Jacob @jacobaugust.bsky.social · 20/09/2026The Lanny Budd series is incredible. I managed to hunt down the pulpy 1970s paperback reprints, but I wish the series was still in print.

Reposted by JacobAlasdair Beckett-King @misterabk.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Maybe next time the Doctor/companion could attempt to achieve something, placing them in dramatic tension with some kind of antagonist, and their reactions to adversity could tell us something about them / the human experience.
