Steven Moffat has written more Doctor Who than anyone else, and yet still he comes out with solid-gold five-star bangers. Long may he continue.

The advantage to accidentally being five issues behind with DWM is I can read the 15th Doctor’s whole first comic strip story in one sitting — the prime advantage to that being it was over more quickly…

Thus far I've been linking to episodes on YouTube because that's the only place to watch the first 19 episodes of Campaign 2; but from here on, episodes are also available on Twitch or Beacon. YouTube is the only platform where you can watch the episodes free, but with ads, so the other two are worth mentioning because, depending how you want to do things, their ad-free options might be better. For example, you can pay for YouTube Premium to get ad-free viewing there, but if you have Amazon Prime you can subscribe to a Twitch channel for free — which I do, so I've subscribed to the CR Twitch channel and intend to watch episodes there going forward.

Having weirdly gone down last month (despite my collection only ever getting bigger), what will the runnng time count do this time?

Total running time of collection (approx.):
560 days, 10 hours, and 2 minutes.
(Up 7 days, 3 hours, and 23 minutes from last month.)

Well, that's quite an increase — my last yearly increase was in the 24-day ballpark, so this represents almost a third of that — for one fairly regular month? Suggests I did do something wrong last month to make the total go down. Oh well, hopefully all is on track now...

See you next week, faithful reader.
