The recent Comic Relief reminded me of the Doctor Who special they ran written by Steven Moffat featuring Rowan Atkinson as the Doctor. Shared for your amusement! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp_Fw5oDMao
Doctor Who and The Curse of Fatal Death
Category: TV & Music
3 Years Late
Just finished listening to Big Finish's 'Tom Baker at 80', an interview conducted by Nick 'voice of the daleks' Briggs. Moving from being comic, to revealing as it explores his past and poinant as Baker talks about his experiences of old age. A thoroughly engaging listen (how could it be otherwise with his majestic voice!) … Continue reading 3 Years Late

Big Finish – Doctor Who audiobooks
Over the last few years I've developed a love of the fantastic Big Finish audio books, especially their Doctor Who stories. A favourite range has been their Eighth Doctor stories featuring Paul McGann which are absolutely brilliant - despite his short screen time he's now one of my favorites. I've also recently got hold of a couple of … Continue reading Big Finish – Doctor Who audiobooks
The Thrill Is Gone
Today I woke to the sad news that another guitar hero of mine has gone, the great B.B.King, one of the last of the original electric blues players who created this wonderful music.

Jasper Carrott – Insurance Claims
Rediscovered this gem whilst doing some prep for tonight's Bible Study on excuses. Priceless - had me giggling like a boy again just as I was first time I heard him do these. Brilliant!
The Waterboys at The Camden Roundhouse, 3rd February 2015
Was lucky enough to secure a ticket to see The Waterboys last night at The Roundhouse on their tour to promote their new album 'Modern Blues'. As I'd expected from this enigmatic band it was a storming show, a wonderful blend of old and new, with a lovely soul sound running through it as inspired … Continue reading The Waterboys at The Camden Roundhouse, 3rd February 2015

‘New’ Queen – Let Me In Your Heart Again
Wonderful to hear Freddie's voice again on a 'new' Queen song. Although I'm disappointed that there are only three 'new' tracks on the new Album, Queen Forever, it still remains a thrill to hear their songs for the first time. This one was originally recorded during work on The Works but didn't make the cut and so … Continue reading ‘New’ Queen – Let Me In Your Heart Again
