Unusual Doctor Who Photo #14: Yeti vs Dog
You’ve probably heard of the fight-or-flight response, something we share with other animals. It’s our body’s response to danger, producing a flood of hormones in preparation for either standing our ground and fighting, or running away. Our body gets ready, … Continue reading

Unusual Doctor Who Photo #10: The Sucker Punch
Why is the mild-mannered Ian Chesterton punching this smartly dressed gentleman? This is actually a behind-the-scenes photo from the filming of The Crusade. Here’s a better picture of the man William Russell is aiming his punch at:
Unusual Doctor Who Photo #9: The Technix
Who is William Hartnell joking around with in this photo? This is actually a behind-the-scenes photo from the filming of the first episode of The Daleks’ Master Plan, The Nightmare Begins. The actors had minor roles playing functionaries at Central … Continue reading
Unusual Doctor Who Photo #8: Zarbi Conga
We’ve all done the conga at parties, haven’t we, maybe even in fancy dress… but this is truly impressive: OK, so they aren’t actually doing the conga. Another shot of the same scene will give us more information:

Where does the time go, I ask you? 2022 just started a few minutes ago, and somehow it’s about to end. You know what else just ended this year? Jodie Whittakers’s era of Doctor Who. Since Doctor Who was where … Continue reading
Endings and New Beginnings
2021 was another roller coaster of a year. So much so that Netflix has a series called Death to 2021, so I don’t think I’m going too far out on a limb in saying people are happy to see the … Continue reading
