Goodbye from Blink

This is the hardest post I have ever written, and I’ve been planning it for some time. I’m sorry to inform you that this blog will no longer be posting news after today, as although I do enjoy posting Doctor Who news, it simply takes too long to keep the blog updated with posts everyday.

‘Blink’ was opened exactly a year ago today, on 20th February 2010 at 13:30pm, and so it seems appropriate to close it on this date and time. When I began the blog twelve months ago, I could not have imagined that it would have last this long or have been so popular with visitors.

Although this blog is ending, I am not going to suddenly vanish from the Doctor Who community, and I will continue to visit and support everyone’s blogs and fanfic series. I have recently written scripts for both Captin Franko’s and Jay Burke’s new animated Doctor Who series, which you will be able to view when they are released in the next few months. I also have plans of creating my own fanfic series, which if it goes ahead will be released on a new blog later this year.

Before I go, I would like to thank everyone who has ever visited this blog and hope that you have enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed running it. I have had a lot of fun during my year of blogging, and have met some really great people who I hope to keep in touch with in the future.

It’s the end, but the moment has been prepared for… Geronimo!



Captin Franko has released this cinema trailer for his upcoming second season, which is kindly dedicated to Blink.

The Sarah Jane Adventures Series 4 Poll - Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith

A brand new poll is now available on Blink, where you can give a rating out of five stars for the sixth story in the new series of The Sarah Jane Adventures, ‘Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith’.

The results of this poll will be revealed on Monday morning.

The Sarah Jane Adventures Series 4 Finale

After eleven brand new episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures, the fourth series concludes tonight at 5:15pm on the CBBC channel. This series appears to have significantly raised the bar for the standard of The Sarah Jane Adventures, and the show does seem to have benefited from the fact that Russell T Davies has more time to concentrate on this without Doctor Who as well.

Although there has been the usual mix of positives and negatives, the overall quality of storytelling has drastically improved from the previous series. The only problem which I still have with it is that there is an overly cheesy ending to every story, although this is to be expected from a programme aimed at a younger audience than most Doctor Who episodes.
