I was not expecting to see this bit of cuteness while reading the Sixth Doctor page of the #doctorwho 2019 Annual.

Let the truth be known! 🙌
An excerpt of the Doctor Who 2019 Annual. It reads “Best Friend: Peri Brown” and is accompanied by a brief biography of Peri along with a photo of her and the Doctor in the TARDIS

How the turn tables.

#thebrothers1972 #sixthdoctor #doctorwho
David Hammond from The Brothers asking Paul Merroney, “Have you ever counted the number of times you use the word I?” The Sixth Doctor telling Peri Brown, “That’s three I’s in one breath. Makes you sound a rather egotistical young lady.” David telling Paul, “Don’t bother. I’ve been insulted by experts.” Six telling Mestor, “In my time I have been threatened by experts. I don’t rate you very highly at all.”

Peri Brown outfit tierlist. I added the cardigan-less version from Mindwarp, and her outfits from Tales of the Tardis and The Eternal Mystery.

I know many love the more formal ensembles she wears, but I’m not one of those people 🙃

Oh, what did I do today, you ask? Not much, just a little lunch meeting with the one and only 😎

I saw "Rolls Royce" in this article I clipped and rushed off to translate it. I was not disappointed.

I love how the Dutch always refer to Paul as if he's an actual person, especially here when [name redacted] straight-up said that he's acting LOL.

@oldsixie.bsky.social How was your business trip?

The battle between watching some Colin Baker feature I’ve seen a million times already and clearing something off my mile-long “To Watch” list wages again.

Do not give me blank templates of ornaments and tell me to decorate them.

Every time I watch this I end up smiling throughout. A really quirky, but heartwarming episode.

1 actress, 4 roles

A cool way to show characters I don’t get the chance to talk about often.

#NicolaBryant edition!

No #DoctorWho :)
Nicola Bryant as Millicent in Blackadder A Christmas Carol. She is wearing a large tan bonnet and dress. A pink ribbon is tied around her neck and her hair is in ringlets Nicola as Martine in The Biz. She’s wearing a large varsity jacket and a pink sweatshirt. (I seriously wish I could find the full series of this) Playing Anne Boleyn in the show “Scoop”. She is putting earphones in her ears, a total anachronism! Playing Helen Wild in the short film “The Wilds”. She is locking a cage.

My gosh, I love this EM Forster novel.

Colin Baker (Paul Merroney) and Richard Easton (Brian Hammond) walking together outside a sprawling estate that doubles as a convalescent hospital. They are wearing thick overcoats, and Paul is staring longingly at Brian, smiling slightly. Paul and Brian standing face to face beside a rose bush. A single rose sits between them. A nurse comes to return Brian to the ward. He is smiling as he hands the rose he plucked to Paul. Paul, holding the rose, looks back fondly at Brian as he leaves (out of frame).
