Things to do when you're stuck at home...

Attenion Whovians: Big Finish will provide one of their Doctor Who audios per week for free. This week, it's the first War Doctor story, "The Innocent", starring John Hurt and Jacqueline Pearce. I downloaded already.

(One of various great things about Doctor Who: dissatisfaction with a current canon does not mean you can't get new installments from other canon eras, courtesy of the audios.)

The Way to the Stars is an essay by Una McCormack describing her road from the Blake's 7 mailing list to writing novels for various incarnations of Star Trek (most recently Disco and Picard) as well as Doctor Who.

Also, while looking up something else I saw that US Amazon Prime Video has Kästner and Little Tuesday, which is a movie I raved about when I saw it at the Munich Film Festival four years ago here, telling you all why you need to see it. (Short pitch: brilliant author of satires, poetry and children's books & kid, neither fictional, try to survive and keep their integrity throughout the Third Reich.)

Meanwhile, Netflix (at least German Netflix, and I hope in other regions, too) has The People vs Fritz Bauer, another awesome film, which is praised and reviewed by yours truly here. (Short pitch: Gay Jewish Social Democrat Attorney vs Nazis - after WWII. And not the Quentin Tarantino way, because Fritz Bauer was a real and truly heroic person.)

Thanks for the heads up on the Doctor Who freebie!
I love all the places coming out with things to help everyone get by!

Did you already hear that Moffat has also written a short story about 13 that's available on the official Doctor Who website? I haven't dared to go check it out myself yet since I haven't yet watched the latest season.

Thanks for the heads up on Big Finish -- now let's see if I can figure out the whole download thing. ;-) Marty meets these folks at Chicago Tardis every year so we really should be more tuned in to it.
