Fire the canon

Morgan Davie on how to present canon in licensed RPGs and specifically Doctor Who.

Ten plots from Ziggy Stardust

David Bowie released The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars fifty years ago today.

So naturally after creating adventure hooks riffing on his album titles and songs from ★, The Next Day, Reality, Heathen, Hours and Earthling...

Some are informed by the song concepts, but not directly.

Blink at 15

Happy 15th anniversary to Blink, birthplace of the Weeping Angels, and a great episode to introduce new viewers... sometimes, because they might want the Sparrow and Nightingale series instead.

Ncuti Gatwa is the Doctor!

Ncuti Gatwa is the Doctor! One of the stars of Sex Education, interviewed here for it. And here for Doctor Who!

“It was our last audition. It was our very last one. We thought we had someone, and then in he came and stole it. I’m properly, properly thrilled. It’s going to be a blazing future.”

Russell T Davies

“There aren’t quite the words to describe how I’m feeling. A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared. This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavour my upmost to do the same.”

Ncuti Gatwa, talking to the BBC

A perfect demonstration from a Sex Education clip.

Also, save Channel 4 and the licence fee.

The Centenary Special

Tonight we ended with a trailer for the next special, coming in... probably October or thereabouts for the BBC centenary... will be the Thirteenth Doctor’s bow.

Legend Of The Sea Devils

Some sword fighting!

Rather more technobabble.

I was promised Madam Ching and got a lot more Ji-Hun.

I like the Doctor trying to let Yaz down gently, but I’m also aware guy Doctors never did that with straight companion crushes.

Nice of the Sea Devil leader to leave his translator on when talking to his crew with no humans around. :D Cool coat though!

Doctor Who: Redacted

Doctor Who: Redacted - an in-universe podcast at BBC Sounds, about three young conspiracy theorists wondering why a blue box keeps turning up throughout history.

Legend Of The Sea Devils

Sea Devils! Madam Ching! A new jacket!

Hugh Grant is too obvious

And not the Paddington cast member I most want as the Doctor. Which is Paddington.

I’m disappointed that no lazy journalists have picked up my list of over 30 semi-viable Doctor Who casting ideas.

(Still all in for Jessie Buckley personally.)

Happy birthday Ian!

Happy 50th birthday to Ian of my regular-ish group and DWAITAS playtest, a bigger Whovian than I!

Thanks, young man. I’m looking forward to a team-up with some of my earlier incarnations!

World Book Day

Happy 25th World Book Day!
