Many years ago, before DVD, one way to relive old episodes of Doctor Who — if you hadn’t obsessively recorded them when broadcast, like I did — was to read the Target Books novelizations.

Cardiff is standing in for 1960s New York City. How convincingly can this be accomplished? Not too well, I’m guessing…

“Peace cunt”: hate mail I love

Tue, Oct 26, 2010

The charming thoughtfulness of a guy who would wish my peace while also calling me a cunt simply defies the protocols of etiquette. He didn’t need to take that extra step: he did so out of the generosity of his spirit.

no comments yet

Reader Martin sent me an email over the weekend with the subject line: ‘8th Doctor’s new costume.’
