This trailer's got me all hyped. Love the dark red aesthetics. My 43 year old AND 8 year old self feels goosebumpy at this. Hope it delivers. πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ #tronares

I'm loathe to read early reviews as they give away more of the story than I care to know in advance. That said, I've skimmed over a verdict or two and I'll be interested in how close they are to my own observations and the observations of my regular community. Almost there. πŸ΅πŸ€” #doctorwho

1979 US publication of Revenge of the Cybermen, by Pinnacle Books, Los Angeles. Love this artwork. Interesting Cyberman variant, looking decidedly friendlier than the psychopathic Vogan beside him.πŸ€–πŸ˜³

With less than I week to go before The Robot Revolution, I decided to pluck out a fairly random Cybermen document from Modern Who's literary archives. Hope you enjoy.πŸ€–πŸ΅

A two and a half hour @eyepatchwolf.bsky.social video on pro wrestling is a pay-per-view event. It's a "Cancel all plans and make room!" event. It's a "Pour a glass, turn off the lights, and I'll see you on the other side!!" thing. I love this man's content SO MUCH!!!!πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ”₯πŸ”₯

I'm doing a bit of a Davison marathon this spring. What's your favourite 5th Doctor TV story? #doctorwho

Power-read a 2013 Doctor Who novel in prep for this week's video.πŸ€– #doctorwho #whotuber

Loving this set design from 'Four to Doomsday'. (1982)

I'm all caught up on Invincible. I felt like I got two season finales for the price of one... not that I'm complaining. Hell of a good series!!πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

Looks like today's a good day to reiterate my promise, that I'll continue to make my platform a safe space for all trans people. You are loved and respected.πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ #tdov

In my new vid, I talk about my expectations for the upcoming Doctor Who series... and then make another painful attempt at explaining Cybermen history. Ramblings of an ape. How can you resist?πŸ€–πŸ΅

Enjoy the Third Doctor! (DW84, Issue 2, Nov 1984)

What's your favourite classic Doctor Who TV story that features two Brigadiers but only one moustache?

Ludicrously lush visual from The Invisible Enemy, 1977.😘

The consistently sullen Wilson Fisk of the Netflix DD shows will always have a special place in my heart. However, his new emotionally unbalanced Kingpin works for me too. Adds dimension to a character struggling to operate beyond his usual thuggish comfort zone. #Daredevilbornagain

Physical copy received. πŸ₯°Already kicking myself for not taking further advantage of that Eccleston sale. Gonna treat myself to a sulk.

I think I'm down with Belinda's storyline. Not another "Who, How and Why" quest, but instead a "Get her home" quest. I really like the idea of that as a running theme throughout the series. Could potentially make Season 15 an engaging entity unto itself. #doctorwho #doctorwhotrailer #varadasethu

In this week's Ramble, I explore some examples of Doctor Who characters remembering loved ones.... or not.πŸ΅πŸ€–

Cover art for the upcoming 'Cybermen - The Ultimate Guide' book, released May 22. Loving how banged up the Cybertelosian looks. Superb image choice.πŸ€–πŸ€–

Any Imperial Triumphant fans in the house? New album slaps!!!

Well, I was very pleased indeed with my purchase. Review incoming.πŸ΅πŸ€–

I don't know what the general masses are making of DD Born Again so far, but I'm currently getting a good sense of pacing from it. I don't think there was an uninteresting moment in this week's ep, and it feels like it's building towards something big. Hope the payoff makes it all worthwhile.

Been watching a certain classic Who adventure for my next Ramble. Anthony Ainley's Master pulls arguably the most ridiculous ruse of his career in villainy. A conversation needs to be had. #doctorwho

A current sale at @bigfinish.bsky.social has piqued my interest... I guess you guys are getting more Cybermen talk in my next Weekly Ramble.πŸ΅πŸ€–

Celebrating my birthday by suffering no heretic to live. #warhammer40000boltgun

March 16th, 1982: Adric dies. March 17th, 1982: Chosen Chimp is born. And my maths is average at best. 🐡🐡 @matthewwaterhouse.bsky.social #birthday

My latest Weekly Ramble is up. Celebrating an anniversary of sorts, and reviewing a bizarre Cybermen comic... Plus a little tribute to Mr Simon Fisher Becker.πŸ€–πŸ΅

@mrtardis.bsky.social I read this and now I'm racking my brains wondering how, if at all, a one-take tracking shot Doctor Who episode could work.πŸ˜‚

Who doesn't love a goal or two to keep oneself motivated? So begins my quest to hit the big 5,000 by the end of 2025. 🐡🐡

Some of the imagery in 60's Who is simply unreal.... in the best possible way. #doctorwho

So we can post full trailers directly on to Bluesky now, can we? bgfn.sh/DW6D25Anews

Physical copy received. πŸ€–πŸ€– @bigfinish.bsky.social

The design on this fella gave me instant Kroton vibes, so naturally, I had to investigate. Thoughts in my next weekend ramble.πŸ€–πŸ΅

I don't think anyone in the show’s history said the line "DOCTOR WHO!!?!" quite as well as this guy.😒 RIP Simon Fisher-Becker.πŸ’™πŸ’™

My new catch-up vid is published. Breaking down the latest TV trailer, and giving some thoughts on the latest @bigfinish.bsky.social Cybermen story from @davidkbarnes.bsky.social πŸ€–πŸ€– Hope yall enjoy!

Another mind-blowing essay from @jessiegender.bsky.social. I am always in awe of her work.

I dig it!!! Initial thoughts coming in my weekend vid. πŸ€–πŸ€– #doctorwho #bigfinish #cybermen
