Doctor Doctor


The Easter Holidays, have been a little hectic this year. My children have been on school holidays for two and a half weeks, and to be quite honest they have driven my wife around the bend. I have been particularly busy at work and have recently received a large shipment of PC's, Laptops and a Server which all need my attention. Blogging takes a hike at these times and Warcraft is nothing more than a couple of 30 minute escapes from the clutches of the children.

To break up the monotony of bad weather and school holidays, the family drove down to Cardiff with the sole intention of visiting the Doctor Who Experience.



The trip was a particularly long one and I wish I had one of these.



Unfortunately it had broken down for the day.


The alternative Tardis was in an even worse shape, and no doors and a nutty woman driving it.


My son, even took his own exhibit.


Of course the usual suspects were out in force.


Not forgetting the other great nemesis of the Doctor.


Then it was time to go home stopping off for one last Torchwood landmark.


Sunday night was bliss with the children going to bed early and I went off to see an old friend.


The above picture is Michael Schenker, who during his first UK Tour with MSG in 1980 was watched by a very young Bob, who was taken by his older brother to see his first ever concert.

I could not imagine letting my son when he is aged 11 to go to a concert with a 14 year old, but those were more enlightened times than we now live in.

Drops Of Jupiter


Once again watching Doctor Who Series 6 Episode 12 "Closing Time" I heard the Doctor saying he was on his way to see the "Alignment of Exodor". Never one to miss a pop culture reference I trawled the Doctor Who fansites and found the following.


" The Alignment of Exodor was an event in which 17 galaxies were in alignment. It was locked in a time stasis field, meaning it could only be seen once. The Eleventh Doctor planned to see the Alignment of Exodor, but instead found himself investigating a Cybermen invasion with Craig Owens. Despite still having some time after this adventure, the Doctor chose to clean up and repair Craig's house so that Sophie wouldn't be angry with him upon her return"


The question I want to know, is this Exidor from Mork and Mindy or Exodar the Draenei Capital City or just something completely unrelated?

Vampires of Venice

The number one entertainment in my house is for all of us to gather round and watch Doctor Who. My wife and I are both big fans of David Tennant and especially the 4th Series with Donna Noble.

The kids prefer the younger and in desperate need of a haircut, Matt Smith. In the lull between series 6 and the newly anticipated series my family have plundered the TV on Demand, for Series 1-4  and have watched everything from Christopher Eccleston to the last David Tennant.

A few weeks ago BBC3 finally started series 5 and every week we eagerly wait to watch the next episode. One of the recent offerings was the Vampires of Venice.

Does the picture above remind of you anything?

Of course WoW has it's own Doctor Who reference from the Borean Tundra and the Ultrasonic Screwdriver.
