I draw stuff. Mostly Doctor Who stuff and portraits. I also read a lot and do plenty of hill walking. My OCD gets in the way at times, but I try not to let it.

I've reluctantly come to the decision that I'm not going to carry on with the daily posts. I'm grateful for all the interaction I've had from people over the last nearly 2 years, but for a number of reasons it's time to stop. But I will carry on with my week-a-day watch through!

Now that's an interesting letter printed in issue 1360 of TV Comic, the first issue of 1978.

I'm going to keep the account here, and may post the odd thing, but sorting all the extra stuff ready for these posts each day just wasn't really worth the time and effort.

And here are a few bits I photographed recently from Richard's collection. (A few days ago I had finally arrived at where his TV Comic collection started). A promo sheet from Target books, a page from the Doctor Who Winter Special 1977, and the cover of a 1976 Look-in.

Before I stop, here are a few of the gems I was planning to share on the relevant days... One of the few audio tapes I kept - the first episode I recorded (on its repeat). A couple of Radio Times clippings, and my typed copy of the start of Deadly Assassin (done that week).

This place was already declining when I started, on the 60th anniversary, but now there's hardly anyone left. And my friend Richard, who's let me photograph loads of things from his collection, has had lots of health problems - so I can't really visit and borrow stuff as often.
