Rewatching Doctor Who: The Snowmen

Continuing my Matt Smith rewatch and it was time for this festive episode. ( spoilers )

I was trying to decide if this episode or the previous one - The Angels Take Manhattan - was my favourite Eleventh Doctor one. I oscillate between the two. But right now I'd go with this one. Magical festive set Who, with a fresh introduction for the Doctor, a sparkly Doctor-companion repartee, and added Paternoster Gang. Not exactly typical Matt Smith era Who, but I just love it.

No (or very little) streaming

Finally going through the printed Edinburgh Book Festival Programme, and hugely disappointed by how few events this year are offering streaming paid tickets. I’ve enjoyed many of their talks remotely in recent years. This feels like a real step back, discriminating against people who can’t attend in person.

On plus, having realised how few of the Edinburgh Book Festival events this year are offering streaming, I can very quickly go through the programme. No need to read all the event listings, looking for those I like. I can just look for the few with a livestream tag under them. Sheesh!
