So there’s a fictional Wessex University in Doctor Who and I *think* in the Demon Headmaster. But no search results at all? Is Google just terrible now or is this a gap in TARDIS Wiki?

Here, Dodo’s camouflage is meant to break up her shape against the background, making it difficult for German U-Boats to ascertain her range, speed, and direction. (Joke stolen from Owen at Riverside)

Since life on Mars is in the news, here’s a graphic I did to illustrate the incredibly compact system of Trappist 1. This shows the relative sizes each planet would appear in the sky, if standing on the 3rd planet (tho they’d never appear at once like this). Panspermia would be very easy here.

Sun and moon sizes as seen from Earth, compared to Trappist 1 and six of its planets, as if seen from a seventh. Two of the Trappist planets are bigger in the sky than our sun and moon, and the rest are very visible.

I saw this yesterday and some Googling suggests it could be rare and maybe totally unheard of in my area? This was on the Wirral, if there’s any bug people who may be interested. Or I could have totally got the wrong end of the stick.

For 33 years I thought this guy’s name was “Air-cool Platini”. Today I found out his name is “Hercule.” 😅

Gav Rymill @themindrobber.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

Ashad is just bloody great. Hands down my favourite cyberdesign of the new series, and the fact he’s not robotic in his movements is just so cool. I know they’re supposed to be emotionless but a bit David Banks style swagger is very enjoyable. Wish we’d seen this design as in undamaged form.

Gav Rymill @themindrobber.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

I don’t think it’s ever explained what did turn this bloke into a cave artist. Is it in the book? I guess something like the Silurians psychic brain control stuff leaking out from the caves to the centre? Or is the suggestion that he ran across them when they were rewiring the power systems? 🤔

A still from The Silurians showing a bloke who went mad and drew cave monsters on the wall.

Gav Rymill @themindrobber.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

Much as I love the Silurians, there are some curious story quirks. Like Quinn never having seen his allies despite them jumping out at other people in the caves or showing off their dinosaur.

Good luck cheating on your homework, kids. This is bonkers. 🤦‍♂️

It’s a travesty that there’s a bit in the Silurians where Dr Quinn gives a Silurian a lift in his little car and we don’t get to see that. One of those really awkward silent drives where you can’t think of anything to say.
