Mornington Nomic (a Make-As-You-Play game set on the London Underground) has now been updated to version 5:

Version 5 is mostly a re-arrangement of the rules, which should make them easier to understand.

Paul McGann is... really good!

I don't know what else to say except aaaa

For International Women's day, Big Finish is releasing a box set of new stories that are lead by women, written by women, directed by women, AND produced by a woman.

Two more wonderful stories.

Tom Baker has said that he enjoyed working on The Ark in Space more than any other story, and it's easy to see why – several good actors to play against, grand sci-fi concepts, action, mystery...

It's basically the best subset of classic Doctor Who.

The Sontaran Experiment is fun and interesting, and it left me wanting more – I'm very glad they decided to make a 2 episode story this season.

I say that there's nothing to deal with, but that's an over simplification. Prior to the audio dramas starting, there were:

• 40 books published featuring the 8th doctor's adventures, set directly after the TV movie
• Two *separate* series of comic strips, a total of 20 stories.

But for the most part you can just say that the order of the stories is:

1. The Movie
2. Books
3. Comics
4. Audio Dramas

and each of those is completely separate

What makes these especially interesting is that the writers have free reign: with the other Doctors, all the stories have to somehow fit in with the established timeline shown on TV, but the only 8th Doctor TV story was the movie, which showed the first few hours of his life, and ended with him leaving alone in the TARDIS. There's no sequence of companions to deal with, and there's no difficulty adding in an essentially infinite number of adventures set after the movie
