‘Doctor Who’ blogging: “The Next Doctor”

“Boy, boy! What day is it?” “Why, it’s new Doctor Who day, sir!” “I say, lad, run down to the Internet for me and pick up the fattest AVI upload of the new episode you can find! There’s an extra half crown in it for you if you can get it for me before Boxing Day!”
