my spoof/commentary art for the Doctor Who episode "The Robot Revolution" it shows the scene near the end of the episode where the villain Alan has been de-aged to a mess on the floor and has just been cleaned up by the cleaner robot. (here replaced by me by the polishing robot from the movie "Wall-E") The 15th Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) laughs at this, saying: "Ha ha! Goodby Alan!" as his companion Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) and a robot look on. This is all happening on a television being watched by producer Russell T Davies who turns to the audience (us) and explains why they decided to have the Doctor act out of character and laugh at someone's death. It was because they wanted to give us a break from him crying all the time.

Finally, here is my own art from my own #DoctorWho calendar!

Here is my spoof/art commentary for the 2025 episode "The Robot Revolution"

Brave of RTD to make this show despite probably knowing it would kill the Disney deal. I loved it but the Climate Change Deniers will definitely not. 3/3 #TheWarBetweenTheLandAndTheSea #RTD2 #DisneyPlus #badwolf #BBCWales #DoctorWho

this is what the youths used to call "being noticed by senpai." not gonna lie to y'all, one of the best things - and there were many - about #rtd2 was watching #doctorwho: unleashed with mr steffan powell. i mention it like once an episode on the @gallifreysmwpod.bsky.social reviews

a frame from "interstellar song contest" in which the ncuti gatwa doctor and belinda turn their heads to see who is behind them. the tardis is is the background. overlay text says "the trap one podcast looks back on season 2"

the ncuti gatwa season 2 / #rtd2 retrospective episode of the popular @trapone.bsky.social #doctorwho podcast is one of the best i've ever done. mark could not have chosen better or more thoughtful panelists than simon and bryn. thanks for listening and sharing!

if this is the end of #rtd2, he brought exactly the post "years and years" / "it's a sin" big, philosophical issue-rooted drama style i hoped for to #doctorwho. the stand-alone eps were full of contemporary, ripped-from-the-headlines social and political ideas that were really ripe for discussion.

i have been lucky to be invited on several podcasts over the last few years, but the two i've done this week - rod's "nostalgia tours" on "flux," and the s2 ncuti / #rtd2 reflection ep of @trapone.bsky.social - have been two of the richest and most rewarding conversations i've had about #doctorwho.

#ncutigatwa season 2! the #rtd2 era! the conversation that bryn, simon, mark, and i had was almost too broad and too deep for a #doctorwho podcast! i was floored by the sincerity, passion, and depth these folks brought to the popular @trapone.bsky.social podcast! all of you at home will love it!

ON SCREEN 1, 2, War, 9, 14 and 15 are the only Doctors not to have faced The Master.
3, 8, War, 9, 14, and 15 are the only ones not to have faced The CybermeN.
8, 14, and 15 are the only ones not to have faced The Daleks.

Poor Ncuti :(
