Introduction

A Journal of Impossible Things

DOCTOR: I have written down some of these dreams in the form of fiction. Not that it would be of any interest.
JOAN: I’d be very interested.
DOCTOR: Well, I’ve never actually shown it to anyone before.
JOAN: A Journal of Impossible Things.
JOAN: Just look at these creatures.
JOAN: Such imagination.
DOCTOR: It’s become quite a hobby.

Welcome to my blog – A Journal of Impossible Things. Taken of course, from one of my favourite Doctor Who stories – Human Nature by Paul Cornell. A favourite of mine in all its forms – book, TV and audiobook. Most of the articles and reviews here have been taken from posts originally made on the Gallifrey Base forum in a series of themed threads covering mostly TV stories, but also some books, audios and occasionally comic strips. They are collected, revised and organised here. I also write the occasional overview piece or article about a specific aspect of the show, that spans more than a single story review, again these are collected here.

More than that though, I wanted to expand the areas that I cover to include other archive TV – the works of Nigel Kneale, The Prisoner, The Avengers, Doomwatch and others. We’ll see where it takes us!

I hope you find something to enjoy!
