Circuit Breaker's very much taken over my month, and luckily the Doctor's been going between the Black Archives and various locations a lot in the TARDIS! It's had some highs and lows (mainly the 3 week delay for the comic below), but it's been fun! We'll see if it can hit August's prompt too. 👀

The Cover A design of the Doctor Who Circuit Breaker comic 'Adversary of the Daleks'. It shows the Fugitive Doctor in a purple suit, holding the resistor gun in the air. There is a large Dalek behind her and a galactic background. There is also a symbol in the top-right indicating it's part of Circuit Breaker, and the names "Dulce M. Montoya', 'Dan Watters', 'Roberta Ingranata', 'Valentina Bianconi' and 'Comicraft' listed in the top-left corner.

This month's challenge - A story where the TARDIS travels during the story

I watched Sleep No More for this month, set on a ship in the 38th century. It's been fun rewatching Capaldi episodes and appreciating how many different genres they span, and this episode was no different! The biggest challenge was finding an episode which wasn't vaguely set in the future. 😅

Screenshot of the episode from BBC iPlayer. The episode is "Doctor Who (2005 - 2022) Series 9 Episode 9: Sleep No More", and there's a picture of the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and Clara (Jenna Coleman) leaning forward and staring at the camera in a spaceship corridor. The lights are red and yellow, and there's a glitched effect over the top.
The description reads, "Sci-fi drama. This terrifying story is assembled from footage discovered in the wreckage of Le Verrier Space Station."

June's monthly challenge - A story set in the year 3000 or later!

This challenge ended up being very well-timed, as I, like many other fans, watched the new edition of Doctor Who: The Movie, set in San Francisco! They've done a wonderful job of updating it, and the steelbook it came in is beautiful. So glad to be able to celebrate its 30th anniversary this way!

Photo of the Doctor Who The Movie Steelbook from the HMV website. The front cover shows Paul McGann as the 8th Doctor behind shattered glass, with a portion of the glass showing Eric Roberts' face as the Master on top. Along the side, it says "BBC Doctor Who The Movie". On the back it shows an image of Sylvester McCoy as the 7th Doctor in the centre, with images of Daphne Ashbrook as Grace Holloway and Yee Jee Tso as Chang Lee at the bottom. The Master is in the background at the top, with a vague image of his previous iteration in the bottom centre.

May's challenge - a story set on Earth but outside of the United Kingdom

It would've been boring to count the 3rd Doctor episodes I'm already watching, so I went for SJA's The Enemy of the Bane! The Brigadier was in top form as always, and it's fun watching Sarah Jane sneaking around UNIT after knowing them for so long. Always love an excuse to watch SJA!

Screenshot of the iPlayer thumbnail for Sarah Jane Adventures, Series 2: 11. The Enemy of the Bane - Part 1. The description says, "Children's drama series. When former enemy Mrs Wormwood appears asking for help, Sarah Jane must turn to an old friend from her time with the Doctor."

This month's Doctor Who story challenge - a story featuring UNIT

Rewatched 'The Eaters of Light' by Rona Munro. I've been watching a lot of Classic Who and wanted to see if having someone who'd written for both eras would bridge the gap, and it did! Perfect for New Who, but I can also see how easy it would be to split into 6 episodes like a Classic serial.

Sceenshot of the episode from BBC iPlayer, titled "Doctor Who (2005 - 2022) Series 10 Episode 10 The Eaters of Light". The description says, "A hunt for the lost Ninth Roman Legion leads the Doctor, Bill and Nardole into the middle of an ancient battle that could cast humanity into the dark forever."

Cutting it a bit fine this month, but my sister and I rewatched 'The Witchfinders' for this one! A great cast and lots of fun, so I'm glad it was as enjoyable to watch as the first time around. (And if anyone's interested in a spoilery review of the episode... tardis.guide/reviews/stor...)

Screenshot of the BBC iPlayer image and summary for Doctor Who (2005 - 2022) Series 11 Episode 8, The Witchfinders. The summary states, "In 17th century Lancashire, the Doctor, Yaz, Ryan and Graham become embroiled in a witch trial and the arrival of King James I." The image is of King James and Ryan, holding a piece of wood on fire in the dark outdoors.

February's challenge: A story with a historical 'celebrity'!

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

This is Peanut. He decided to stay home from work today. Doesn't have a job, but is too exhausted to go even if he did have one. 12/10 (TT: peanut5025)

I'm firmly in the Jo Grant era of my Classic Who marathon and didn't want to skip ahead, so thought I'd try something different! Tom Allen does a fab job with Oliver's introduction, the story is exciting and I'm already tempted to buy the next story. A great change of pace from the TV episodes!

The audiobook cover of 'The Perpetual Bond' by Simon Guerrier. It is voiced by Peter Purves and Tom Allen, and it shows pictures of both of their characters, along with the 1st Doctor and a handshake between a human and an alien.

January: a companion's first story

This is Link. His ball suddenly went missing and then reappeared trapped under his bed. He called his brother Otto in for backup, knowing they'd need all three of their collective brain cells to get it back. 12/10 for both (IG: thegoldenbruvs)

While it may seem redundant to say “pump it up” after encouraging the listener to “pump up the jam,” the author is underscoring the urgency of pumping up said jam; leaving us to ponder the bleakness of living in a world devoid of it.
