Turn On, Tune in…and pay heed.
The Counter Culture, the one great promise afforded to many who would see the world for its truth after World War Two, was sold a lie in many respects, it was one that was compounded by the sincerity of belief of two people to whom had decency in their heart at the outset, and one that carried a message that there is more to life than the capitalist scream that saw millions adopt an alien experience, running themselves into the ground in search of The American Dream.

The Time War rages, and the Doctor is unable to offer much help; and for once it is because he is trying desperately to help himself in solving perhaps one of the greatest threats to all his existence ever.
Degeneration is the key, and whilst the Doctor has felt its effects as the process, he perhaps has not gleaned the full problem that awaits, and who finer to paint the picture than the recent addition to the Whoniverse than that of the fearsome Timelord, The Eleven.

The Time War is a moment in science fiction history that sends waves of anticipation and excitement down the spine of those to whom understand the sheer significance it afforded the fanatics and dedicated buffs of the long running British series Doctor Who.

Even after two centuries, the names Burke and Hare are enough to spark dialogue and conversation in the darkest corners of any Edinburgh public house; it is in the collective DNA of the city, the fear that persists as the cold rain hits the streets of the narrow old town that human life is considered so cheap that murder for profit is an acceptable thought within the criminal fraternity, and those to whom we entrust our end of life care to, almost always those of a professional class.

There are moments which truly bring existence into sharp focus. The individual shares the exceptional with maybe just a few others in their lifetime, but what makes one person stop and think is not the same as that which is witnessed with astonishment by the collective human race when that moment sparks a revolution of thought.

We never think of how a disease comes into being, how it is ‘born’, how it evolves…we leave that to the scientists and we react with surprise when it is put to us that the wild speculation we have gossiped over when a friend is diagnosed with a particular illness, is in fact wrong, that it is far more sinister than we imagine, but also more acutely disturbing for our species.

When does imagination cross the line, when does a podcast in the modern age transform itself into being a ritual to which people flock to and see it as more than just an exercise in indulgence or a way for a lesser-known story to be revealed.
Podcasting has become a form of entertainment that has opened up the narrative revolution in such a way that it could be argued that it rivals the emergence of the novel in the transformation of how a story can be told by all and listened by everyone.

James Robert McCrimmon is a name that brings arguably the vast majority of Doctor Who fans happy memories and fondness for the entire Patrick Troughton era. What though is in that name, and despite only returning once on screen since the character returned to his right place in history, that marks him out as consistently being voted among the finest of companions that the Time traveller ever had by their side.

The rise of the social influencer is perhaps one that was only to be expected in a world where the narrative has altered from one of substance to one where you only have to be seen as being presentable, to wear and say the right things and be an image of those who, for whatever reason believe that you are the embodiment of success, to be noticed.
