Blog Update

As mentioned in my post on Saturday, I will be going back into hospital on Wednesday 8th March, with an operation scheduled for the next day. (This will be two years to the day since I first fell ill, as long term followers may recall).

I'm told that I will be in 1 - 3 weeks. It's a stoma reversal op, so it all depends on how quickly the 'plumbing' starts working again, and I am mobile enough to please the physios.

Don't expect any posts 8th - 15th at all, and whilst in hospital I'll only post a quick text message if there is any major news.

Once I'm back home it'll be business as usual.

I'll be continuing the in-depth episode guides on Sundays with the third instalment of The Web Planet, with its associated "Art of..." following on the Friday. 

The story guide will move on to the penultimate episode of Class, and I'll be looking at what went wrong with Terror of the Zygons. (I'm sure we all know of at least one thing there...). In the next 'A-Z' post we profile the likes of Mr Magpie and Mags.

I'll also be bringing you the inspiration behind Planet of the Ood, and 'Countdown to 60' reaches No.18, which will be the last of the 1960's entries.

20th March sees the release of the Season 9 Collection box-set - so expect a review of that towards the end of the month.

I'm sure I will also have something to say about the DWM 60th Anniversary poll, as they promise to release the Hartnell / Troughton results in the next issue. You can vote on the Pertwee / Baker (T) stories now on the DWM website.
