When *Doctor Who* grew its ~~beard~~ moustache (www.radiotimes.com)
In amongst the exciting teasers and promo tidbits ahead of the new season, for some reason I find this deep cut of production lore one of the most entertaining:...
There really won't be any Beatles music in the Beatles episode (www.empireonline.com)
“I knew instantly you can never play Beatles songs on screen because the copyright is too expensive. So I’m thinking, ‘How would you do a Beatles episode without Beatles music?’ And that becomes the entire plot,” Davies explains. “That’s where the idea came from – copyright law!”
What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?
It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?

"I will never surrender!" The third 60th anniversary special script has a lovely, unfilmed coda for Wilfred Mott (leminal.space)
A short while back the BBC added a batch of new/never before seen scripts to their Doctor Who database, including the 60th specials. Tucked away at the tail end of “The giggle” is an alternate ending scene featuring Wilfred Mott that the late Bernard Cribbins didn’t shoot before his demise:...

Scam bitcoin Snap app! (popey.com)
A Bitcoin investor was recently scammed out of 9 Bitcoin (worth around $490K) in a fake “Exodus wallet” desktop application for Linux, published in the Canonical Snap Store. This isn’t the first time; if nothing changes, it likely won’t be the last.

Did the latest Magisk update mess up my WiFi?

Sometimes fan speculation is a saga all its own (www.radiotimes.com)
The link is just one recent example of the wild entertainment it it to follow fan conjecture going off the rails from the most spurious of information. So it went like this:...
What scratches your *Who* itch in between seasons?
In my household we’ve rewatched the latest four specials several times already, and May still feels like a long time away 🙂 So what do you all watch to tide you over until there are new Doctor who episodes airing again?...
I guess Doctor Who twitter is now primarily made up of people who hate the show? (nitter.net)
Some media outlets still use Twitter/X as a source for news and opinion, otherwise I wouldn’t go near the site. Seeing some of the replies to a trailer for the upcoming Doctor who xmas special, I wonder why somebody feels the need to actively shit on a show they so clearly dislike:...

Teenage Peter Capaldi was such a rabid *Who* superfan that Barry Letts' secretary "wished Daleks would exterminate him" 🤣 (leminal.space)
TL;DR — at age 14, Peter Capaldi was so miffed that another teenager had been appointed by the BBC to run Official Doctor Who Fan Club, he ran a one man letter writing campaign to take over the post and club himself....

I guess he got tired of the same question asked over and over again? 🤣...
On the end of Discovery
I have mixed feelings about Disco ending. I really dug the first season’s look at a Federation at war, and following the person who arguably set that war in motion dealing with her culpability. Add to that a ship that is part weird science lab, part haunted house. And yeah, I could live with the Klingon redesign....
I think you'll find the actual term is "wibbly wobbly" (www.theguardian.com)
Good to see there are physicists working to align their field of research with Doctor Who jargon.
Doctor Who, new series order in home media server?
Yes, I keep a local copy of more or less all Doctor Who on a hard drive. No, I will not get into the particulars or ethics surrounding that. My question is only about keeping the series ordered in my Kodi home theatre setup now that apparently the show has started a new season numbering starting with the upcoming 2024 outing...
