A good ghost story at Christmas is fitting, it reminds us not to take life for granted, it urges us to think of those we have lost, not just in the passing of the calendar year, but throughout our lives; for in that memory, we understand that time is fleeting, it is corporeal, and at times the lesson it wishes to teach is one to which is required to scare us into doing the right thing.

To get a British comedy series to a hundred episodes is no mean feat, it is rare, it takes perseverance, and a following that almost pleads with the makers to continue the story line of a much-loved character and those who are family, friends, and the recipients of the farce that often ensues.

There are some invitations that should be returned to the sender with the decline option fully enforceable and expected. For in the rush to entertain the public we allow a multitude of dramas to occupy our time that in all honesty are far from the stocking filler treat that is demanded, the thrill ride and the belief in the intelligence of collective humanity that we frame when presented eagerly to the world of the armchair detective.

Film appreciation is in part understanding the chaos that is suffered during production, it is the point where the audience or the casual onlooker can be informed of the trials and tribulations behind the scenes, and where it might lead to understanding that the cracked porcelain vase of celluloid has been neglected or undergone what could arguably be described as a form of sabotage or cinematic early death.

The Daleks may well be the ultimate embodiment of what it means to think of an enemy that is relentless, unfeeling, without emotion, and whilst you know that they will never understand compassion or empathy, they are but dust when the fan comes to think of their creator, when Davros enters the narrative, for in just one being you have a fictional character that can be seen in the most evil of men that have ever walked the Earth; that this creature who first locked intellect with the Doctor in Genesis of the Daleks, is in every way the master of genocide, of propaganda and lies, and to whom the viewer associates completely with the malevolent wickedness of Fascism.

If ever there was an arc of stories that deserved to be told for television within the Doctor Who universe, then The Time War would surely be the set that the fandom would overwhelmingly clamour, would petition in their droves to have given precedence over all others.

Do we ever really contemplate what it would mean to witness our final experience of dusk, that The Last Sundown we see with our own eyes is not one of mystery, of appreciating the majesty of the Universe, of even hoping to observe one final emergence of what was once considered a god peek over the horizon, but one that is shrouded by a shrug of indifference as we assume that all we have will be repeated the next day, and the one after that for time immemorial.

There is only one thing in our life that is remembered more than an enduring love, and that is the break up that came before it, the moment when your heart and soul is crushed under the weight of the delusion that you have suffered that one person could have been the one, and little regard they felt for your state of mind as they leave you in pieces; the Separations of spirit are not just the acceptance of the bleak, but the catalyst to be better as you reflect on all that took place.
