Picture of the Day - Doctor Who Muppets

Paul Cornell is one of the writers on the latest season of Doctor Who (he does other stuff as well), and his blog is always a nice read. But part of his post today, and the accompanying picture, is gorgoeous.

I’m the Doctor…

Can I write about Doctor Who now? Good. I’m utterly amazed at the first three episodes in Season 29, now running on the BBC. And I’m even more utterly amazed at the zeitgeist building up around a TV series that had it’s debut episode on the day after the shooting of JFK. What’s more amazing […]
