Wittering on about forty year old telly
Aug. 24th, 2006 03:10 pmSo while the Beeb BURNT Troughton, sometimes I forget that they also did the same to a fair chunk of Hartnell, and his final full year as the Doctor really suffers for it (there're three complete stories surviving from a series of ten) and nobody really talks about series 3. NOT BECAUSE IT'S BORING. It's not. It's got Galaxy 4 (shutup, any story that uses the word 'chumblie' wins. I have no idea what a chumblie is but they keep saying it and IT AMUSES ME.), Myth Makers (this one is actually properly class), The Massacre (one of the last and most shocking historicals), the Savages (Morality tale! With Steven given a truly fabulous leaving scene, which, remarkably is about the only moving bit left of that story) and, oh my, the Daleks' Masterplan. Which is the most awful Doctor Who story ever. And I mean that in a good way. It reduced me to a wee quivering wreck.

In other news, tea! Aha! Vindication! Tea will make me healthier, hurrah! And I don't have to drink so much boring water. So, yes, that makes me feel an awful lot better about the number of teas I'll drink a day when left to me own devices. Now all I need is a survey saying that cake is full of vitamins, and my diet will be perfect, yes.
And since currently my life consists of Organising Stuff For New Flat, here are more interesting things:
Rose Tyler Gen Ficathon - sign-up and write fic! Because gen is the true actual oppressed bit of the fandom, OH YES.
Romanathon Ficathon Stories - Romana!fic, due in today. I'm all done and written and such (and, in fact, finished last week, so it's my most organised writing for a ficathon ever) but want to have another read through before I post. But, yes, Romana fic. That is A Good Thing.
Martha Jones ficathon - er, yeah, I have no idea why I signed up for this. But it is liable to produce cracktastic goodness! From me, anyway..though possibly not the goodness bit. And there is a teeny-tiny minimum word count, so you should sign-up too. Yes.
Misc Reccing
Babylon 5 - Let's Do It by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alicamel - I love this vid, it is cheering like woah! You should watch, yes.
Babylon 5 - Ophelia byandrastewhite - And this one is simply beautiful and maybe breaks you a little bit inside.
Rose/Doctor Icons byyuxonomei - Rose and All The Other Doctors. These make me very happy, and wanting to write Rose/Eight.
