Countdown to New Who: Advent 2016: Day 23

I can't do a Doctor Who Advent without giving some love to one of, if not the most popular character to have ever spun-off from the long-running series. Yes, I'm talking about the ageless wonder himself, Captain Jack Harkness!

    Brilliantly played by the ageless wonder John Barrowman, Capt. Jack is a con man, time travelling, and Lothario to anything that walks. He invented the term 'omni-sexual!'  But the good captain is also one of the Doctor's most loyal allies, even if he's more willing to do things beyond the Doctor's moral code as the head of Torchwood.
What every Torchwood fan dreams of... a Weevil under the mistletoe!

    While Barrowman is widely considered one heck of an actor, very few know that he's also an accomplished singer. So my Advent gift today is a link to some of John Barrowman's Christmas tunes from his CD 'The Making of Me."

 Enjoy...

Countdown to New Who: Advent 2016: Day 19


    A couple of years ago, the BBC created the Doctor Who Experience. It's an interactive museum dedicated to the over 53-year history of the longest running science-fiction series in TV history. Set in Porth Teigr on the iconic Cardiff Bay, near where many modern episodes of Doctor Who and it's sister series, Torchwood have been filmed.
    If only I had the money to fly to Wales...
    So my Advent gift to you today is a link to the Doctor Who Experience website. Give it a very long tour. It's the next best thing to actually being there and the folks behind this do an excellent job making you feel as if you are there. And if you can get across the pond, there's a link to buy tickets! 

   Enjoy...
