Happily bleating away in the footsteps of rangerishot and having just enjoyed The Day of the Doctor 50th Anniversary special (twice!) plus An Adventure in Space and Time, a surprisingly good drama on the early days of Doctor Who with David Bradley (Argus Filch, Walder Frey in GOT plus many, many excellent roles) as William Hartnell, how could I not do this ( Read more... )

Sorry if it seems I'm spamming you, but but I think this is a great idea and long overdue.
