Love Doctor Who? The Sister Boniface Mysteries Wonderfully Pastiches Our Favourite Show

Love #DoctorWho? The Sister Boniface Mysteries Wonderfully Pastiches Our Favourite Show

In the beginning was Father Brown (Mark Williams) and for around a decade he would be solving the multitude of murders that were occurring during the 1950s in the Cotswolds village of Kembleford. Like the Whoniverse, Father Brown begat its own: a Fatherbrowniverse as it were. Sister Boniface Mysteries became a sister show (pun intended). Indeed, the characters of Father Brown and Sister Boniface…

Doctor Who's Set to Stun: A Visit to the Gunnersbury Park Museum Exhibition

#DoctorWho's Set to Stun: A Visit to the Gunnersbury Park Museum Exhibition

I was very lucky lately, having written an article last year about the announcement of the Set to Stun exhibit at Gunnersbury Park Museum, that I was finally able to visit it last week, just before it closed — though the Remembrance of the Daleks Dalek model will continue residing there until August. Completely free, the exhibit in West London celebrated local history in its grand house setting…

Lockdown Recommendation: Red Dwarf

“Three million years from Earth, the mining ship Red Dwarf…”

I have been a fan of Doctor Who for most of my life. But if you were to ask me what my favourite show of all time is, I would have to admit that it was ANOTHER British sci-fi institution. Namely, Red Dwarf. Like many Americans, I discovered this amazing mix of characters, concepts, and comedy some time in the early 1990s when the…

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Video Editor

Thinking back, I’m pretty sure this all started with John Hurt. Picture the scene. It’s early January, 2011. My other half and I have put the children to bed and have got out the mulled wine, seasonal chocolates and what remains of the Christmas nuts. We are perched on the sofa, watching an ageing academic visit a haunted hotel. He is plagued by mysterious noises, sentient bedsheets, and – in the…

The TARDIS Has Been Voted The Nation's Favourite Home

The TARDIS Has Been Voted The Nation’s Favourite Home

The people of Briton (well those that took the time to fill in a thing) have spoken! The nation has voted the TARDIS as their favourite home.
