I'm sorry to hear that. As my followers will surely verify, I never resist getting into a conversation about #DoctorWho. Please, don't give up on Mastodon.


Hey, Who fans. Sadly, Mastodon didn't pan out the way I hoped, there wasn't much of a community that built up and there still isn't that much really. So...

We've just set up on Bsky if you want to connect and chat there - bsky.app/profile/bigblueboxpod… and (for now at least) still on X/Twitter - x.com/bigblueboxpcast

Whatever social channel you're on, let's connect and chat #DoctorWho

For now, Mastodon, peace out. It's been fun.


Finally got round to finishing my Lego Large Dalek design, needs a fair bit of refining, and would likely have to rework the joint, but I really like this concept ^_^
Head spins and eye goes up and down.

This is a timeline cleanser every #DoctorWho fan needs: Tom Baker covered in #kittens!


For years, I always imagined Oscar the Grouch to be a time lord due to everything he supposedly was able to fit in that trash can. #DoctorWho



Considering its popularity, it's remarkable to me that the BBC rarely aired repeat episodes of #DoctorWho.


The Five Faces of Doctor Who, the multi-Doctor repeat season was broadcast 40 years ago today, on 2 November 1981. This fondly remembered run of repeats gave many fans the chance to enjoy stories from past Doctor’s that they’d never seen before for the first time! #DoctorWho




Interesting to read about this new adaptation of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Although... am I the only one who remembers ABC radio's Doctor Who parody 'Doctor Poo', and his epic adventure involving 20,000 *Legs* Under the Sea? (It was piloted by the evil Captain Kneemoss - so called because he had moss on his knees).

Just me?

In general, asking AI chatbots about Doctor Who books is a horrible experience. Not sure why. #DoctorWho


I know people are probably bored of ChatGPT mistakes - but its knowledge of #DoctorWho is impressively bad!

I asked it which Oscar Winners had appeared in Doctor Who.

The first two are bang on. Number 3… eh! I'll take it.

But then it gets worse (cont.)


Totally Tasteless - the biography of JNT that I used for my Black Archive on Greatest Show in the Galaxy, is having a reprint: tenacrefilms.bigcartel.com/pro… Highly recommended for a balanced take on JNT, his life and career. #DoctorWho


Today is the birthday of #DoctorWho actors Anthony Ainley, Sylvester McCoy, and Sophie Aldred. As it's also *my* birthday, a few years ago, I commissioned this artwork and then mocked up a book cover for a theoretical August 20th adventure!



Notes from Nerdsville.

Since I started watching all the classic Doctor Who espisodes in order, I've come to appreciate the quiet horror of the first Cybermen.

With minimal paraphernalia, and face coverings like bandages, they're easily the most creepy, evoking the sort of body horror their increasingly shiny descendants have lost. The weird, elongated pronunciation adds to the effect.

Bill Potts transforms into one of these monsters in The Doctor Fails.

Remembering Jon Pertwee, the brilliant Third Doctor, on his birthday. The 3rd Doctor's stories and his time with UNIT was one of my favourite eras of classic WHO! #DoctorWho


"Claws of Axos" is actually the DW novel I'm currently reading; it's in an audio collection of novels involving the Master, this one being narrated by Richard Franklin. #DoctorWho


Axos calling Earth, Axos calling Earth... " Chilling out this evening watching Doctor Who The Claws of Axos (1971). Classic 70's Who at its best, and still one of my favourite 3rd Doctor & Jo Grant adventures featuring the Master and UNIT. #DoctorWho


So the #BBC finally commented on ratings for the show - and they consider it a success! 😄

I'm sad to learn of the passing of William Russell, who played schoolteacher Ian Chesterton in the first two seasons of #DoctorWho. It was great that he made a cameo in the series in 2022. I just finished "Susan's War" from Big Finish where he teamed up with Carole Ann Ford and he was in great form. May he rest in peace and may our Lord have mercy on his soul. Mr. Russell was 99 years old.

I absolutely agree with your comments about the Timeless Child. It helped to explain some references in the classic series and I agree that it only added more mystery to the Doctor. I'd love to see a spin-off series about this either in audio or in book format. #DoctorWho


At first I was trepidous about RTD's return (I still am to some extent) but this has given me some confidence. Rather than dismissing the Timeless Child, he is using it as a jumping off point for the new series

Many argued that the TC had taken the mystery away, but for me it added a whole new layer. Now he truly doesn't know who he is, where he comes from or how many lives he has had, and I hope this story is explored further in the years to come

I sure wish they'd release these trailers with audio description. #DoctorWho
