I really don’t like it that Ncuti Gatwa‘s Doctor keeps crying. It’s not that I think that this is woke: it’s that I am old enough to remember that the Doctor didn’t cry when Adric died! #DoctorWho #Whovian #Woke

"Midnight" really feels like it could be a very, very modern take on The Twilight Zone's "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street"

Jean Marsh has died. A lot of people might know her from Willow, Return to Oz or Doctor Who but her turn as Rose in the 1970s series Upstairs Downstairs (which she co-created) deserves a special mention. She's wonderful in it.

Exterminate/Regenerate: The Story of Doctor Who
by John Higgs
'Absolutely wonderful. The book I've been waiting to read since I was ten years old. Full of surprising and piercing insights . . . The first thing I've come across that absolutely nails the extraordinary nature of the cultural phenomenon that is Doctor Who' JEREMY DYSONOn screen, Doctor Who is a story of monsters, imagination and mind-expanding adventure. But the off-screen story is equally extraordinary - a tale of failed monks, war heroes, 1960s polyamory and self-sabotaging broadcasting executives. From the politics of fandom to the inner struggles of the BBC, thousands of people have given part of themselves - and sometimes, too much of themselves - to bring this unlikeliest of folk heroes to life.This is a story of change, mystery and the importance of imaginary characters in our lives. Able to evolve and adapt more radically than any other fiction, Doctor Who has acted as a mirror to more than six decades of social, technological and cultural change while always remaining a central fixture of the British imagination. In Exterminate / Regenerate, John Higgs invites us into his TARDIS on a journey to discover how ideas emerge and survive despite the odds, why we are so addicted to fiction, and why this wonderful wandering time traveller means so much to so many.

I was sad to learn of Jean Marsh's passing. I first became familiar with her in Doctor Who but I'm currently watching Upstairs, Downstairs and I love her in that series. May she rest in peace.

The problem with criticism of #DoctorWho is that it has been taken over by the far right, grifters and the embittered old gits of the pre-2005 fandom.

So, it's very hard to critique the show - sorry, I mean, 'the WHONIVERSE' (vomits) - without being lumped in with these awful people, or, worse still, being seen to agree with them.

It doesn't help that Nu-Who fans tend towards MAGA-esque levels of cultishness and hatred of dissent. But that conversation is impossible to have as is.

Very sorry to hear that Jean Marsh has passed away. I'm afraid I didn’t see her playing Sara Kingdom in the 1960s, as I was slightly too young for the William Hartnell era of Doctor Who, but I came to appreciate the character in later life.

Although I am a lifelong fan of Doctor Who, I shall always remember her best for her role as Rose Buck in Upstairs, Downstairs, a series that she co-created. Essential Sunday night viewing for my Mum and Nan in the 1970s.

ok. Home. Unpacked. Went out for a pint. Now back, and I can watch #DoctorWho. Was it any good?

RIP Jean Marsh. Watched her in #doctorwho Battlefield just the other week, and always enjoyed her audio revisits to the character of Sara Kingdom in the #bigfinish audios. Every scene was elevated tenfold with her presence.

I was almost expecting to hear Peter Jones’ voice at this point: “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of being converted into a cyborg…”
