Archaeology - time travel without a TARDIS

Hi All,

Just a quick post to let you know that I'm heading away for three weeks on an archaeological excavation, so this blog will go quiet until late February.

For those of you that know New Zealand, we are going to be excavating at the site of a contractor's camp near Pukerangi that is associated with the construction of the Otago Central Railway. The camp was occupied in the 1880s.

As I like to think of it, an archaeological excavation of the site is going to give us the best understanding of the daily lives of the workers at this camp site that we can get without our own TARDIS!

I've enjoyed posting so far. When I get back, I'll start on the first of my Doctor Who themed HotT armies. The first of these armies is going to be based upon the 2010 episodes The Time of Angels and Flesh and Stone.

In the meantime, I'll leave you with this, which I stumbled upon again recently on Youtube and had a good chuckle at:


Doctor Who and the Curse of Fatal Death, a Doctor Who parody written by Steven Moffat, current head writer and executive producer of Doctor Who and broadcast during the Red Nose Day charity telethon in the United Kingdom in 1999.

Bye for now,

Nick.
