Been watching Doctor Who for many years. Thirteen is the Doctoriest Doctor. Also enjoy much other telly/movies. Currently on another attempt to get caught up with all the Skulduggery Pleasant novels. Often partake in a bit of Audible and love the graps.
I was today years old when I discovered that Glen Powell is not the first "running man" who Emilia Jones has encountered during her acting career. 🤯 #TheRunningMan #DoctorWho

I got Wednesday's Whodle in 1 guess! ✅ Can you?
whodle.dixonary.co.uk/game/2025-11...
This was an easy one, cos I love a story with a little Tardis-doing-something-different action. And the scene in that first photo always reminds me of the bus crash/rescue in Delta and the Bannermen! #DoctorWho

8 years ago today, we got our first look at the Thirteenth Doctor's iconic costume.
I loved it from the start, it felt proper old school #DoctorWho to me. Don't get me wrong, I'd been cool with the Doctor dressing normally('ish) since the start of New Who. But this felt so properly Doctory! 🥰

I'm largely meh at the prospect of more RTD #DoctorWho And considering where he left things at the end of season 2'ish, the chances that it won't be another self-indulgent celebration of his own era are likely slim.
But it's fine. 'Cos we'll still only be ¾'s of the way through series 12b by then!☺️

To be fair, I didn't mind the story/plot of Battlefield. But the dialogue and supporting characters are the absolute antithesis of what makes Remembrance so great.

I had a couple as a kid. There was a sci-fi shop not far from me back then, and I'd pick up any Doctor Who stuff they got in with me paper-round/Saturday job wages!
Including two Doctor Who RPG's that I had no clue how to play, nor anyone in my social circle who would have wanted to anyway! 😁

Well, it's taken over a month but I've made it to #25. And to round things off, let's go with something suitably epic.

All the more so, taking into account that there's an episode that specifically mentions Frasier and Niles watching The Avengers as kids and being fans of Steed.
I also like Macnee's line to Roz that he has "a predilection for brunettes".

Only 3 to go, and I've just realised I haven't picked any 9, 10, 11, 12 or 15 stories. I guess that makes sense given the context of this "challenge", as I'll explain in the alt text. And in the meantime...

22/25 Cracking on with this after a little hiatus (on brand!🤭)
I've never seen this one (not a fan of the animations), but I've listened to it a lot. And it's a story that pretty much ensured Who's longevity.

21/25 Picking up where I left off (had a busy few day) with another little sidestep. I'm not a huge fan of Big Finish's output (for reasons I'll expand in the alt), but I'm happy they exist. Especially now!

....Totter's Lane. The Doc' and Susan don't know any better, but in an environment where the Tardis could have been any number of things without attracting any attention, she turned into something you wouldn't find in a junkyard. Hence Barbara and Ian immediately clocking it.

17/25 I about 9¾ (yes, really!) when Earthshock aired, so the return of the Cybermen wasn't a big deal to me. But I do remember being not sad but surprised by Adric's fate. And even more so, the end credits.

16/25 It's plenty flawed and arguably doesn't do enough with its premise. But it's two of my absolute favourite Tardis Teams in the same story, and that'll do for me.
