Did you know they’ve never done a Doctor Who story where he meets Joan of Arc? I was surprised too.

This Valentine’s day, my wife gave me toys. I gave her a broken television (I mean, by accident. I assume it was not broken when I bought it).

Here’s another from the Big Finish collection, because having gone to the trouble of having a template…

Yeah. this was going to be a lot cleverer when it was the first one I had planned. And then all sorts of everyone had to go and die. Stupid mortality.

This is rapidly becoming too much of a downer. I wouldn’t have done this one, except that inspiration hit.

Continue reading Tales from /lost+found 44: That’s all, folks.

Yeah, I wasn’t going to keep doing this, but I said to someone, “I was worried it was turning into a running gag,” and they said, “Yeah, but is it funny?”

I don’t know either. But people have been trying to work out if Abe Vigoda was dead for longer than I’ve been alive. Exactly what I wanted to be reminded of right around my birthday.

These things are basically the reason I learned to read by the time I was three. Far as I know, there never was a classic-era Doctor Who Read-along book. This has now been corrected.

I know what the more cynical among you might say about the design of the Cybermen. But obviously, it’s not just a shameless rip-off of Iron Man. There’s a bit of Star-Lord in there too.

Well shit. I’m burning through a lot of material here.

There’s been persistent rumors since the ’70s (or was it the ’80s?) of someone somehow persuading the Thin White Duke to do something related to Doctor Who, so it just made sense with his passing to do this kind of tribute. And then Alan Rickman died, and I thought, “You know, Alan Rickman should have had some connection to the Doctor Who universe as well.” But now this is starting to turn into a running gag, which isn’t what I wanted. But I didn’t want Dan Haggerty to, uh, feel left out. If that makes sense (it doesn’t).

Honestly, Grizzly Adams doesn’t mean a lot to me. Statistically speaking, I’ve probably seen it, since its reruns tended to air in syndication along with The Greatest American Hero, but I don’t remember.

But you know, what the hell.

Damn. I wasn’t expecting to have to do something like this again so soon. Fuck cancer. You go kill it, Joe Biden.

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I’ve always kinda wanted Alan Rickman to play Avon in a big-screen adaptation of Blake’s 7. But this’ll have to do. Check below the fold for the back cover blurb…
