Forthcoming Doctor Who spin-off, The War Between the Land and the Sea, is to be scored by Mission: Impossible and His Dark Materials composer Lorne Balfe. Good to see an established musician join the brand. filmmusicreporter.com/2025/05/30/l...

Williamson’s Tunnels and the heritage centre were obviously a massive part/influence for our Flux series of Doctor Who. Would be amazing if the Who community shared this appeal widely and/or were able to help before this looming deadline. See below and please RT!

Our Adrian has made it onto today's #DoctorWhoMagazine letter page (he's becoming a regular!). Well done, Adrian! Thanks for plugging the group, and hope Doris the BBC Radio Merseyside Dalek didn't exterminate you too much.

Possibly the most important skeet of the day. All the way from Grimbald... www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdzT...

This is a joyful radio programme about #DoctorWho inclusivity in the programme and fandom. Available to listen to via BBC Soubds for the next five weeks. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... Well done to producer Jamie Griffiths. Additional information here: goldencatstudios.co.uk/doctor-who-t...

This afternoon! From 2pm, upstairs in The Higher Room at The Ship & Mitre, Dale Street, Liverpool.

One song that didn't make the cut for this Saturday's Who-rovision Song Contest at our Back to the Ship! meeting is this cover of You Really Got Me, made of BT landline text messages when Tom Baker was the guest voice. Proceeds from the single went to Shelter. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQlc...
