April is the cruellest month. We get the new series back, but we lose a much-loved companion. Broadband rates improve for large swathes of the country, and the gummint rushes through legislation to further curtail dodgy downloading (it causes earthquakes – who knew?) A future monarch marries his future queen, and then someone turns up to the service wearing Cthulhu on her head.

This guy? Not making things any better, dude.

Let’s roll out the looking back, then. First up, the sad stuff:

BABELCOLOUR’S LIS SLADEN TRIBUTE
This went up surprisingly quickly, and would have been worth the wait even if it hadn’t. Babelcolour has pretty much become the go-to guy for Who tributes (but let’s hope he doesn’t have to do another one for a long while)

WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN CHEESES
A tear, Sarah-Jane? For cheese? Well, each to their own I guess. 
 

DAVID, DON’T GET YER COAT!
Lovely news for fans of the Doctor in 28mm metal – Heresy Miniatures have reproduced their really good proxy-Doctor Hugh McCrimmon in a coat-less option. It’s a new sculpt, and stands nicely alongside their two Nerdlord variants, Christopher Ecclescake, existing Doctor Hugh and Emily Lake. Great stuff – now do a McGann!

Wait… Crooked Dice have now greened-up a ‘Guru?

WE RECOMMEND…
It’s old news, but we’re nevertheless using this opportunity to do some housekeeping. Sadly, Behind the Sofa closed shop a few months ago, so when we’re finished reading Kasterborous.com, we have to go elsewhere for the keen insight and cruel humour. Luckily Tachyon TV, BTS’s natural successor is easily worth the redirect. Recommended is your daily WhoFix (also available on Facebook) and the on-going Adventures With the Wife In Space, alternately brilliant, cringeworthy and heartening. It’s the sort of idea I’d only envy because if I ever tried it myself at home… hoo boy!

And that’ll do for April.
