Years ago, back when the Internet was less than half its present size, I used to go and meet the stars of Doctor Who and try to stand back to back with them. Over the next few weeks I'm going to share some of those photos from the Si Hart Camps It Up With The Stars archives.

Maybe it's a symptom of my mental state right now but I actually don't care what anyone else thought about Doctor Who. All that matters to me is that I really, really enjoyed it.

People who like Doctor Who are perpetually wanting to cancel Doctor Who because it's not like everything else in TV or film. It's very tiring and I just want Doctor Who to continue because I really love Doctor Who. So there.

Just watched Part 4 of Caves of Androzani. I think there's a good case for it being the single greatest episode of classic Doctor Who there is. It doesn't let up for a second and builds and builds to the Doctor saving his friend and giving his life. Astonishingly good episode.

Anyone who says Tom Baker wasn't committed in Season 18 should watch Full Circle more carefully. His fury at the Deciders is magnificent and one of the 4th Doctor's finest moments. It should be talked about more. He's phenomenal.

This is exactly the kind of thing I heard in libraries all the time. People look down on many genres as somehow not worthwhile reading from romance to graphic novels to sci fi. It doesn't matter what you read. It's not a competition. Read what you like and don't worry about it.

GUYS! Sci fi is for children. It is a YA genre. Doesn’t mean it’s not good or whatever but you should grow up a little. Same for Tolkien and Lovecraft and all the rest. It’s great but it’s for the kids.
