My current theory is that The Power of the Doctor was a love letter to fans of the old; the Tennant 3-parter will be for fans of the new(ish) and then there will be no more love letters and Ncuti's era will be THE SHOCK OF THE NEW. And reader, that delights me.

The Season 15 box set features the documentary I'm probably most proud of making: DARKNESS & LIGHT: THE LIFE OF GRAHAM WILLIAMS. It's been 2 years in the making, runs to 97mins and features over 20 interviewees including Graham's amazing family. I hope you like it.

People say physical media is dead (it's not) but buying a DVD/blu-ray remains the best way I have to say "I love you" to my favourite films. It's commitment for crazy people!

Absolutely gutted to hear of the passing of Michael Jayston. He was incredible company on one of my favourite Who shoots, The Doctor's Table, and his turn as the Valeyard remains (forever) diabolically wonderful. RIP

Happy 60th birthday, Doctor Who!! The show has changed my life in all sorts of ways, but far more importantly than that, it's bloody brilliant - and it has been every day since the 23rd November 1963.

In a way I feel like this ident (yes, an IDENT!) was sort of the peak of Doctor Who's all-time popularity. That Tennant moving on felt like such a big deal to the BBC that it shouted about it in between EVERY show. That's flippin mental.
#ChristmasIdentCalendar
Day 19. David Tennant bowed out in
#DoctorWho
& starred in BBC1's 2009 ident, using reindeer to free a snowed in TARDIS. He introduced his last story (12m watched) & it was the last time we saw the full ident.After he regenerated the news version was used.

The thing I love best about working on the Who-ray Collection is that we approach each season with EQUAL LOVE. Hopefully this means that Season 24 will find new fans when it's released - it's such a daft, fun, tonic of a run. Give it a spin.

Reading a lot about Doctor Who fandom being 'broken'. Selfishly, I hope it's not - as it is inhabited by all sorts of wonderful folk, alongside the minority of... less wonderful. Begone factionalism, gatekeeping and being an ass! Instead... would you care for a jelly baby?

Here's a thing: I find every last minute of Doctor Who *interesting*. I may not LOVE every last minute, but I always find things that are fascinating, and I wouldn't delete a micro second. I'd recommend it as a philosophy - does wonders for your blood pressure!

My favourite thing about Season 24 is that they wanted to have Sylvester McCoy playing the spoons but his first story was set in space so they had to design SPACE SPOONS. God bless

Ah. Farewell to a brilliant actor, and a sweet, gentle man. I only worked with him the one time, for our Reign of Terror DVD doc, but I was so glad to have him there. In those early years of Who, he shouldered so much of the show and is responsible for so much of its success. RIP

Very very sad to say that my supremely wonderful Mum passed away yesterday morning. She was ('is', dammit!) the most caring, loving person I've ever met. Mother, Grandmother, perpetual smiler, artist, city planner, carer, survivor. Cancer can absolutely do one.x

Watching the Abominable Snowmen animation, the big shock for me was how fantastic a story this is for Victoria. She gets to be sharp, funny, mardy, she tricks people, has agency - it might be her best showing in the series! I wish Deb was still here to receive the deserved praise

My Dad died when I was 28. My Mum died when I was 38. Have been thinking a lot tonight about all the things I wish I'd asked them. If you're lucky enough to have parents, ask them stuff. Or just.. get ice cream and eat ice cream together. Ok?
