  By tigtog on 2013-03-13 • ( 23 )

  

  Episode 6 of Season 7 will go to air on Saturday March 30th in the UK and USA, and there’s an intriguingly Who-shaped TBA spot sitting on Auntie’s schedule for Sunday 31st March here in Australia.

  We seem to have lost the last few days of posts/comments, at least for the moment (thus the choice of ‘meh’ image to accompany this post). So if something you said recently is still moving you, by all means repeat it here.
