I spotted the good old Graske (sp?) from series two’s interactive adventure and obvious talk of the Doctor. Anyone spot anything else – particularly towards the end, when Bastard, my PVR, gave out?

Apologies for the lack of decent blogging recently
Sorry, faithful readers, for the lack of decent-quality, non-news blogging recently. I have, to put it bluntly, been “working like a bastard” and have also been completely revamping another web site elsewhere, among other things, which has sucked up most of my free time – not just for blogging, but for watching stuff as well.
Fingers crossed, this week’s two and a half hours of commuting a day will give me the time to listen to the last three Big Finish Doctor Who plays and review them for you, at least. Not sure about Learners though: the first ten minutes didn’t seem that great.
Hopefully, I’ll be able to up the frequency – and quality – again in a fortnight.
Thanks for your patience!
