage’ once more, with a year-long #DoctorWho marathon leading up to the 60th.
Last time I did this was from the 49th to 50th anniversary. Quite a few more seasons added since then of course! Can I squeeze them all in? Let’s find out! #DoctorWhoDay
Part of the SF Masterworks Collection. Despite being nearly 60 years old the narrative around the manipulation of the truth feels incredibly prescient. Wondering whether David Whitaker had read it before he came up with #DoctorWho story The Enemy of the World. #Books#Bookstodon#SciFi#PhilipKDick
As "Doctor Who" turns 60, it's time to pose that perennial question: Who is the best Doctor of them all? The BBC asked five fans to make their arguments. But which of this quintet do you think is the greatest? Tell us in the comments if your pick isn't on the list (we're fans of Christopher Eccleston).
(For your easy reference: "The Star Beast" aired on 25/11/2023, BBC One, and the trans character is called Rose.)
Reply when you've done it, so we can count us all. When we get to 145, everyone... gets a free BLÅHAJ? 🦈
Edit: 2 days later, mission successful: 159 complaints/comments submitted, and still climbing! A huge thank you everyone - stay tuned for hopefully some freedom of information requests!
I have a sudden Sunday urge to start translating my blog about #DoctorWho books into English. It's a huge job, though, since I've read a lot of Doctor Who books. But it might reach more than the couple of people it does now. And the books are all in English, too, so it would make sense.
(I've never had the confidence to write anything in English but Mastodon is helping in that, too.)
It’s only 15 weeks until the 60th anniversary of #DoctorWho!!
I’m going to be celebrating 15 Doctors in 15 weeks, starting with the First Doctor. Join me by replying with your favourite quotes, memories, and stories as I talk about each one!
It occurs to me that, between Doctor Who's 60th anniversary and the passing of Marty Krofft, this is a prime time to remind folks that #LandOfTheLost is actually a spin-off series from #DoctorWho. You'll be surprised how many connections the two shows have!
Celebrating the Twelfth Doctor this week, as it’s only 3 weeks to the 60th anniversary! #DoctorWho
The Twelfth Doctor was a return to an older actor playing the role, and it was quite controversial but I think he was brilliant, and stars in some of my very favourite episodes! What do you think?
Reminder #DoctorWho fans, not everyone is going to be able to watch the new episodes right away. Can we please use the Content Wrapper (/Warning/Spoiler) function when talking about the new episodes?
Let's be kind and make it safe for people to stay connected to the community while avoiding spoilers.
That weird feeling if someone reads all your old #DoctorWho#fanfic and leaves kudos? This mixture of being completely excited someone still likes it combined with the feeling of "WTF, how did you FIND it?"
I'm going to start doing a #YearOfBigFinish. I'm intending to listen to one main range story every day/night for the rest of the year in release order. I'll post random thoughts/reviews as well as rate them on TARDIS.guide and my bookwyrm account.
