I'd love to claim this is something special - it isn't. It is being written by a middle aged "rebel without a clue" who thought that Tumblr might be something worth trying.  Of course, that could be the flaw in the whole plan.

imagine someone trying to do that

“so how’d he die”

“motherfucker ate 10 million bananas at once. we tried to stop him.”

bananas georg

Bananas are hot.

I think we already knew that…

On my toast this morning I had a very ripe banana and crunchy peanut butter.

Should I call my doctor, or just stop using the microwave for a few days?

….I dunno about you guys, but I’m imagining taking him by surprise but running into his arms and hugging him while his hands are up in the air.

Sounds fun!

Also, bring Peter to the Doctor Who Prom. I’m sure he could orchestrate(?) the musicians!

Ahh - one of my favourite Midsommer Murders. The organists punch up in the pub scene still makes me laugh even though I don't think it was meant to be funny.

The "where's Laurence?" Question that was never truly answered (I mean did she get a new patio or what?).

The first time I saw a Capaldi hoodie.

The truly eye watering acting, from a lot of cast members ...

Off to Camelot…

the tardis. Because it’ll bring me anywhere!

When I was a kid (which was a LONG time ago), I was convinced that my grandmother’s wardrobe was the way to Narnia. Cute huh?

Well it was, until the door closed shut on me and I was stuck in there for four hours with 20 moth balls for company.

And guess what … Turns out it WASN’T the secret portal to Narnia at all. AND I now have a mortal dread of moth balls. 😂

(think twice before Googling "moth balls" - I'm just putting that warning out there)

So sadly Peter Capaldi was not nominated by BAFTA this year for his amazing performance in Doctor Who Series 9.

I really am disappointed. It utterly astounds me that he was overlooked.

But you know what? He’s our winner. That’s right. Peter Capaldi gained himself an entire legion of fans when he stepped into the role of the Doctor. He had a loyal dedicated fan base from TTOI and some even before too. But Who introduced me and many others to a wonderful talented and generous man.

Peter has shown himself to be the most incredible and astonishing actor and you only need watch Heaven Sent to know what I mean. Hell right from Deep Breath you can see it. As he stepped into the role of the Twelfth Doctor and made it his own, he blew us all away. He gave and continues to give us the most magical performances. We are so lucky to watch this man in action! What a gift!

Peter gives himself in so many other ways too. His time for fans and his dedication to ensure people get selfies, autographs etc is nothing short of remarkable. He is the most gracious, kindest and humble man I’ve ever had the privilege of meeting. His charm, wit and kindness speaks of a man who carries such grace and class. Thank you Peter.

So while You may not have been nominated for a BAFTA Peter, know this: We love you! We think you’re amazing. And appreciate all that you do for us.

You’re our winner Peter.
