Hi @finishedzine.bsky.social - I hadn't seen this #DoctorWho mural in #Glasgow before. Is it Verity in that #MissionToTheUnknown publicity shot?

You've redesigned... I don't like it #DoctorWho #K9

Maybe the time traveller can't find Beethoven in 18th century Germany because... Germany didn't exist in the 18th century #DoctorWho #Beethoven #History #Pedantry #ItsStillAGreatMonologue

Hi @finishedzine.bsky.social, something odds going on with Edinburgh's TARDISes. One is too small and the other looks like a trap. You don't get these problems with Glasgow TARDISes, do you?

Not so much a performance as a flogging. It was great fun but, with every character playing the same notes for 2 hours, exhausting. If they ever remake the Dirk Bogarde Doctor movies, Sharon D Clarke is a shoo-in for the James Robertson Justice role. #OscarWilde #TheImportanceOfBeingEarnest
