As world events trend ever downwards, you can always count on the Three Who Rule to not only give you the latest exciting news from the world of Doctor Who, such as Murray Gold reporting there are numerous versions of the upcoming Xmas Special written, a BBC executive saying quite sensibly that Doctor Who will come back when it’s good and ready and more, but also our usual basting in the warm glow of the past as we go back to the halcyon days of 1986 with a Classic Series Commentary on the greatest model shot in the history of television (and some story stuff I guess) with Part One of “The Mysterious Planet”!

Before that:

Neil Sedaka, whose 1970s albums I listened to as a very little kid and whose gritty songwriting period I actually admired.

Dan Simmons, a problematic though phenomenal writer who I have stolen many storytelling tricks from.

And this is the new way. Multiple icons dropping dead and not enough time to catch your breath.
