31 March 1973: broadcast of sixth episode of Frontier in SpaceSmith and Jones, starting Season Three of New Who; first appearance of Freeman Agyeman as Martha Jones. Martha’s hospital is abruptly transported to the Moon, where the Judoon are tracking down a criminal.
Three quarters of the way through the year now, and past the January-March hump; April-June will be less intense. Nine of the 26 seasons of Old Who ended in the first quarter of the year – six of them in March, including the two-episode-per week seasons of the 1980s which are of course particularly intense for Whoniversaries.
I will stop posting Whoniversaries to and my own journal after 30 June, since I started on 1 July last year. But I would very much like to set up a permanent feed for people who want to continue seeing them. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I might do this – or better, can anyone help directly? At present the information exists only in LJ posts, but should be easy enough to extract and to update as necessary.

The Last Unicorn is very charming and definitely a classic. The Hunger Games is a quick and absorbing read and, in my opinion, definitely worth the relatively small time investment required to get through it (though I’ve heard the rest of the books in the series aren’t as good, so I haven’t bothered to read them). I’ve heard very good things about The Lies of Locke Lamora, though I haven’t read it.
Didn’t like Neuromancer, huh? I have to admit it didn’t quite live up to its reputation for me, but I wouldn’t say I disliked it.
