Before I dive headfirst into the Series 10 reviews, I brought along my wife, Tammy, for a quick special to discuss the announcement of the 13th Doctor and her experiences at her very first convention this past weekend at Raleigh Supercon. And stay tuned after the credits for a short tribute to the lovely Deborah Watling, who sadly passed away this morning (July 21, 2017)...

It's the return of The Quest is the Quest and the Return of Doctor Mysterio! Before delving into Series 10, let's take a look back at the 2016 Christmas special about a real superhero named Ghost....wait...Supernanny!....no....Grant. It's a fun little Christmas special that really has nothing to do with Christmas - just a bunch of brain stealing aliens without pockets planning an invasion...with blue snot. Thank you so much for listening and I'll be back very soon with The Pilot and Smile! Also, check out Who and Company:

Here's something different: I thought it would be fun to read a novel and then hear the adaptation from Big Finish.....so I did. This month, it's The English Way of Death by Gareth Roberts. Originally a book published in 1996 and now a Big Finish audio adapted by John Dorney featuring the Fourth Doctor, Romana, & K-9. See you in September!

Thank you all so very much for your support and your enthusiasm and a special thanks to each and every guest who appeared on this show along the way. I am very grateful.
