Current listening: Jago & Litefoot pilot audio episode

This one is staying at home on CD. This was the reduced cast Doctor Who Companion Chronicles release for Jago and Litefoot, which was such a success Big Finish then produced an ongoing full cast series. This pilot story is out of print on CD, but still available to buy in audio download (DRM free) for £2.99. From Big Finish directly.

Doctor Who: Dot and Bubble

Very powerful episode. The message was possibly too subtly done. I’m now explaining things that Martin had missed. But yes, a thought provoking episode, including tackling an issue that I had thought more likely to be addressed in a different context. And yes, this was very much a Black Mirror episode of Doctor Who.

Now watching Doctor Who Unleashed, and astonished that the first thing of Doctor Who that Ncuti Gatwa filmed was the closing scene of tonight’s Dot and Bubble episode. He was fantastic, and that was such a powerful scene.

A recurring thing in Doctor Who this year

Going slightly scatty with this, cos my husband isn't noticing this. I want to talk about it! I will put more details in spoiler space. This is just for up to the episodes that have aired 2023 onwards through to today, but if you've missed this recurring thing it may be new info. Which you either want to know or don't. So open the spoiler cut with care. spoilers )

Coding plans for June

With a new month it's time for me to start looking at revamping my IFComp interactive fiction / text adventure game. I've had fab feedback from the initial playtesters, and want to make lots of key changes before final playtesting in July, before the competition in August. Maybe start Monday though!
