Happy Doctor Who Day, folks. Like me, I am sure they don’t feel a day over 62. Thanks to @benjamincook.bsky.social for the picture and to the Bad Wolf team for a great day out which included playback review to sign off my mix for the new edit of @bbcdoctorwho The Sea Devils. We hope you’ll enjoy it.
