Tomorrow is the Christmas Special for Doctor Who. In The Snowmen we’ll see Jenna-Louise Coleman play a character called Clara. We’re just not sure whether, or if, there’s a connection to Oswin from Asylum of the Daleks. The battle to control the TV is intense at Christmas. You might have family over, you might have […]
K-1889 is steampunk K-9

You might be surprised by Vastra investigates – it’s over 2 minutes long, approaching 3 minutes. That compares very well […]
