Neil Gaiman riffs on the Doctor
From Neil Gaiman, awesome author and very big Doctor Who fan:

I know that David Tennant's Hamlet isn't till next year. And lots of people are going to be doing Dr Who in Hamlet jokes, so this is just me getting it out of the way early, to avoid the rush...

"To be, or not to be, that is the question. Weeelll.... More of A question really. Not THE question. Because, well, I mean, there are billions and
billions of questions out there, and well, when I say billions, I mean, when
you add in the answers, not just the questions, weeelll, you're looking at
numbers that are positively astronomical and... for that matter the other
question is what you lot are doing on this planet in the first place, and er,
here, did anyone try just pushing this little red button?"

Review: Doctor Who, Episode 4.7, "The Unicorn and the Wasp"
Gareth Roberts, writer of last season's "The Shakespeare Code", pens the latest New Who story about the Doctor meeting an historical figure. It was Charles Dickens in the first season, Queen Victoria in the second, Shakespeare in the third, and now it's another famous writer. Without revealing the identity of the writer, I'll just say that this episode is very much a fun little homage to their stories while also trying to explain a mysterious event in their life. It's also the first Who story to be explicitly written as a comedy since the 1966 First Doctor serial, "The Gunfighters".

It's crisply directed by Graeme Harper, who began his Who career as a floor assistant for the 1966 Second Doctor serial, "The Power of the Daleks" and began directing for the show with the 1984 Fifth Doctor serial, "The Caves of Androzani" (although he unofficially worked on the 1981 Fourth Doctor serial, "Warriors' Gate" as co-director). He balances the drawing room comedy and the action to provide a satisfying episode.

While in some ways it's an unsubstantial episode that doesn't advance the show's mythology or this season's story arc, it's pleasantly entertaining and a nice change of pace. If you're a fan of the writer in question, as I am, you'll appreciate the nods to their works.

Fic: Bought and Paid For, by nepthys_uk, slash, Brown Cortina
Title: Bought and Paid For

Author: nepthys_uk

Characters/Pairing: Sam/Gene.

Rating: Brown Cortina

Word count: approx.4,600.

Warnings: dirty talk, a bit of kink, a passing flirtation with handcuffs, and extremely messy sheets. Smut galore, basically.

Disclaimer: Fully owned by Kudos and the BBC.

Notes: A slight change from my usual *coughs*, inspired by various rentboy!Sam fics: an alternative take on a prompt from the anonymous pornfest: “- Sam wonders why Warren's rentboy is the only other person he's seen in 1973 who shares his preference for leather jackets and tight trousers; Gene has an obvious suggestion. Roleplay ensues” (not that the leather jacket plays a large part, alas). Did I mention the smut already?

Warmest thanks to

dorsetgirl for wielding the red pen.

Tom Baker Master? Can it be done?
[cross posted at

baker_bakery]

Can Tom play the Master? Or, to be more accurate, what sort of Master would he play? I mean, regardless if we was joking or not in all those interviews (which I think he wasnt) Would he just be the Doctor, but evil? Or would he be, as I'd like to think, a true monster?

Discuss away. ^_^
