To be more precise, it’s Day Zero of Season Two (2025) of Doctor Who, or it’s Day Zero of Series 15 if you’re ignoring the break in numbering since the Disney co-funding partnership in 2023, or it’s Day Zero of Season 41 if you’re also ignoring the break in numbering since the show’s 21st century revival in 2005 (respect!).

Lost In Transition (or Why I’m Dugga Done with 2025)
It’s the last day of 2025 and I’m not entirely sure where it all went. You know, I sometimes think about how the different eras of each Doctor coincide with each of the different phases of my life. (Conisder this to be my Eras Tour!)

A lot of blogs have been written this year about things Russell T Davies has said and done. People are asking questions such as “What is the future of the show?” and “Why has he decided to bring Billie Piper back in an unspecified role?” These questions aren’t important to me. There’s only one question that matters to me, here, in this particular blog: “What has happened to my number 57?”

It’s 3pm and I’m trying to work but all I can think about is what if Mary Whitehouse was alive and kicking in the year 2025.
What does she think about TikTok? MrBeast? The Online Safety Act?
And then she discovers there’s hot people in Doctor Who, has a heart attack, and promptly dies again.

An unexpected new entry in the Untitled Goose Game franchise, but a welcome one nevertheless.
Netflix have announced a new four part crime thriller by Charlie Brooker, starring Paddy Considine, Georgina Campbell and Lena Headey.
It’s called UNTITLED CHARLIE BROOKER PROJECT (working title) and is now in production.
