Here we go, people - it's

in a newspaper. Look at the pics! What an amazing read it is too!
A wee bit of digging involved, but here we go -

Today's
@bigfinish
#DoctorWho
fact of the day.
When Benedict Cumberbatch recorded his role as Howard Carter in 45, he came to the studio on his motorbike... and had the script for the
#Sherlock
pilot episode in his bag. Isn't life strange? Or is it...
#DoctorStrange
This place can be a cesspit at times.
This morning, almost every tweet is about William Russell. I met him once, and he couldn't have been more lovely.
Vale, Mr Chesterton.
Just heard my friend Hamish Wilson, the other Jamie from
#DoctorWho
The Mind Robber, has passed away.
Genuinely upset. He was amazing company. Rest in peace.
Here's some exclusive
#DoctorWho
pictures taken for David Tennant and Billie Piper's visit to Glasgow to promote Tooth and Claw, back in 2006.
(I was at the press call - they were lovely! First time I met RTD too) 1/2
It's time for a
#DoctorWho
trivial fact from the
@BigFinish
universe!
We all know that David Tennant played the Tenth Doctor, but this wasn't his first experience of playing a Time Lord. In 2003, he'd played one in Unbound: Exile!
The lovely Alex Mallinson has shared with us his work in progress, to create the final cover image for the
@BigFinish
story Solitaire.
Give the latest
@PiecesOfEighth
episode a listen, to find out more! We're joined by Alex and writer
@MrJohnDorney
Eighth Doctor rumour update.
Having spoken with a couple of my very well-placed contacts, I am pretty confident in saying this is all speculation and based on hopes and ideas.
It isn't happening, in my view. And I want it more than anyone!
It's not the oldest BF stuff, but here's a celebration of the start of the Eighth Doctor Adventures. As if I would miss the chance to share my love of Sheridan...
AND IT'S ONLY BLOOMIN' HAYLEY ATWELL! It's amazing to think she did
@bigfinish
before heading to join the
#MCU
I haven't shared many of my rare pics in a while, so... here we go! David Tennant and Billie Piper, pictured in Glasgow, launching series two of

Everyone, I have a friend who I mention every now and again. They were in a mess at the start of lockdown, and have turned things around, big style.
They are now 200 days sober - could I please have a wee cheer? They will see this - hugely appreciated.
Some
@bigfinish
#DoctorWho
trivia for your Thursday.
Did you know that Hayley Atwell - Peggy Carter from Captain America - played Asha in Blood of the Daleks?
Or that her character was originally called Yarvelling (the name of the Dalek creator in TV Century 21 comic?).
A bored young shop worker named Rose,
Was hacked off with just stacking clothes.
The Doctor said "Run!",
Which started their fun.
And that was the life that she chose.
Bonus
@bigfinish
#DoctorWho
trivia for
#SaveTheDay
After John Hurt agreed to reprise the War Doctor, Jacqueline Pearce and Carolyn Seymour were deliberately cast so he would have some actors he already knew, in the cast.
Time for another exciting
@BigFinish
#DoctorWho
trivial fact!
Did you know that Her Final Flight was originally intended as a Seventh Doctor story, rather than the Sixth? A cover was even created for it by Stuart Manning.
Share your sad real life
#DoctorWho
confessions.
As I was anaesthetised to get my brain tumour out, my last thoughts were... "I am not human... I am not like you..."
So glad no one knew... Until now!
So. These Eighth Doctor rumours.
The source of the story has been reliable in the past in terms of what they have shared - and it's proven to be largely correct.
Do I know anything? No. Do I believe this source? I'm not sure. Do I want to? Of course!
#DoctorWho
28 years ago today, the
#DoctorWho
TV Movie was given its first UK broadcast - how did you watch it?
Did you go to a pub, like I did, and watch it with other fans?
Who doesn't love seeing rare
#DoctorWho
photos? (Well, non-fans, one assumes...)
So here's some of Tom Baker and the beautiful, much-missed Mary Tamm - 1
The evenings after both my parents died, I watched The Five Doctors, my comfort blanket
#DoctorWho
. It took me back to a happier time, recorded on the V2000 in 1983. Thank you,
#TerranceDicks
. I will be watching it later tonight.
You can access Vortex magazine through the
@BigFinish
website. I only have three people blocked, including The Time Scales, for saying untruths and vile things about my friends.
To the people complaining it's been more than a year since the cliffhanger in
#DoctorWho
The Power of the Doctor...
Try being a
@bigfinish
fan with the brilliant cliffhanger to Neverland by
@senrab_nala
and waiting 17 months for the resolution!
Your
@bigfinish
trivial fact of the day.
Michelle Gomez made her
#DoctorWho
debut in Valhalla with Sylvester Mccoy, years before appearing in Deep Breath as Missy.
Her CD extras interview is a joy to behold BTW...
This is my new external drive. It now has every Big Finish release, ever, on it. Doctor Who, Torchwood, Sapphire & Steel, you name it. Look how wee it is!
This year, I hope that we get a documentary about the making of one of the best making of
#DoctorWho
documentaries ever... Thirty Years of Thirty Years in the TARDIS.
