I tried the #DoctorWho tuna madras recipe, though for tuna I substituted jackfruit seasoned with kelp salt 🌱. I enjoyed it, as I like all the ingredients, though I did just make it the once.

Perhaps, just like Rob Shearman cogently observed that a 3 second smile and a hello is not much of a basis on which to imagine new stories, that sense of foreshortened future has made fans uncomfortable enough to avoid the subject? “What was your favourite facial expression? Bewilderment or wonder?”

In keeping with the theme of the story, I find new meanings in this pretty much each time I listen! Episode 2 has a discussion about the limitations of LLM AIs, so it's definitely not topical at all. It's a story that pretty much ONLY sixie could carry and it definitely

Requires full attention whilst listening to it to keep track of what state some characters are in. The beeping joke in part 4 always makes me smile and whilst some bits are a tad predictable, I still always find this a very relaxing and warm story to listen to. A thoroughly charming 8/10

How do they present the Fourteenth Doctor and Donna comic? When originally published in Doctor Who Magazine 598, it was printed as two-page spreads. If they've found a way to print it legibly here it gives us hope for future comic anthologies of 60s and 70s comics printed in similar two-page layout.

I once went to a general practitioner who told me everyone has a finite number of heartbeats and when you run out… you die!

I'd much rather see that GP again than a "doctor" who feels incapable of functioning without a chat bot typing up notes, just to squeeze a few more consults ($) into the day.

2006: Doctor Who: Den gådefulde maskinmand is published in Danish, an adventure of the Ninth Doctor.

2025: Bastard Down Stairs Cafe is operating in København.

Another example of the global cultural influence of #DoctorWho

Yes, that’s it. #DoctorWho #spoilers

Despite the title, neither Audrey Hepburn nor Ayn Rand appear in the story story, but their (let’s say) competing philosophies are discussed by the Fourth Doctor and a thinly-disguised parody of a spaceship-building, morally ambiguous billionaire called Stench.

Last year I watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s then read the book (inspired by a very odd story by Christopher H Bidmead in a DWM special edition).

In the novella Mr I.Y. Yunioshi has none of the hateful stereotyping added by Mickey Rooney. Capote’s prose does however manage to be racist in other ways…

Thanks, Mr Smith. I look forward to reading the Black Archive @blackarchive.co.uk on The Devil’s Chord!

Evet, Doktor Kim 15 birkaç zaman “Hadi ama!” diyor. Neden? Bilmiyorum.
