I'm hoping for anything from Season 3 - OR Wheel in Space, so we can get the Collection Season 5 out <3

Finally finished the #DoctorWho Season 13 Collection set - and I do think, story-wise, the season is a little overhyped...
Terror of the Zygons; 8/10
Planet of Evil; 7/10
Pyramids of Mars; 7/10
The Android Invasion; 4/10
The Brain of Morbius; 9/10
The Seeds of Doom; 10/10
5 underrated
- The Web Planet
- The Mutants
- Time-Flight
- The Twin Dilemma
- Paradise Towers
5 overrated
- Image of the Fendahl (but not by much)
- Four to Doomsday
- Snakedance (again, not by much)
- Planet of Fire
- The Curse of Peladon

when you've got to pick from 3 books which one to take with you to go to Norway this weekend - and you're just not sure!
Death at the White Hart by Chris Chibnall
11.22.63 by Stephen King
Phantom by Jo Nesbo
yeah, no, this is genuinely one of the most abysmal top ten lists I've ever seen. Genesis is worthy of a place, that's it.
73 Yards is one of my absolute worst episodes ever (for personal reasons, all it did was remind me of sh*tty secondary school memories)

you a knob? rubbish!
you're an amazing person, Cliff - some Who opinions aside <3
i mean, i love the Web Planet but that could work <3
I generally find the recuts of old Who's beyond the pale but I'm wondering if s colourful, tighter and rescored Web Planet might finally get people to see it for the rather wonderful thing it is.
i was genuinely not expecting it - ended up finding out through an email from HMV!
Have pre-ordered, but my concerns stretch to both the upscaling and the fact that as i've mentioned before, S21 is probably my least favourite of the entire show - hoping to be proven wrong
must be the only #DoctorWho fan who thinks McTighe would be a great showrunner.
I'll concede Praxeus is flawed - but Lucky Day criticises right-wing conspiracy theorists, whilst Kerblam! is criticising automation, AI and corporations abusing it's workforce.
Oh and his Bluray work is amazing!
Genuinely baffled at people who think The Interstellar Song Contest is the worst episode of #DoctorWho.
Like, it's not great, but I can count a ton more far worse episodes from 2005 onwards alone.
Shakespeare Code, Kill the Moon, Revolution of the Daleks, 73 Yards...
I have a few..
- Demons of the Punjab through to It Takes You Away is an under-rated run of NuWho episodes that deserves more credit
- RTD finales, with the odd exception, aren't great
- Colin's first season as the Doctor is tremendous.
- Bi-generation is not as good as the Timeless Child
#DoctorWho
I might well get mine in exactly 30 day's time - HMV always seem to post it the weekend before; makes a decent change from having to wait for Amazon to try and post it to me days AFTER it's release..
I got the intention of S1 and S2 of Picard - but they were absolute slogs to get through! I do like how S3 retconned them into helping re-establish the character of Picard; S3 was absolutely brilliant, so many wonderful moments.
"You treat her like a lady, and she'll always bring you home"
it's pretty good all things considered - I still rank Discovery higher, because of it's open willingness to discuss mental health and showcase the importance of second chances. It's different Trek, but still Trek.
Honestly, I'd adore a crossover between this and Who, that quote in S3 finale was <3
so last night, I was extremely lucky to get to attend Billie Eilish's first Manchester concert of her #HitMeHardAndSoft tour - just feeling so warm over it all <3
Mat Irvine?
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not feeling this one :(
Partly still not mentally there because of the awful Liverpool FC news (RIP Diogo), but also because I'll never not be bummed out that Tom's best season (The Key to Time) is being left for last... #DoctorWho
So the New York Times has given people the option to create their own BEST FILMS OF THE 21st CENTURY list - i finally got to give it a crack myself, very proud of it. Link in the next post if you want to make your own!
#NewYorkTimesBestFilmsofthe21stCentury
Legend of Ruby Sunday was genuinely brilliant, but let down by really bad exposition. Empire of Death... less so. Wishworld/Reality had it's moments, but was really incoherent.
I may been Chibnall-biased, but I'm openly wondering if Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos is actually better than both
has it ACTUALLY been a year since I met Jodie?? <3 #DoctorWho
And lastly... it may have taken me far too long - but I finally got to meet the smegging hologram!
(But all seriousness, Chris Barrie was absolutely wonderful!)
I was not expecting Em-Con to have Derek Thompson - aka Charlie from Casualty!! Casualty was something I always loved growing up, and whilst I did find myself falling out of love for it as I got older, my love for Charlie remained constant!
How lovely to finally meet him โค๏ธ
The next two Em-Con guests were David Bradley and Jemma Redgrave! Had a laugh with Jemma over our early wake-up calls (she was 04-50, I was 06-00) and David gave me some lovely advice that has always served him well โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
Two new signatures for my Jodie Specials steelbook โค๏ธ
#DoctorWho
The second guest I had hoped to meet on Em-Con had been Tom Rosenthal - but he switched to Sunday only, a few days before the convention.
Spoke to staff, got a free replacement.
Went with Tyger Drew Honey, from Outnumbered!
went to Nottingham on the Saturday just gone, for East Midlands Comic Con <3
met a variety of guests - first up being Kris Marshall from My Family!
#DoctorWho over the last 10 years have provided some wonderfully fresh/unique stories - Heaven Sent, Extremis, ITYA, Tesla, Eve, WBY, Dot and Bubble, Lux, Story, need I go on?
I don't think RTD needs to go, but he really needs to let go of the past
