Woke up feeling very lurgified this morning. It finally got me after running through my house twice over the last couple of months. Uuugggghhh. Hey ho.

Join Jim and I for one last time ( in this era anyway) as we wrap up our thoughts, feelings and overall perspectives on Jodie and Chris's era of Doctor Who! And a huge thank you to all of you who have joined us on our intrepid journey thus far! 😊

I got to podcast with @lucymccaul.bsky.social and @quarkmcmalus.bsky.social ! Had such fun recording this and listening to the audiobook!

Don’t forget there are TWO episodes to catch up on this week. Firstly there’s Jeff and I discussing Jodie’s final story, and secondly Ian and I chatting all things Flux! And tomorrow we’re saying a final farewell to 13…🌈 @jeffgoddard.bsky.social @ianwinterton.bsky.social anchor.fm/drwho-whats-...

The last two Dalek pages by Ron Turner, completed before his death in 1998. What an extraordinary command of design and colour. An exceptional talent. #comics #Daleks

Thats the first time ive cheered sports! 💪

Some of you may recall that by merging two different stereos a few months back in made a beast. Frankenstein's Hi-fi if you will.... ...well ive just levelled it up and extended its operational capabilities by adding a Blu-Tooth receiver for it!! I no longer need my last phone with a jack port.

Can feel a Scavengers Reign rewatch coming on. Beautiful, beautiful Science Fiction.

Every once in a while I'm reminded of how spell-bindingly beautiful the visuals were in the Jodie Whittaker run of #DoctorWho.

I spent all afternoon talking about our accounting and reconciling at work and then remembered i have 18 years to retirement. Ffs.

I just saw an ad for a website selling Vintage movie posters and the poster they used was... The Fellowship of the Ring! 😭😭 Fucking Vintage. Aaagh. Im old.

The SPEAKER implies. The LISTENER infers. The DUDE abides.

I think the picture is of the right place, but it was a long time ago! The Foundry in Birmingham, 21st August 96. Lagwagon on the Hoss tour.

We did the Terrifier triple last week, so this week another iconic horror franchise. Just finished 28 weeks later and it was much better than I remembered, so 28 years later is up next. Boom.

Well this is (sort of) it for for the Jodie era. Join Jim and I as we brace ourselves for the end. Is this the specialist special? Is it derivative or a beautiful homage to the entire history of the show? And will Jim and I make it through without blubbing our hearts out?? Join us here to find out!

Trigger warning ⚠️ I am a survivor of childhood SA. I would ask that if you still are on twitter to please reconsider. I totally get using the platform to promote, keep an eye on things or to stay in contact with folk... but please reconsider. Real abuse, fake abuse... its abuse by abusers.

Whats your #ChildhoodCinema The first picture is the Odeon, where I saw Return of the Jedi. (I also saw the Phantom Menace there too, absolutely tripping balls. The carpet inside was the high point) The second shows the ABC, where I saw He-Man, the Rock Lords and animated transformers film.

I've been watching Last Samurai Standing on Netflix, and the fight sequence in episode four is quite frankly mind boggling, especially a really nice one take looking shot moving amongst all the action. Ridiculously good work.

One of my faves, with quite possibly the best soundtrack everrrrr!

There’s still time to listen to Ian, Jeff and I chatting about Legend. How do we believe Covid affected the story? Was it edited heavily or was it lack of footage? Is Dan channeling Steven Taylor? And did that Sea Devil call the doctor a “twat”…? 🤔 And tomorrow…it’s the end (almost).

There were 3 TV channels. They were your options, and most of them closed for the night.

And thusly, part of the essential DNA of the show we love was born.

Figured it was time to do my semi regular re-listen to the Rivers of London audio books, which are a pure joy! ❤️

Peak Doctor Who. 💕

Starting the year with a finish! The jodie and Chris era comes to an end with three final episodes from Jim, and myself and the lovely Ian and Jim in a flux recap/review!

Its a 'stuffs I loves' playlist on the youtubes music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

#5DebutAlbums9094 Sugar - Copper Blue Doesn’t feel like a debut album, does it. But then Bob Mould was already a seasoned veteran who had reinvented hardcore in the 80s and was about to help define alt-rock in the 90s.

Im only a few hours in and bored to tears with saying and writing Happy New Year already.

I really want to get rid of Spotify and thinking of moving the fam plan over to YouTube premium and music... any experiences or recommendations??

The lovely Ian rejoins Jim and I to explore fishy goings on, Pirates and other such malarkey. Is this the episode that shows the strain of Covid measures? In an era where Jim and I have been effusively positive, is this where we stumble?? Why not listen here to find out!?

Treated myself today with some Christmas money. As I recently got a new blu ray player I thought it high time I expanded my collection. 😊

Happy 2026 all. Here's to this year not being the same as the last few, cos damn, we deserve an easy one.

Somewhat fittingly on the last day of 2025 Jim and I have just wrapped up recording our last Jodie era commentary. I just want to thank Jim, firstly for inviting me on to do this, and all of you kindly souls who have listened, commented and supported our little passion project.

Thank you to the lovely @frakturedboy.bsky.social, for welcoming me back onto What’s In The Box? earlier this year & his superb series of 13th Doctor commentaries with @jeffgoddard.bsky.social, a combination which - it bears repeating - was among 2025's most unexpectedly wonderful surprises for me.
