30 Days of Doctor Who

30 Days of Dr Who Blogging Challenge

30 Days of Doctor Who blogging challenge I adapted from one I found on Tumblr.



#01 - Your Favourite Who Quote

Dr Who quote from Hypable


#02 - Your Favourite Classic Series Episode

The Dæmons serial from season eight was awesome. I love the whole idea of pagan revivals / survivals - I'm a big fan of it all, from the original Wickerman to the amazing Children of the Stones - so I couldn't help but enjoy this one.

Dr Who The Dæmons


#03 - Your Favourite New Series Episode

Any that feature Strax, Jenny, and / or Madame Vastra.

Doctor Who - Strax, Jenny and Madame Vastra


#04 - Your Favourite Doctor

I can never decide! I really liked Capaldi as the Doctor - I just didn't care much for the stories they put him in.

Peter Capaldi


#05 - Your Favourite Companion

Ace! She's cool but still very relatable.

Dr Who Ace


#06 - Character Who Should Have Been A Companion

Strax. He should just be the star of the show, full stop.

Doctor Who - Strax


#07 - Your Favourite Piece of Music

It's got to be The Timelords with Doctorin' the Tardis. It was a number one hit in the UK in June 1988. :)



#08 - A Who-Related Photo That Makes You Happy

Anything about Capaldi's formative days as Glasgow's biggest Who fan puts a smile on my face.

#09 - A Character Who Doesn't Get Enough Love

Runcible the Fatuous! He was a presenter with Gallifreyan news channel Public Register Video and went to school with the Doctor. The exchange between Runcible and Borusa in The Deadly Assassin is just the best.

Runcible the Fatuous


#10 - A Who-Related Photo That You Took

In an effort to discourage Marianna away from my expensive scale miniature collection, I got her little 1/12 scale Cyberman his very own house to play with.

Cyberman's House


#11 - Favourite Audio Drama

The Jago & Litefoot stories are the best.

#12 - Your Favourite Villain

The Master, of course.

Roger Delgado Master


#13 - The Most Ridiculous Villain

The Wirrn, at least in their grub form. Just look at it - there are no words.

wirrn


#14 - The Villain Who Scared You the Most

The original Cybermen. They're incredibly creepy looking, what with their rotting flesh and dead eyes staring directly into your soul...

Dr Who Cybermen


#15 - A Crossover You Want To See

I want to see the bad guys try and mess with Malcolm Tucker...

#16 - Your Favourite Who-Related Fanfic

I've not really read all that many... Probably some good ol' shipfic for Jamie and Two.


#17 - A Piece of Who-Related Fanart

There is so much awesome fanart out there. Just check out this Pinterest board.


#18 - Favourite Piece of Merchandise

I love the 1/6 scale action figures by Big Chief Studios.

Big Chief Studios 8th Doctor Figure


#19 - The Scene That Made Your Cry the Most

I cried so much at the Adventure in Space and Time docudrama, when Hartnell knew he was going to have to give up the role.

Adventure in Space and Time


#20 - A Who-Related Fan-Site

Dr Who Online.


#21 - Your Doctor Who OTP

#22 - A Canon Ship You Love

Amy and Rory. <3

Amy and Rory


#23 - A Non-Canon Ship You Love

Turlough and the Doctor. Peter Davison and Mark Strickson were pretty apart - but even prettier together!

Turlough and the Doctor


#24 - Favourite Doctor Who Spin-Off

Overall, it has to be The Sarah Jane Adventures, but I also love the earlier Sarah Jane spin-off, K-9 and Company. Somehow they manage to send a futuristic robot dog to help solve the mystery of a village gripped by pagan witchcraft. That's the kind of TV gold I've come to expect from the Who franchise!

K-9 and Company


#25 - Do You Prefer Classic or New Who?

Classic.

Classic Who


#26 - The Strangest Moment

The Web Planet, forever and always.

Doctor Who - The Web Planet


#27 - An Episode You Wish Hadn’t Been Made

Series 4 of Torchwood. What a hot mess that was.

Torchwood - Miracle Day


#28 - Which Doctor Had The Best Outfit?

The seventh Doctor. Obviously.

Sylvester McCoy - Seventh Doctor


#29 - Who You Think Should Be the Next Doctor

Lesley Sharp is always amazing in everything.

British Food

A/N: On a previous blog wrote a whole series of posts on British life, explained for American fiction writers. This week I'm reposting the entry explaining British cuisine... Britain is world renowned for its stodgy, uninspiring cuisine. (Which should explain the deep suspicion Britons have of most foreign cuisine, unless it's been suitably adapted for the British palette.) BBC sitcom Goodness Gracious Me explains it best via the 'going for an English' sketch - a play on the popular British past time of 'going for an Indian (i.e. curry)'. " What's the blandest thing on the menu? " asks one character, later encouraging another, " Just have something a little bland, huh? Waiter, what have you got that is not totally tasteless? " Because, the truth is that traditional British fare is far from a taste sensation for those who haven't been raised on the stuff. Still, read on, and you can judge for yourself... Breakfast  The be

Simply Cook Review

I kept seeing ads and deals for Simply Cook everywhere, so as there was a special offer on at OhMyDosh! Rewards (£3 for the box and £3.50 cashback) I figured I had nothing to lose by giving it a try. What Is It? Recipe kits packed into boxes which fit through your letterbox. The usual price is £9.99 for a kit of 4, with each one serving 2-4 people depending on your serving sizes. All you need to do is buy the fresh ingredients required and follow the instructions. Here is Simply Cook's own helpful diagram: Does It Work? For me, as the person just eating it, it was awesome. Everything tasted great - the mushroom penne in particular was so good I went back for seconds - and I liked that the sauces weren't as rich as Anthony would usually make them. For Anthony, who cooked them, they weren't as impressive. He complained that the food was bland and that it was actually quite a lot of faff, as Lidl didn't stock everything we needed which meant another trip ou
