Doctor Who thing: the announcement of a new Doctor didn’t used to be a big deal

Wed, Aug 07, 2013

Doctor Who thing: Peter Capaldi, teenaged Doctor Who geek

Doctor Who thing: and the 12th Doctor is… Peter Capaldi

Doctor Who thing: audition scripts for would-be 12th Doctors

Doctor Who thing: read my zine The Cricketer online
