Behind The Sofa, the place where my Doctor Who reviews appear, is closing after six years

TV The time has come and the moment was prepared for. As Neil announces, one of my other online haunts, Behind The Sofa, the place where my Doctor Who reviews appear, is closing after six years.  Much of anything worth saying is in his obituary post which also includes relevant contacts notes that the content will still be there in the foreseeable future and what content.  Just look at those archives.

Being a fan writing for fans has been an entertaining challenge across those years, even if I've not necessarily enjoyed the desperate half hour after an episode has finished when I've a blank page and no particular inspiration as to how to start, then rewriting whatever I'd typed in at midnight so that it made sense.

As Neil notes, I plan to continue just posting reviews here, when one door closes another opens etc.  But I do think that you're a slightly different audience so that offers a new challenge.  How inside can I be?  How much exposition will I need to include?  Perhaps I'll be freer since I won't be trying to fit within a cocktail of opinions in the same way for substantially fewer readers.

Anyway, here's an old Babelcolour video by way of tribute:

    I hope you don't change your style of review too much because I really liked how much it was for the Doctor Who Fan at Behind the Sofa, and even though some of the references went over my head, I'd rather that than a "dumbed down" version. Besides, some of your hardcore Who trivia is really interesting.
