Nine Worlds 2015: Day Three. August 9th, 2015 (02:11 pm). Sadly this report is not what was expected, as instead of being at Heathrow, I am elsewhere in London recovering from a bout of ill health overnight. Everything seems to be going well from what I can gather on Twitter; and I'm sorry to have missed the discussion on whether history is a science, with relation to Doctor Who. Reminding me of studying the Annalistes. As a first-year undergraduate. Nine Worlds 2015: Day Two. August 8th, 2015 (10:17 pm).

BBC charter review - The Quest of the Parrot Knight
http://parrot-knight.livejournal.com/1125863.html
July 16th, 2015 (11:30 pm). I intend to complete the BBC charter review questionnaire. But was struck by how little I really know about the principles guiding (or purporting to guide) the BBC and how they have changed over time. The BBC Trust website maintains a handy archive of past and present BBC charters. To chart this process and help provide some (but my no means all) of the answers to the (admittedly largely rhetorical) questions raised in the media in the last few days. A Cry for Help.

Panels and a Joss Whedon talk have been attended as well as the expression of genius that was Star Trek Pictionary. Fatigue led me to abandon a further panel and head east via the petrol station, the car having been employed as a faster (if not cheaper) way of getting to Heathrow than the Piccadilly Line.

Nine Worlds 2015: Day Two. August 8th, 2015 (10:17 pm). Technology problems mean that this is being written on a phone rather than a laptop. But it's all wonderful, despite my not being able to get into a panel this evening on the fantasy of white history - I've come across a black West Indian Anglican clergyman in Bath and Wells diocese in the 1690s and would have liked to have thrown him into the mix. Instead, I attended a Star Trek. So didn't get all the Garak jokes. Earlier, the Doctor Who. To Bed wi...
