Hi @gossjam.bsky.social, you're listed as an animator for the 2003 webcast of Shada, and I was wondering, could you humour me and tell me how the idea of a Kylie Minogue music video parody came about?

I'd go with Invasion of the Dinosaurs solely because of Sarah Jane's insanely on-point drip throughout

It all makes sense now.

*Me, trying to be mysterious.* Them: I know so little about you. The only thing I know is you like Doctor Who. Me; *Thinking*: Shit. They know my entire personality.

No context TARDIS wiki

I've not drawn in ages so I thought I'd give drawing Season 11 Sarah Jane Smith a go. Not perfect by any means, but not particularly bad I don't think — I had to actually measure her face to try to get things right.

A fun fact about Shakedown; it was actually filmed on a battle ship (and starred Carole Ann Ford).

I always forget about that weird part in Doomsday where The Doctor disguises himself as a GP to confuse a Cyberman, like Shaggy and Scooby would in an episode of Scooby Doo.

The ominous guy in the background is spooking me out. He looks like he’s photoshopped in and my brain is going haywire because of it. Now I’m tempted to submit a bunch of shots to this account one day and photoshop something into the background of one just to see if @jess-tctnd.bsky.social notices.

If they do a colourised version of it — instead of calling it 'The Tenth Planet in Colour' — they should just call it 'The Ninth Planet'.

Occasionally — pressing the 'random page' button on TARDIS.wiki just brings you to a sentence which sounds like the sort of thing I say when I'm drunk.

Once again thinking of that one cool looking autistic secret agent of the Time Lords — with a secret phobia of squirrels — who was married to an agender alien that destroyed their home planet and a parallel version of Earth; from a series of spin-off books about a seventh Doctor Companion.

Honestly, I forgot how much The Crystal Conundrum feels like a genuine trip (drug, not cruise). For example

Charley Pollard was meant to crash the R101 into the house of Maggie Thatcher before she could become a politician, but The Doctor fucked it up.

No wonder Disney didn’t renew Doctor Who if this was the sort of stuff Russ was spending his budget on.

Later on, in the Eleventh Hour, it's revealed that the TARDIS has a swimming pool of it's own. This retroactively implies that — judging by her obsession with the pool in 'Paradise Towers' — Mel thinks the TARDIS pool is shit.

Are there any non-TV writers that you reckon would write a god-tier Doctor Who episode?

I remember excitedly telling my Mum about how the covers for ‘The Resurrection Casket’ and ‘The Stone Rose’ both used different (edited) photos from the same publicity shoot and she booked me in for an autism assessment.

ROGUE! WHERE ARE YOUR ORGANS ROGUE?! YOU'RE GOING TO DIE ROGUE! YOU NEED ORGANS ROGUE!

Only Labour can beat Reform at losing 25% of the vote in a constituency that includes an area that has been a Labour stronghold since 1935.

The Doctor looks like he’s judging me for spending the 2 quid buying 11 Freddos instead of the book.

A Doctor Who episode where The Doctor goes to the 1980s, and says ‘the 1980s! I remember when I met Sarah Jane Smith while working for UNIT in the 1980s! That’s right, the 1980s and not the 1970s!’ before leaving and going somewhere else.

If Jon Pertwee had a pure historical episode, Jo would mention it being a nice change not having to fight a monster before The Doctor lifts her chin up with his finger and says 'That's where you're wrong Jo. The bourgeoisie are the true monsters in life.' before promptly karate chopping a politician

Love how Sarah Jane looks like she’s casually stopping the Doctor from giving some random person a total beat down.

Damn, the TARDIS wiki has a whole page dedicated to Kate Stewart and Christofer Ibrahim's relationship.

"Hey Peter, remind me, what was that hand gesture that Steve Ditko liked to draw when he worked for Marvel comics?" Peter Capaldi:

Just saw this, and it made me realise that I genuinely learned about the n-word and how serious it was from — I kid you not — that one episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures where Clyde Langer is called a variation of it by a Nazi. It was cut out on iPlayer, so I’m not sure if the original exists.

It’s really interesting watching an element of the UK/US divide that I’d never considered before unfolding in real time.

The exchange; DOCTOR: Has this phantom piper appeared to Jamie yet? POLLY: You don't believe it, do you? DOCTOR: No, but he does. It's important to him. Changed the way I look at beliefs. I used to call people out on their superstition, but it made me realise — if it brings comfort — why should I?

Absolutely Exquisite.

I'm trying to watch K9 and Company with some tea and biscuits on mute so I don't wake up my roommate, but for some reason I can't work out how to get Ceefax on my PC, so I can't use subtitles. 😞

If Snake is one of the world’s greatest stealth infiltrators, then why do I keep getting caught?

If I was a Doctor Who show runner, I’d do that thing where you cast a huge guest star, but in a way that shows my obvious utter contempt for when TV shows cast huge guest stars for no reason.

If anyone is curious, as per tardis.guide 's weighted rating system, the top five stories are... 1. Heaven Sent (Peter Capaldi) 2. The Chimes of Midnight (Paul McGann) 3. Midnight (David Tennant) 4. World Enough and Time (Peter Capaldi) 5. A Death in the Family (Sylvester McCoy)

I bet he’s still got a bit of a love life.

It’s back on HMV!

The Doctor Who Movie 4K Steelbook is already sold out.

For no reason, the regional names for 'Doctor Who: The TV Movie'; Finland - 1999 World Destruction Czech Republic - Fighting Time Thailand - Dr. Who Opened the Door to the Century Hong Kong - Time and Space Murder Egypt - Doctor Who The mysterious man Japan - Doctor Who

Me typing 'Liz Sladen' into the GIF search for this one specific GIF I like — only to discover I can't find it because I've inadvertently saturated the search with 25 GIFs of Sarah from 'K9 & Company', 3 from 'Invasion of the Dinosaurs', 70 from 'The Time Warrior', & 1 from 'The Monster of Peladon'.

Allow me to explain: Old guy with a magic box kidnaps teachers. Old guy tries to kill a caveman with a big rock. Over the next sixty-three years, things get increasingly out of hand for old guy.

Sure, a 4k Doctor Who TV Movie release is great and all, but where is the 4k release of these pieces of peak wilderness years material?

People be like 'The Third Doctor is the Tory Doctor' and meanwhile, in the actual show The Third Doctor keeps giving the Brigadier paraphrasings of Friedrich Engels' against his will:

Do you think River Song ever comes up with a reply to an argument in the shower then travels back in time to deliver it just after her past self had left the room?

Occasionally I remember the scene from Empire of Death that goes: *Looking at Tom Baker and Liz Sladen* RUBY: And who were they? That woman and the man with the hair? DOCTOR: They just... travelled in the Tardis. I feel like it'd have been more in character to say something along the lines of:

I prefer the prequel before they broke up — Calibur.

My friend has found out that she can be easily entertained by sending me badly informed Doctor Who takes from Twitter and watching me internally scream with the knowledge that I can’t correct them.

Desperately hoping that person who bought a moogerfooger emulator to perfectly do accurate Dalek impressions sees this and decides to do the funniest thing.
