Look. I'm sorry I haven't posted anything since well before Christmas... but I've been busy. Busy with real life stuff and nonsense. Yes, I've still been tweeting bits and bobs but not actually updating the blog.
Well, here I am and with a free few hours to bring things up to date.
First up is something to memorialise the life of former Dr Who show-runner Steven Moffat. And, ironically for a writer who first coined the phrase 'timey-wimey', it's a clock.
Don't worry he's not dead. The folk who make these things will produce tat like this at the drop of a hat. So I'v done that as well...
Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. Regular visitors to this blog will know my fascination with "Official Doctor Who Collectors' Items". You know the stuff - plates, teddy bears, chess sets, table lamps etc...
Richard Bignell [@NothingLane] - who should be familiar to Doctor Who fans from his 'Now & Then' features on the BBC Doctor Who DVDs and from being one of DWm's original 'Time Team' tweeted a scan of a 1965 BBC memo from Sydney Newman. In it, Newman thanked the "Asst. to H.B.Tel.E" (?) for a list of merchandise based on his beloved Doctor Who. He was, however, disappointed to discover that a licenced cuckoo clock was not on the list... "Where are they?" he asked.
Well, Mr. Newman... Over fifty years late but here they are.
Or rather an artist's impression...
