Doctor in distress! Join me on a nerdy trip back to hiatuses past! How do they relate to what’s happening to the show today? Read all about it as I chip in my thoughts on the Doctor Who cancellation drama. thatcomedyfan.wordpress.com/2026/06/16/its…
Twitter! I need your help! I’m after some advice about Doctor Who books. I’ve been working on one for the past two years. I have a 1,000-word synopsis and a 57,000-word manuscript. I would love to take steps to get it out there. Any advice would be hugely appreciated!
It’s Towel Day today! So raise a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster for Douglas. 🍸
Happy Towel Day! Today we celebrate Douglas Adams! ♥️
“Life is wasted on the living” as the great Douglas Adams said! The very same line was spoken in the Doctor Who TV movie by the Master! Today is not only Towel Day but the release date of the brand new Doctor Who TV movie Blu-ray! thatcomedyfan.wordpress.com/2026/05/23/the…
I’ve been delving into the history of the Doctor Who TV Movie - which is about to turn 30! I learned a lot researching this! Did you know that the film was edited by Patrick Lussier, who that same year edited the smash-hit slasher movie Scream? thatcomedyfan.wordpress.com/2026/05/23/the…
It's the last day for voting on which shows should make the shortlists in our TV & radio awards. We'll reveal the shortlists on Monday afternoon. comedy.co.uk/awards/2025/
I had such fun compiling a list of Tom Baker’s Top 7 Greatest Moments last week! #doctorwho radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doct…
There are 97 missing Doctor Who episodes! But how did they go missing and where could they be found? I went on a quest to find out. And share which 5 stories you’d like to see completed one day. radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doct…
[Recap:] Our Comedy Rewind column looks back at The Rebel, the 1961 film starring Tony Hancock. comedy.co.uk/features/comed…
I’m on my soapbox for a brand new blog post about the future of Doctor Who. When it comes back it’s got to be scary again! thatcomedyfan.wordpress.com/2025/10/17/whe…
It’s such a joy to be able to pay tribute to one of my favourite films! Tony Hancock at his best.
Today, Comedy Rewind dives into The Rebel, one of British comedy's great film hits, starring Tony Hancock in all his Technicolor glory. A satire on the art world, it was written for the comic by Galton & Simpson. comedy.co.uk/features/comed…
A landmark serial. It changed the game. My tribute from last year: thatcomedyfan.wordpress.com/2024/10/25/35-…
The Curse of Fenric first aired 36 years ago OTD in 1989. This chilling 7th Doctor story was a big highlight of Sylvester McCoy’s era. Ian Briggs’ tale is rich with Norse mythology, vampire legends and fully encapsulates script editor Andrew Cartmel’s vision for #DoctorWho
Missing Doctor Who? Never tried a Big Finish audio drama before? Allow me to be your guide… thatcomedyfan.wordpress.com/2025/03/12/the…
Calling all Seventh Doctor fans! This is a brand-new listening guide to the epic Elder Gods saga. I’ve loved my journey into the Big Finish audio universe, it’s perfect Doctor Who escapism! So, I hope that this guide is useful. thatcomedyfan.wordpress.com/2025/08/30/how…
I wrote a piece about the history of Omega and how his fumbled return marks a need for change in Doctor Who. thatcomedyfan.wordpress.com/2025/06/08/the…
A new blog post all about Douglas Adams and City of Death! I’m asking the big questions here: What is Doctor Who? What makes it work? Did Douglas Adams truly crack the code and create perfect Doctor Who? thatcomedyfan.wordpress.com/2025/03/22/cit…
Hancock's Half Hour - The Missing Page (11th March 1960). A master at work.
New Doctor Who Blog post One of the first things you’ll hear about if you’re new to Big Finish is: A Death in the Family It’s one of their greatest ever releases but you can’t just jump straight in! So here is a listening guide: thatcomedyfan.wordpress.com/2025/03/12/the…
My latest article is about the first ever TV Episode of Hancock’s Half Hour! thatcomedyfan.wordpress.com/2025/01/21/han…
