Monday, July 26th, 20102MTL 151: Saluting Tracie Simpson
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010Buried in RTD and Benjamin Cook's The Writer's Tale (confession: I've only read the pre-specials hardback) is a salute to an unsung hero who left only to return as a full producer for the specials and Series 5: Gallifrey One 22 guest Tracie Simpson.
2MTL 150: The Doctor's Top Ten Kisses, Part Two

Thoughts about character development, starry nights and Fandom Wars (TM) within!
