I first started collecting knickers in 1983 when at the Longleat Exhibition I was sold a pair of Janet Fielding's underwear by a make-up lady. But let me be clear on this; there is nothing "perverted" or "weird" about my collection. We all collect things we like, and I find knickers more personal than an autograph on the back of a plastic cup.
To date I have ninety four pairs of knickers which I think you'll agree is a wonderful achievement! I have built this collection up by begging, borrowing and on three occasions stealing. I like to write to female Doctor Who celebrities for items of their clothing and over the years it's become pretty clear to me that the way to ask is to not refer to their "knickers" but their "feminine undergarments".
...
People are *always* asking me if I have any men's pants from Doctor Who. I'd like to make it absolutely clear right now that I am not a gay pervert. Lots of my very best friends are gay but the thought of asking for another man's pants is frankly dirty. To this end I rather hope I've heard the last of one cast member who continually *insisted* on sending me items of his clothing.
I hope to all the dark gods of creation that this is a spoof site. Otherwise there is no hope for us. None at all.

I was a bit let down by the last two episodes (especially that you could have put all of it into one)this was absolutly great stuff.

The headless monks made me thinking about 40k..lol
I agree that the headless monks seemed like they'd fit into 40k, and that they're not just a star wars thing like I heard from some people. Notably, their swords looked like I picture a power sword, and certainly aren't light sabers (since they have a metal blade surrounded by energy).

On the weird bit - I like that he insists that he's not doing anything 'perverted' or 'weird', but thinks that he would have to be a gay pervert to collect men's underwear. I suspect that what he's got is a lot of people buying some panties from Walmart, then saying 'oh yeah, it was from this star's wardrobe' to get him to pay money for them. This is a really common scam when selling movie props.

I loved his enthusiasm about them. He might feel that being a nurse is a terrible thing, but the fact that a job sucks is no reason to half-ass things!

I'm posting this picture to explain why I haven't been blogging as much as usual of late (sorry 'bout that). I've been busy with this little project. A few advance notices have appeared on Amazon and similar sites, but I thought it was time I blogged an official word here as well. It's due out for Christmas - it's a Christmassy kinda story, as you can tell by the, uh, Ice Warriors - so it's on a helluva tight turn around. But it's also a helluva big honour to write this year's major hardback (last year's Christmas book was by Mr Moorcock, if you recall). I'm loving every minute of it, and I think it's going to be a cracker.
OMG, I didn't just make the 'Christmas cracker' joke in public, did I?
Anyway - Amy, Rory, Matt Smith's Doctor and some Ice Warriors. Did I mention the Ice Warriors? I got chills, baby! Chills!
oh hell yes !
Torchwood on Thursday too for us Ukers, it already having been shown in the USA.

Dam. they stopped the freaken series half way threw for some dumb show about protagonists in afganastan. because we wernt aready a whole season behind!
Super pumped for Torchwood tonight! I'm interested to see how they develop Jack's character. Has he moved on from the events of Children of Earth, or is his confidence waning and affecting his leadership?

So Torchwood season 4, episode 1 just finished... I'm glad seasons 3 and now 4 have finally worked out what Torchwood should have been all along. That was all kinds of cool
Anyhoo. To keep up the cartoony Dr Who goodness, here's a Tom Baker that I drew a few years back. I never did get around to finishing all of the others...

Hmm... it was.... alright. Setting and characters all fine and dandy, and the situation is intriguing. Just a bit too slow to get going.
And the teaser thing at the end went on and on and on .

"the play's the thing wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king,
I didn't really watch too much of the last series of Torchwood. It really started to wane to the point where I wasn't too bothered about it and never caught the conclusion.
So I sat down to watch last night thinking that there would be parts that I missed from the end of Series 3, but it was all so slow and explained (presumably for the expected US and BBC1 audiences) that it really didn't matter. As Red says it was alright but after the rest-o-da-series preview I’m not sure I’ll really pull out all of the stops to watch as I would with Dr Who.
Good: US money, effects are better as a result - Not-corpse on the slab was a little unsettling (that being the point)
Moving away from Wales to the US should be better locations and not just the same old damp Cardiff
The US actors - The CIA agent chap (from ER) was good, and the ladies were pretty. I quite enjoyed trying to place them all in the series that they had appeared in before.
Bad: [sarcasm] I think Russell T Davis might be gay and has to let everyone know it is okay to be gay by including it in every story-line if the preview and past series of Torchwood and to a lesser extent Dr Who are anything to go bi. [sarcasm] Seriously though, we get the point Russell but it looks like we could be in for more of the same.
Slow, slow, Q...Slow, Sloooow - Setting the scene is one thing but this was hardly a rip-roaring introduction to Torchwood. They really seem to be concentrating on a 10 episode arc.
Ugly: While I appreciate that it is a BBC Wales production -Welsh accents, "I'm Welsh not English bitch!" blah blah blah. Not sure why this is starting to grate with me but it is. I'm sure the exaggeration is for the US audiences benefit but they seem to be laying it on a bit thick. Ideally Gwen would ditch her wet blanket husband and let the action commence without his incessant moaning.
Is this trying (in terms of series setup) to be a 24 clone?

Watched Torchy for the first time last night. Loved it. But I have to agree, that "teaser".. Yeah.. went on for freakin' ever. I just sat there thinking "Well, I know 90% of the plot for the rest of the series now."
The first episode of Torchwood managed Starz viewing figures that were, as many have observed, comparable to those of Camelot.
You know Camelot, it’s a silly place. It was also the show with Eva Green (nice) that got cancelled after one season (nasty).
So, bad news for Captain Jack’s big move to America. Even worse, the second episode saw viewing figures drop drastically.
Entertainment Weekly report at 30% drop. Sharp. It doesn’t seem likely that an extra third of the viewers went timeslip and fired up the Tivos, but the less urgent imperative with a second episode could have driven some folks to the DVR and account for some of the 30% figure.
It’s looking like curtains for the US rendition of the show though, of course, nothing is final yet and we’re certainly a long way from an official announcement.
Will the BBC move ahead with any more episodes all by themselves? My guess is yes.
Last week’s screening of episode one received an approval rating off 85, which is considered a real win. If they really are as motivated by these Appreciation Index scores as they say they are, more Torchwood looks like pretty much inevitable.

whether or not the cure they cooked up is even vaguely plausible, but it was written well enough for me not to care. Thought Pullman was amazingly good in his role as well.

I think Edta does treat heavy metal poisoning, but whether you can have a single lethal dose of arsnic and then cobble together various ingredients and boil them in a kettle before directly injecting them into someone is a different matter...
Did any of the UK viewers experience sound balancing issues? At times I was struggling to hear what the actors were saying because of the overbearing music. Thought the episode was good, but I hope they rectify this annoyance.
