The Next Few Months...

Hi Guys

With the end of Series 6 of Doctor Who now upon us, and SJA and Torchwood also finished  - and in Torchwood's case for a goodly while - and new Who, with the exception of The Christmas Special - a wee while off (we're hearing September/October next year), I think now has come the perfect time for me to take a well earned break. My other series - Spooks - is gone too now, and Hustle, which will also be the final series of that, not transmitting til next year, I think I'll back out of the blogging business for a while and concentrate on family, friends, and those all important exams.

I do have one goody coming up, which will appear quite soon, but it's a surprise, so sshh, spoilers!, but apart from that, your best bet at getting news and reviews - especially all the Big Finish latest - which we're now actually going to be getting before release, it was confirmed to me on Friday - and all the other stuff we get from every media outlet going - is to go along to Outpost Skaro where people far cleverer and much better writers than me will be furnishing you with Things Yet To Come as well as their lively forum. As I said before, I'm just a small cog in that very big - and growing - wheel, so I'm pretty sure I won't be missed.

Before I do go for my Christmas Break - and I will be back as they say "sometime in the New Year" - I'd just like to thank the 11,000 odd readers of this blog, and for the myriad of messages and notes of kindness and goodwill I get daily, and for the support I get from you guys, especially in the wake of some nastiness elsewhere. It's heartening to know that insanity doesn't particularly spread, and to all the companies I've spoken to, all the readers of this blog who've emailed me - and again, it would be churlish to publish all those, but you know I get them - to everyone who has given me words of encouragement and support, thank you. It means a lot. Words fail me sometimes at the level of nastiness on the Web, but for every rambling nutter there are, it seems thousands of decent people who aren't stupid or gullible and are as appalled as you'd expect a decent person to be. I will pop on from time to time and update you with links to Outpost Skaro when they have news for you. So once again, friends, thank you. I'll leave you - and Skaro - in the capable hands of Derek and the lads over there and wish you, a slightly early, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Happy Times and Places

The Skaro Review

Hello there, Faithful Readers

I'm a lucky boy. I know this. In fact, I have a wee chuckle to myself almost every day about it. I get to see Doctor Who before it's transmitted, and I get to tell you guys what I think of it.

Outpost Skaro is, in my opinion, the best site on the planet for this. Of course, there are other great ones. Kasterborous is brilliant, for instance, and there are lots of others, but I love ours before we have a really great gang of guys and girls, from all over the world, in the forum, who chat, in a friendly and passionate manner, about all things, not just Who.

So I thought I'd start a blog and let you all know what's happening. Follow me, and you'll see here, first, spoilers on the new series, links for reviews and podcasts and all sorts of treats, not just from Doctor Who, but from things like Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures, Spooks, Hustle... and just about every major British Genre programme going.

So, the first link you really, really need is this one:

Outpost Skaro

This will take you to our shiny Portal, but, beware, faithful readers, that it's not all Portal based - a free and quick registration will take you to our forum where you'll find interviews, reviews and exclusive competitions.

I know. We're great!

Look forward to seeing you there.

Happy Times and Places
