Turns out that Panini are indeed still looking into re-releasing The Dalek Chronicles (one of the many boons of Time Lord Victorious ) and the team at Doctor Who Magazine are trying to collect the original art for each individual page. So far, they've been able to create high resolution scans of over 50% of the series. All recovered or donated by collectors. With the restoration work that can be done now, I'm extremely excited for when it does come out. These old TV21 tales deserve a new lease of life and I think people will get a real kick out of them (particularly the duel between the Emperor and the indestructible drone Zeg). I have a copy of the Dalek Annual 1978 where they reproduced some of these. One of the previous owners had detached the pages to try and pass them off as the originals, then thought better of it and Sellotaped them back in again.... I do hope they were too young to know better, but probably not. I suspect they tried to sell or swap for something coveted. Will certainly look out for it and I hope it is a single compendium.

Yesterday was the wedding of my brother. After it was post-poned due to COVID twice, they finally could go ahead. They had to have a COVID concept and the priest in church was watching like a hawk that everybody disinfected their hands and followed the rules, but- IT DID GO AHEAD. Everybody was very happy and there certainly was too much food and drink. Sadly, the weather did not play along at all and we had a wet and cold (10 degrees!) autumn day with constant rain. So you could not even go outside for a breather.
I am happy for my brother and his wife and daughter.
Only thing really nagging me is- I have very bad blood pressure. When sudden weather changes happen, my blood pressure crashes. We went from 27 degrees 3 days ago to 10 degrees yesterday. I was feeling queasy all day yesterday as per usual. I also could not drink any alcohol because I had to drive from my home through forest and the tiny villages from my home 30 mins away (my brother only got a venue for the wedding 30min drive away!). At around 7pm I had a splitting headache and when the band started playing I could not handle it anymore. I left even before all the little kids. Needless to say my whole family was disappointed/ unhappy/ borderline angry with me, and I was angry with myself because I did not enjoy myself at all and did not even talk to many people, mainly just sat there suffering by myself. Then I had to drive home, in the dark, in the pouring rain, with a splitting headache and it was a BAD idea. I basically crawled home at 60 km/h because all the flare and light reflections were like needles in my eyes. I was VERY lucky nothing happened, nearly ended up on road signs and trees twice.
Worst thing is, with this I have just again emphasized the big prejudice my family has with me for being socially awkward/ distant, uncaring and "not normal". It is hard being a highly sensitive introvert in a "normal" family without the capacity and will to accept the fact. Sigh.
Note to self- fork out for a taxi to an event like this even if 30min away. In the unlikely event I get invited again. Drinking some alcohol would definitely have helped with a few issues here, including the blood pressure. Or it might have caused some more issues... who knows.
To "brighten" up my day today- I feel as crap as I felt yesterday, dizzy and queasy plus the added guilt.

Took the convertible out for a run today. The sun never really got out. Overcast and blustery mostly, but I had the hood down all the way nevertheless. A 50 mile round run and an afternoon swim at the destination, Feeling pretty invigorated as I am managing four weekday morning swims at present too. Getting back in trim post lockdown. Great feeling when it is windy, cold and open to the elements yet having a blast on quiet country roads. Just a coat and a good heater matrix. I may need some earmuffs or a balaclava for the winter months though. Splendid. Trim in time for lockdown 2 🤪

/photo/4 Interchangable lego figure bases for rpg d n d or gurps or warhammer I have actually seen some people in my Warhammer painting group using these for basing. I might just be too old fashioned... plus, just not enough space for all the skulls and blood and gore I like to add...

Happy 5th anniversary to Tim Bradley's Bradleys Basement, Tim is one of the nicest guy's I've met, blimey Tim how long we known each other? We started way back reviewing on Amazon & while i scaled back on reviewing Tim went full throttle setting up Bradley's Basement.
I think we often overlook the amount of time & effort Tim puts into his log, his reviews are in-depth witty & his timelines for each Doctor are phenomenal.
His stories are superbly written, Doom Of The Daleks being my personal favourite & Tim even created a character based on me (James Darby) which i found a touching tribute to our friendship, Big Finish i said it 100 times already "HIRE THIS MAN".
I'd like to ask our forum followers to go over to Tim's blog & share the love & show support & appreciation of this genuinely nice guy.
Here's to the next 5 years.

Tell your family to walk a mile in your shoes before they start moaning & complaining, better yet do what i did with my dad's stuck up family tell em all to f..k off. I know from my own personal experience the stigma i received from my dad's family growing up labelled "freak" " nutter" " he ain't right in the head" "lunatic" well it's called bipolar but it was diagnosed so easily back in the 80's. You take care of yourself, not your fault you have high blood pressure, how about your family acknowledge you went to the wedding despite not feeling well & nearly killed yourself driving home, my advice have a duvet day keep the curtains drawn & chill out the best you can. Remember your liked & appreciated on this forum, one of our most entertaining members.

I will just keep away for a while until things settle.
And that low blood pressure thing runs in the family, my great granddad was afflicted, as is my mum. So it isn't as if nobody knows. My sister even acknowledged the fact I was not feeling well since I looked like a ghost. Maybe I am just more upset about myself than the others are with me, because I went with the intention of having a great time and chatting with everyone.

That's a wonderful thing about life, there are always more opportunities for having a great time. The body falters, but the mind keeps going.

Had a number of video conferences today, all of which were crashed by the cat. Thankfully, they weren't high-level calls (she's actually good about staying out of those ones) - not sure if I should be annoyed that the cat was very popular with those on the calls and was invited back. " Friends! Humans! Cat owners! Lend me your kibble. I come to bother Owner, not to praise him!" My favourite is the carefully calculated stepping across the keyboard like they're hot coals. Just wanted to say I am very glad this forum is an nice safe place for whovians and bf fans alike where everyone is respectful of each other and no one judges or bullies me for my weird headcannons and opinions, because not all who communities are as kind. So thank you for being a safe place😊💙💙 Some of the best seeds for storytelling can come from the most unconventional of places. I like your headcanon and story ideas, and I like the enthusiasm with which you approach a lot of these ideas. An important thing to remember about bullying is that it has nothing to do with you and your opinions. It's not a problem they have with you. It's a problem they have with something within themselves. Something that they can't express or articulate in the way they want to, so they lash out. You do not need anyone else's permission to enjoy the things that you do. Especially if what you're trying to do is create, make that world that you enjoy bigger and share that with others. Your contributions are valued. Just wanted to say this made me feel a lot better! I was very down and still am a little bit because I was cyber bullied and called a “deranged freak” and “furry” by a nasty group of people on a Peter Capaldi/twelfth Doctor fan group who pretended to be nice to me and interested in my 12/Clara Beauty and the Beast parallel theory along with what I thought were just silly or playful head cannons of mine and then they kicked me out of the group and then I saw that they were mocking me on Twitter and making extremely hurtful comic strips making fun of me 😔 it felt ten times worse because I thought I was just joining a fun group who also loved the twelfth Doctor/Doctor Who and Peter Capaldi, and I hated having that negativity associated with a show/character/actor I find very comforting. So thank you for making me feel a little bit better with your response ! I know it’s silly and doesn’t really matter but it really did upset me, so thank you for your positivity and encouragement 😊

They're people who have gone beyond criticism of a piece of media and turned it into point scoring against... well, what I'm not entirely sure. A stranger? That hardly makes sense. For some, there must always be an enemy and the truth of the matter is there really doesn't need to be. It's just petty, it doesn't have any weight in anything real. And the opportunities missed with that narrow world view -- well, you can see it all around you. Glad you're enjoying this place. Always happy to lend a bit of positivity and encouragement where possible.
