@nrodovsky.bsky.socialThe BBC should sue for copyright infringement. That's recognizably a Baby Adipose from #DoctorWho.
@alexwilcock.bsky.social#DoctorWho Weekly started by grabbing its readers…
OTD MCMLXXIX: The Iron Legion invades Stockbridge
The IXth Legion of a Roman Empire that never fell falls upon an English village
Fortunately also OTD 1979: Doctor Who Magazine (née Weekly) has reporter Dave Gibbons there to capture the scene!
![Doctor Who Weekly Issue 1
Doctor Who and the Iron Legion, page 1:
Fantastic Dave Gibbons art of robot legionaries with machine guns and stick grenades blazing through an English village, commanded by a tank topped by eagle-headed General Ironicus
“They fought their way across a thousand planets -- robot veterans of the Eternal War -- destroying, with ruthless discipline, all who stood in their way!
“And now, the peaceful tranquillity of the English countryside is rudely shattered as they appear -- as if from nowhere -- brutally dragging people out and razing their houses to the ground!
“And yet… For all the robots’ strangeness, there is something… grimly familiar about them!”

@alexwilcock.bsky.socialOTD 2014 #DoctorWho Mummy On the Orient Express
Stylish, mysterious & unsettling
This Doctor gets both to be his most Doctorish so far and to show off the most hilariously appalling bedside manner
“You knew this was no relaxing break. You knew this was dangerous!”
“I didn’t KNOW. I certainly hoped.”
@cwalshuk.bsky.socialI was just about to mention the Streisand Effect in relation to this! Given that the celebrity whose t-shirt they've blurred is a #GoT #HotD and #DoctorWho star, I'd expect the potential for fan activism to be high.
