Former scientist, current HCW. Tired lefty who's sick of RWNJs destroying the world. Big fan of Doctor Who, spreadsheets, and Doctor Who spreadsheets
I had to “renew” a covid module mandated by aus dpt of health back in 2023 and they’d literally not changed it all since I’d done it back in 2020. They hadn’t even bothered to take out the slides on the failed covid safe app that failed to launch back in 2020 🙃

Both. A lot of them never bothered with research anyway and just parrot whatever official health guidelines are, which are often woefully behind on the science

This is an incredibly irresponsible way to frame this without mentioning that the studies focused on OVERexposure to fluoride at levels far greater than in regulated drinking water

Hooklight! Also the 13th Doctor boxsets

Might want to allow people to skip questions as they might not have heard any of the nominations etc

According to the Virgin New Adventures novel Lungbarrow, Susan is the granddaughter of The Other (3rd founder of gallifrey) who was (sort of) reincarnated as the Doctor, and Susan was like ‘hey im your granddaughter from your previous life’ and the Doctor just rolls with it

And yet the sound mixing in a lot of modern TV/film is done in a way that a lot of people need subtitles to actually understand said dialogue. What a stupid time to be alive.

Eyyy same! I have. So Many spreadsheets, a good chunk of them dr who related and I have no doubt I’ll end up making more in the future

Big finish do release CDs (along with a digital download) but you have to preorder and get in quick before stock runs out

Plus the act of compressing the chest changes the pressure inside it, drawing air in and out in the process anyway. Obvs not as much as mouth to mouth but it’s still something

Would recommend checking out the Bernice Summerfield books and audios. She’s a time travelling archaeologist and they actually explore that aspect of the character a lot more than River, who lbr is a Benny expy

Even before that, there was this scene in The Pirate Planet

“Medieval” as if millions of people don’t currently live with and die of TB every single year bc rich western countries and greedy corporations don’t bother with TB eradication outside the west

Any particular reason that the bronze edition doesn't have the extra audio interviews/bonus tracks even though other DL only stories have them? Kind of unfair to those of us who aren't able to purchase physical copies for various reasons (e.g. obscene shipping prices to Australia etc)

I’d argue that several incarnations of the master also fit under here, especially Ainley and Dhawan. Also possibly weeping angels since they feed of their victims’ potential?

Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without Mrs Baddeley’s plum pudding!

-Cold Fusion (VNA prose/audio)
-Blood Harvest (VNA prose)
-Goth Opera (VMA prose/audio)
-8th Doctor: Time War, War Master, Dark Gallifrey, Morbius series from Big Finish (haven’t listened to them personally but afaik have gallifrey lore)
