I'm really enjoying the @Toohotfor_TV eps on Torchwood, discovering spin off media I never thought possible!
But mostly, it's confirming that - Children of Earth aside - I'm really quite indifferent to Torchwood.
Regular guest Will Hadcroft reminisces about the Blackpool Doctor Who exhibition
A lovely little video (16 minutes) where I relate my fond memories of the 1980s #DoctorWho Exhibition in #Blackpool. Thanks to my American friend Alex for wanting to capture it.

Southern Daily Echo previewing the 3rd (or 4th, if you include Dumb Martian) Out of this World play, Cold Equations, starring Peter Wyngarde and Jane Asher. Boris Karloff introduced each play. The pic here is cropped, so its difficult to tell which of the plays it's from.
