Under Siege?

Oh no! The wonder emporium has gone KERFLOOEY!

I was kind of hoping for a cravat. A bolo would probably have been too far, but it's time for another cravat, doggone it.

The Twelfth Doctor's costume revealed.

I'll take February 18th.

A for me.

"It was all a dream" is the iPod Nano of fiction conceits.
