Maybe a story or two a week. I've slowed down a bit lately, though. It's rare for me to go a month without watching at least one story.

In fits and starts.
I'll binge for a while and then not bother for a while.
I'm currently in post-binge mode, and have been focussed on other things. But it will come back. Most likely upon receipt of the S15 box set.

Not much, mainly because I can't find any good copies of it. iPlayer quality is trash, and I'm not paying money for these 50-year-old TV episodes that really should be available for free download at this point.

You can get most of the dvds very cheap from CEX or World of Books. That's if you don't mind second hand. But if you don't do physical media, and think iPlayer isn't good enough, there's still plenty on Pirate Bay and such like. |

I recall that PirateBay didn't really have many of the ones I actually wanted, and when it did they were in a bad quality and barely seeded. It might be worth going down to CEX but I don't have a DVD player. |

Like Ludders it comes and goes. I just finished an abdridged rewatch and I loved it. That was after my love of DW was rekindled by doing those livestreams with my friends. Probably going to leave it a while now. Might have a long overdue rewatch of Xena to be honest, or maybe Trek TOS, but I'll probably dip in and out. When I adapt Scratchman later this year for youtube that will probably get me in the mood for some more stories at least.

Picturing you taking a scalpel to the book to cut out all the James Goss-y bits Haha I'm not actually adapting that version of the book. It's one set in my continuity with one of my Doctors. This Doctor is an alternate 10th Doctor based on Tim Curry and his performance in Clue, with completely new companions. Don't worry no multiverse stuff, he's just the Tenth Doctor in this continuity. It's the same basic plot as Scratchman, but obviously I've added my own twists, and monsters. Also my version of Scratchman is based on Bruce Campbell, as Tom originally wanted a horror icon of the 70s, Vincent Price to play the devil, so I thought why not base it on a modern horror icon. To be honest a lot of the story is inspired by Evil Dead, as I was really into Ash Vs Evil Dead when I wrote it. At that point I wanted to make Scratchman a recurring for my Doctor, and if I ever get back to it, I just may do that. I couldn't use Goss' version however as canon as he spitefully stuck in Jodie, and since I've always been a huge fan of the concept, I thought why not just make it one of my stories. So yeah it will be another version of Scratchman, a Doctor based on Tim Curry vs the Devil based on Bruce Campbell with insane monsters and lots of violence. (Oh and I'll be getting our own Ludders to do some Dalek voices. They only have an extended cameo I'm afraid, but still I look forward to it.) |

so I thought why not base it on a modern horror icon It all sounds fun, but I'm not sure I would count Bruce Campbell as a modern horror icon. This is purely me being pedantic, but if Vincent's a 70s icon, then Bruce belongs in the 80s. Those were their respective heydays. Mind you, I really did enjoy Ash vs Evil Dead, it was a great sendoff (I wish the Chucky show was worth a penny), but I don't think it left an impact on anyone outside of the pre-existing fandom. |

I've watched eff all this year so far. Then again I've watched eff all movies this year so far either. Between the incessant heat sending me to sleep at 7pm and the stress of trying to move, it's difficult to get in the mood for either atm. Mainly been watching Elementary, 90s Bill and YT vids!
