Was it Amy whose hotness almost destroyed the universe? 'Cause I don't remember any other sex workers, but I also don't remember that happening.

It’s in one of series 6 DVD shorts, I think? Rory breaks the TARDIS because his wife is wearing a skirt that’s a little too revealing, and said breakage of the TARDIS is implied to have dire consequences if they don’t fix it pronto.

Am I weirdly sheltered/out-of-date or is calling a kissogram a sex worker a teeny bit of a stretch?

It’s incredibly sanitised sexual entertainment, but it’s still sexual entertainment. As far as I’m aware, legally, at least, it’s no different from other forms of stripping or erotic dance. Also, it’s Steven Moffat. Man can’t help but needlessly sexualise his major female characters.

I wouldn't have thought of a lingerie model or a "booth babe" as a sex worker, but fair enough. I was again wondering if we would hear the middle eight properly again in the televised theme music, but I heard that apparently Murray Gold hates it and can't help being unwelcomely reminded of "Do They Know It's Christmas."

Eh, booth babes are probably on the other side of the line, which is so tricky to actually define that even the Supreme Court of the United States was like “yeah, we don’t have an objective test”. But, like, I’m pretty sure the dialogue has a line like “you broke into my house; it was either the cop costume or the maid costume”, which indicates she’s probably not the type of kissogram that shows up at the office with a box of chocolates.

I'd always thought of a kissogram as being lightly naughty, like something designed to make Steve blush in front of his work mates when the saucy woman delivers the message and gives him the kiss. So having slightly fetish outfits is part of the whole concept, and doesn't suggest anything more interactively sexual than that. Am I confused about this? From what you've said, is a kissogram normally someone just wearing ordinary clothes who shows up with a box of chocolates and then gives a kiss? Is this a cultural difference? Why am I writing so much about this? Am I a kissogram?

I mean, there are kissograms of the "make Steve blush at work" variety, but even in 2010 they were a dying breed because, you know, just takes one person who doesn't consent to it to report you to HR. Most likely, Amy was the type you hire from an agency for your mate's stag night, they arrive at the pub saying they need to arrest you "for being too sexy", and give you a little striptease and lapdance while your mates holler from the sidelines. The sort of harmless prank that Rory's mates did for his stag do in the pre-credits scene of Vampires.

I feel so weird that the Fourteenth Doctor's first adventure is a DWM comic script and he doesn't even get a hint of post-regeneration trauma. He's just like, "oh. huh. i'm this face again. huh. anyway, time to have an adventure" and I feel that's extremely jarring given how much buildup the "what. what. what!" thing got at the end of the last episode. Is anyone even following the story? What's the deal there? Is it just 10 again, or does he have a different personality?

It'll probably be 10, but a little bit slower and more mature, to reflect the fact that David Tennant has aged since he left the role.

Colin is The Definitive Big Finish Doctor as far as I'm concerned. I absolutely adore the BF Sixth Doctor. I'd go so far as to say he's in my top three or four Doctors ever, and he probably edges out Paul McGann even (though it's close) The fact that he got the chance to have his interpretation bloom is up there along with McGann's 50th anniversary appearance in terms of entirely welcome and unpredictable developments. Love it

The brilliant thing about big finishs large catalogue is that there is still so much 6th doctor content I've yet to hear! There's a good portion from around 2008ish - 2016 of sixth doctorness I haven't listened to at all and I look forward to getting to it! We're so lucky that he decided to come back to doctor who after everything they happened during his tenure.

You're doubly lucky, because his run with Evelyn Smythe (Maggie Stables) is the best he has and as far as I'm concerned some of the best Who ever. Seriously, start with The Marian Conspiracy and go from there. They're an amazing team and bring out the best in each other. Wonderful stuff
