Doctor Who Valentine’s Day Cards
It might be a little late to order them now but last year’s limited edition WHO – ValenTime Cards are still available from Tom Kurzanski’s Etsy store. He does offer expedited shipping, though.

Beating Retreat with Doctor Who

Part TARDIS, part dalek and part dress

Fancy a Jelly Baby: A Doctor Who – The Fourth Doctor Sourcebook review
Travellers in the Fourth Dimension, fighting against tyranny, ignorance and dark forces beyond imagination, The Doctor and his companions have voyaged through 800 episodes.

However, it doesn’t necessarily occur to you, unless […]

Doctor Who: Fan captures video of Peter Capaldi filming
Possible and mild spoilers here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9aT8Vm0prQ The footage shows the 12th Doctor in… um, a nightgown? He jokes; “This is not the Doctor’s costume”.
