Summer In The City
Back in time for summer and it’s perfect. Just lovely. Not too hot, either. And even on weekends, not just on weekdays!
Clearly something suspicious is going on.
“So you’re suspicious because the weather’s nice?”
“And you aren’t?”
Bonus: make an ice cream van scary.

DIY monsters
The result of a Staying In The TARDIS challenge to create or craft monsters featuring a very nice custom figure of Dogbolter from the DWM comics, a great concept art piece for a regal humanoid mantis, and an inflatable T-Rex suit taking over the TARDIS.
Big Finish schedule plans
Big Finish to replace their monthly releases with various Doctors with a bunch of single-Doctor series, perhaps more like the Titan comics.

Towel Day
Don’t believe anything you read on the net. Except this. Well, including this, I suppose.

Sunday adventure hook: The Screaming Statue
The Screaming Statue
In honour of Towel Day tomorrow, based on a vague summary of a Douglas Adams script that apparently developed into The Pirate Planet...
To prevent an uprising against an alien invasion, the invaders pacify the residents by drawing their aggression out to an imprisoned empath, slowly driving him mad...
“So has this been going on a while? The people seem really... blasé about these guys mining their planet...”

Sunday adventure hook: The Teeth Of The Sea
The Teeth Of The Sea
(From the French title for Jaws, thanks to Devil Times Five podcast.)
An ocean planet, a human fishing fleet, and something picking people off, one by one...
“You have to get off this platform!”
“There’s nowhere else to go on the planet!”

Eurovision: Europe Shine A Light
This year the frequently Whovian Eurovision Song Contest was called off and despite being an international call-in thing anyway they decided to go with a no-contest unity show of everything. So as per usual, snarking and looking for plots in the videos.
France: End of episode theme for a superhero show when one of the team dies.
Czech Republic: Okay, this was shot at End Of The Line.
Armenia: This seems familiar from somewhere...
Italy: Blade Runner 2049 wasn't that good...
Russia: No, put the 1970s back where you found them.
Denmark: Well, that was a Eurovision song.
Estonia: New minimalist TARDIS control room.
Romania: Don't listen to the sirens!
Azerbaijan: Burning Man was on after all?
Albania: I'm pretty sure Skyfall already has a theme song.
Greece: Okay, really trying to get the CW's attention.
Portugal: I got nothing.
Moldova: Did she murder the photographer?
Malta: Parkour? In this economy?
Serbia: If we lose the Pussycat Dolls we have a spare?
Poland: And another Bond theme.
San Marino: I said put the 70s down!
North Macedonia: Sudden outbreak of ballet in the pub.
Iceland: Presenting the 14th Doctor.
Finland: Activate Cerebro!
Sweden: Life, oh life...
Cyprus: Nice use of that True Detective superimpose-on-a-figure thing.
Slovenia: Trailer for a fantasy trilogy you've never heard of.
Bulgaria: "No she's not doing Billie Eilish!" - most comments
Ireland: Uplifting rejecting clique at end of high school comedy.
Austria: Behind the scenes at Anonymous.
Israel: Parachute pants?!
The Netherlands: You and me both, mate.
Switzerland: Sad black and white version of The Only Exception.
Latvia: Can we have Latvia and Armenia fight?
Georgia: Cultural appropriation is a terrible thing, rock song in English states.
Germany: Who let this kid into the rave?
Belarus: Be seeing you.
Lithuania: ... man what
Croatia: Correction. That's a Eurovision song.
UK: The Ritual, part 2.
Ukraine: Finally, some vampires! Bonus Doof Warrior.
Spain: That glitter's going to get everywhere!
Belgium: Portishead: The Next Generation
Norway: Also a Eurovision song.
Australia: Clowns!
So fewer monsters than some years, more Bond themes, and as always several sets looking like TARDIS consoles but not many Doctor Who plots.
Although the sirens could work, and maybe the sudden outbreak of dancing if that isn't too Once More with Feeling.

Time Lord Victorious update
What if mortality was something decided by an outside force? And the Doctor decided that from now on, everybody lives!

Sunday adventure hook: Crystal Clear
Crystal Clear
A crystal lifeform, refugee from a destroyed world, on the run from its enemies. Capable of hiding inside other crystalline substances. Is there another face in the mirror?
“We won’t hurt you!”
“Yeah, that’s not the way I’m worried about this going...”

Dialogue for time travel
“I can’t tell you what happens in the future. No spoilers!... Oh, damn, spoilers isn’t even a thing yet, is it?”

Sunday adventure hook: The Shattered Man
The Shattered Man
The travellers see a man stumbling towards them, reaching out for help, then their perception distorts and he seems to break apart, like he was a mirror image rather than a person. The shards vanish in a flash of light, leaving nothing behind.
And then they see him again, looking wounded and battered. And he shatters again.
And then someone else...
“A signal calling for our help... but where’s it coming from? Who is he? What can we do?”
