Richard Briers is absolutely fine in Part 4 of Paradise Towers. How exactly is one SUPPOSED to play a recently resurrected evil inhabiting a corpse…?! #DoctorWho

The cover of Doctor Who Magazine 132 is the visible personification of absolute perfection. #DoctorWho

Happiness will prevail... keep an eye out for more info soon.

Doctor Who Magazine 131 Letters Page - cover dated December 1987. Reassuring to know that some things never change... #DoctorWho

Prophetic words from Richard Marson concerning Bonnie Langford's departure from #DoctorWho in DWM 131. It would take another 36 years, but... yes...!

Never mind that the brand new Season 24 was transmitting on BBC1 - DWM 131 chose to lead Gallifrey Guardian with news of... Wendy Padbury's divorce...!!! #DoctorWho

Nice to see Omega out and about at the Met Gala.

The McCoy title sequence still gives me goose bumps every damn time! I know that some people are critical of it, but as a child of the McCoy era I'm completely incapable of seeing it as anything other than beautiful and brilliant! #DoctorWho

Your good deed today is to share this post. It's the 2025 Sci-Fi and Fantasy Auction, raising funds for @cabaretvscancer.bsky.social. Simply share, and then go on with your day - knowing that you've done a little something to help in the fight against cancer! Thank you! www.jumblebee.co.uk/scifi2025

Nice! #DoctorWho

It's that time of year again! The @cabaretvscancer.bsky.social Sci-Fi and Fantasy Online auction is now LIVE! It’s their biggest ever auction, with 105 items, covering #DoctorWho, #StarTrek, #Marvel and MUCH more. (Including that other one that people like - Space Wars or something...?)

Sway from yesterday's glorious 'Spearhead Live IV' event at Wood Norton. Congrats to @cygnusalphaevents.bsky.social for a splendid sunny day! #DoctorWho

Peter and Janet on stage at today's excellent 'Spearhead Live 4' event from @cygnusalphaevents.bsky.social. #DoctorWho #SpearheadLive2025

NEW DOCTOR WHO FACT. The famous shower room at Wood Norton - used by Jon Pertwee in Spearhead from Space - now houses a litter tray belonging to this cat called Zeus. #DoctorWho

Had to ACTUALLY watch #DoctorWho at 8AM - before heading off to a convention. (We didn't trust that we could get through the day without being spoiled.) I was a bit nonplussed by the beginning - but then when the first twist kicked in it turned into a proper thrill-ride.

Our annual shower picture at Wood Norton. #DoctorWho

We’re here, we’re queer, we like The Hand of Fear. #DoctorWho @cygnusalphaevents.bsky.social

New acquisition! I've coveted this poster since 1988...! It was a Doctor Who Magazine item - but one that had to be sent off for from an offer in Issue 140 - which wasn't the sort of thing that one did as a nine year old. One came up on eBay the other day and FINALLY it is mine! #DoctorWho

I have written a Cyber-feature on fan-films for this forthcoming special publication from the makers of Doctor Who Magazine. It's another deluxe bookazine job. (Is it a book? Is it a magazine? Nobody knows!) #DoctorWho Available to pre-order now: www.panini.co.uk/shp_gbr_en/d...

Me and @manningofficial.bsky.social at @gallycab.bsky.social.

Oh good lord. No spoilers - but Carole Ann Ford just broke my heart. @dominicjgm.bsky.social @lisabowerman.bsky.social @bigfinish.bsky.social #DoctorWho

I really enjoy these reaction pieces from @blogtorwho.bsky.social. They are important time capsules! #DoctorWho

Post a photo of a bus from your photo roll.

Imagine showing today's episode of #DoctorWho to someone in 1964, right after they'd watched The Sensorites.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record - #DoctorWho was exceptional *again* this week. (If a little unnerving for Saturday morning viewing...) Very glad that I went in completely spoiler-free. If RTD keeps this up the fans will have nothing to complain about - and THEN what will they do...?!

I've only just realised that I spent last night dressed as one of the Dapol Time Lord figures... #DoctorWho

£1,438 raised for @cabaretvscancer.bsky.social at last night's #DoctorWho event. Hooray! Thank you to everyone who came along and chipped in!

A LOT of fun hosting last night's #DoctorWho quiz at the @vauxhalltavern.bsky.social with @0hmyst4rs.bsky.social and @manningofficial.bsky.social - raising funds for @cabaretvscancer.bsky.social. Such larks!

There are a few spaces left for this at The @vauxhalltavern.bsky.social tomorrow evening - but not many! If you're planning to come along, then make sure to grab a ticket NOW! We'll be raising funds for @cabaretvscancer.bsky.social, and the secret top raffle prize is FIVE STAR. 😮 #DoctorWho

Am I the only person who really enjoyed Space Babies…? #DoctorWho

Doctor Who ratings actually quite healthy shock horror! #DoctorWho

I feel utterly betrayed by @teamlabouruk.bsky.social and currently can't imagine ever voting for them again. Pandering to bigots is a disgusting look.

Doctor Who Magazine 616 - on sale from this Thursday. #DoctorWho

Have we mentioned that @0hmyst4rs.bsky.social and I are hosting a #DoctorWho quiz this week? At the @vauxhalltavern.bsky.social - alongside guest host @manningofficial.bsky.social - raising funds for @cabaretvscancer.bsky.social. And there's a UNIQUE raffle prize that's an absolute 'cracker'...!
