If you fancy a bit more 'fantasy' Byron and Shelley action (with a bit of Keats thrown in for good measure) check out Tim Powers book The Stress of Her Regard. One of my favourite books. The fact I live about 1 mile from Shelley House has nothing to do with it!



There's a sequel of sorts called Hide me Among the Graves, which focusses on the Rossetti family and the pre-Raphaelite movement.

Alister Pearson's cover art to the Virgin Missing Adventure novel The Dark Path by David A. McIntee.

The story featured the second Doctor, Jamie and Victoria plus the Master.

Yes a slight improvement on last week.

I'm surprised you failed to mention the final rating for last weeks lecture.

I only really look at the overnights.

Fiddled figures don't count.

The fiddled figures are worse. It the third worst rating since 2005. Second worst if you remove four screen viewing.

Chibnall must be thanking his lucky stars for the dross that was Eaters of Light.

Rewatched the extras on disc one of series one.

There's an excellent piece by Mark Gatiss on the writing and production of The Unquiet Dead done as video diaries over the course of the story's evolution.

The GallifreyOne convention over the weekend showed some new clips of the Fury from the Deep animation and also disclosed some new titbits about the animations in general.

Contrary to previous statements that some stories were unlikely to be done because of complexity - many of the Hartnell historicals in particular - the animators are saying that all the missing stories now could be done (though obviously they won't unless sales stay good).*

The budget for the animations is going up. In addition to offering colour and black and white versions, the animations will also be in either widescreen (for the colour version) or 4:3 for the black and white purists.*
