Bigger On The Inside has “I say, I may have had a bang on the head but this is a dashed queer story.”, the Victorian era is a perfect match for Doctor Who. It is often said that the Doctor dresses in clothes that are reminiscent of that era, at least he did until his 9th incarnation (but even he dressed for the period as shown in one of the old photos Clive found), but so is his basic nature.....

Classical Gallifrey has Serial 146: The Ultimate Foe - The Trial of a Time Lord Part IV, if you count The Trial of a Time Lord as one giant serial of fourteen parts and disregard the four-story structure of it, Trial of a Time Lord is the longest Doctor Who story of all time and this last two parter is the thing that puts it over the edge, I don't want to talk too much about the actual dynamics behind this story here because they work a little bit better as we get into it, but I can't really talk about the finale of this epicness without going into the gritty details of the behind-the-scenes, which I find terribly fascinating....
The Edwardian Adventurer has 056 – Conspiracy (The Romans Part 4), comedic hijinks ensue as Nero becomes smitten with Barbara. Meanwhile, The Doctor must prepare for his second lyre performance, this episode is the most out-and-out comedic so far. Nero is portrayed as a ravenous womanizer and much of this episode is spent with him chasing after Barbara. This portrayal is a bit off. In reality, Nero is not portrayed as the true Nero, but more of a caricature of Roman Imperial excesses....
Doc Oho's Big Finish audios reviews has The Companion Chronicles: Frostfire, what a fascinating place to start the companion chronicles. I really like Vicki and her departure is one of the least celebrated and yet best written in the series (because the episodes aren’t available to watch). It’s intriguing to here more about her life since she left the Doctor in ancient Troy and wonderful to find out that although there is nobody to talk to about her travels, she is happy. Maureen O’Brien obviously sounds older (and she is supposed to) but she is still effortlessly Vicki. She once tried to explain elevators to Troilus but he didn’t understand…that’s what you get for marrying a Greek Adonis!....Outer Space Book and a Pick of the Tweets...
