‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: build your own Lego TARDIS
Andrew Summersgill really likes the TARDIS. And Legos. So he builds all sorts of Lego TARDISes and puts them into scenarios and photographs them and posts them to flickr. He’ll even show you how to build your own Lego TARDIS… complete with video instructions.

trailer break: ‘A Little Bit of Heaven’

trailer break: ‘NEDs’
Looks dark and dreary and grim: that is to say, Scottish.
‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: Bill Bailey plays all the music ever from ‘Doctor Who’

watch it: 1970s Fritos commercial
I forgot I remembered that jingle — “Muncha buncha, muncha buncha Fritos go with lunch” — until I heard it again here.
