There, that's another last extra bit added to the Troughton diary text. All done and delivered.

Why do I still keep digging up even more info that can go in?

Now back to Pertwee. Such endless fun.

Pleased to see Heaven Sent topping the RT list. First saw it 10 years ago – in draft form with loads of green-screen holes still in place – but still realised it was a masterpiece. Recommended it to be RT's Drama of the Week. @racheltalalay.com #DoctorWho
