A Stutter in Time

Clara Oswald has been travelling in her TARDIS with Ashildr, but ultimately, she know knows Gallifrey is calling.  All paths lead to the Extraction Chamber, between one heartbeat and her last - which could be coming sooner than she thought. The Quantum Shades are aware that their contract has been broached and despite the gimmick with the Neural Block, time isn't healing. They're closing in on her. When Clara receives a distress signal, she follows it to the planet of Harth-To. Unbeknown to Clara, the Doctor has also received a distress call leading him to  the same planet. Who sent the signal? And why are the Shadow Proclamation terrorising the planet?

Question to all followers

Just a little something that could help me out with a project. 

What do you want to see on television?

Are there any topics/people/discussions you feel are underrepresented?

I’m running to you, before you fade from me.

Do you know like we were saying, about the earth revolving? It’s like when you’re a kid, the first time they tell you that the world is turning and you just can’t quite believe it ‘cause everything looks like it’s standing still. I can feel it…the turn of the earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour. The entire planet is hurtling around the sun at sixty-seven thousand miles an hour. And I can feel it. We’re falling through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world.

By the time I got to New York, I barely recognised them. A little old man came up to me in the BBC America offices, and I realised it was a hungover Matt Smith in a state of toxic shock. Then I went to see Karen, who was being interviewed, and it was as though her skeleton had been confiscated! Peter and Jenna in contrast are rather restrained. He doesn’t drink at all. She has an occasional glass of wine. They’re very sensible and grown-up, but just as brilliant. I’ve been so lucky. Without exception, our regulars have been the most hard working, talented, lovely people - and lovely people get on with lovely people, so I know that Peter and Pearl will hit it off. In fact they have already.

Steven Moffat compares the two main TARDIS teams he’s overseen by recalling a promotional trip to the US with Matt and Karen. (via kitt66)

Coming from Northern Ireland, the debate has always been over whether or not you call yourself ‘British’ or ‘Irish.’ 

As someone who found it difficult to identify as either of those terms, due to having friends and family from both nationalities, and seeing the positives on both sides of the coin, I always considered myself above all: European. 

‘European’ was the safe term. Ireland and the UK were both part of the EU, and geographically, we were close to mainland Europe. We were part of a bigger whole, part of a united set of nations bigger than any Irish conflict. 

While NI has voted to stay part of the EU, it is the English and Welsh vote deciding to take away the option of ‘European’ from many on this small state, despite the fact NI is affected more than any other area of the UK. 

In two years time we may no longer be part of the EU, but myself, and a lot of other people my age, will continue to identify as European.
