Some of you may have heard this already, but below is the opening credit sequence to episode 1. Nothing snazzy or clever as I haven't got really clever editing software, but hey. Just a taster!

Turn Left Transcript
What follows is a transcript of all my tweets on the episode 'Turn Left'. This does not include replies to other people, just my literal thoughts as it unfolds:
Since we've had no more votes, Turn Left gets your vote. In 10 mins we'll start (15:10) using hashtag #turnleft unsurprisingly.
#DoctorWho #TurnLeft Press Play now!
Whole planet of Chinatown. Omnomnom #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
No I don't want to buy your tat. I have to go do a reference to Planet of The Spiders #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Chan She looks like Chantho Tho. Odd that. #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
You would have thought the Chancellor Flavia music would make Donna shut up #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Epic space opera coupled with a soap. Like Blake's 7 meets Brookside. #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
I have a beetle rucksack. What a liberty! #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Longest most unnessasary pre credits sequence. But Billie Piper's name in the credits so, yum. #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Donna had been getting good up until this point but so far she's chanelling her sketch show. #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Really pleased to see the same events as before from a different perspective. #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Yay! Greyhound 15! Pity he has to break the news of The Doctor's death #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Tyler's back! And this time she's not sobbing... Yet. #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Does anyone know what Cliff does all day? #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Oliver Morgenstern! He was awesome. The Doctor, Martha, it's turning into the last episode of Blake's 7. #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
NO! Not Sarah Jane! Anyone but her. NO! Clyde and Maria die as well? Nooooo! #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Tyler, you are so subtle. #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Spose Rose adjusting the timeline won't make too much difference after all the mess so far. Love the refs. to Mr Noble. #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Guinevere range of satellites. I love the ref back to The Christmas Invasion and Voyage of the Damned #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
This really should have been a special or a xmas special story. Bit too big a concept for normal series #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Bernard Cribbins is such a legend and a hero. #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
RTD carrying on his US are amazingly fat storyline. #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Credit to RTD, this is one of his most political stories. Handled so sensitively. And dramatically. #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Wilf squaring up to UNIT. Brilliant! Donna accepting Rose will help even though she doesn't know her is great. #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Torchwood sting under dialogue. Great stuff. Just Rose left now. #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
This was the perfect place to put Rose. Forget her later appearance. This is perfect. Tate finally being believable. #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Really nicely handled WWII references. RTDs finest hour. Cribbins at his most beautiful. #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Leaving a camera on Sylvia and just letting her act is brilliant. Graeme Harper you genius. #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Nice reversal of how Donna first discovered the TARDIS . #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
TARDIS set looks so beautiful. I miss it so much. Hurts seeing it so unwell. Seeing it die... #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Finally, Rose Tyler does get character development. And the most difficult news she has to deliver. . #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
UNIT and Torchwood joining forces to save the universe. Donna Noble, hero. Hero music and my favourite sound effect. . #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Seeing someone realise that they have to die is so heart breaking. Like Pete Tyler in Father's Day . #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Running. Always with the running. . #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Last Chance Saloon music. Left or Right. Left or Right. . #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Donna, not one of my favourite companions but it still destroys me seeing her die. . #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Never have I been so pleased to see The Doctor. The Trickster's Brigade. #SJA reference ftw! #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
The Doctor's setting up the specials series! #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Bad Wolf . #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
I love the Cloister Bell. Petrifies me, but I love hearing it. . #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
It's the end of the Universe and for once, there's no exaggerating. It actually is. #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Harriet Jones, UNIT, Torchwood and The Shadow Proclamation all in one story! RTD you did brilliantly. #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Turn Left is such a beautiful story. Tragic, dramatic, terrifying and powerful. How TV should be! #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
Really need to rewatch more NuWho. Had forgotten how brilliant that story is. . #DoctorWho #TurnLeft
That's all for now. Hope you enjoyed it. Look forward to your feedback!

Tweetamentary
There. Finally come up with a word to describe a text commentary on Twitter. Was that so difficult? Apparantly so.
Planning on doing one last Tweetamentary tomorrow (touch wood) before I run headlong into my research for recording the new feature to be added to this blog: The Journal of Improbable Things - The Podcast.
The theme has been recorded. I say recorded. I actually mean I've taken the 2010 series theme and added a voice over to it. Nifty, huh? Doesn't sound too shabby, but I'll wait to hear your feedback once the first episode has gone out. Hoping to ask the opinions of trusted and learned podcast folks. Podshock will probably be hearing from me. DWO Whocast, The Oodcast, The Eleventh Hour, Chip of Two Minute Time Lord, TMDWP will probably be on there too. All sorts! Loads more probably. Just to see whether there is any interest in what I'll be doing.
Plus, if that's not enough, I'm writing a couple of articles to submit to fanzines. Really need to just bloody well finish one of them and then I can worry about content and editing rather than try to do it as I go.
Back to work now!

Podcasting
So, from a not knowing my way around Twitter to providing my own commentary track. It's two days later and I'm still having people tweet me, speak to me or mention of Facebook about what I put. I even had someone follow a hashtag, see my tweets and follow along even though they weren't one of my followers. This is awesome. I've spoken to folks internationally who do a similar thing and want to me to join their panel for next time. Thus I am considering a new idea.
What if I were to make a podcast attached to this blog? There's this blog and then The Journal of Improbable Things Podcast.
Wouldn't want it to be a news service, so many other podcasts do such an epic job of that. I'd want it to be commentary tracks or discussions and the like. Even had someone from Australia offer to join in and Skype their part of it in, so keen on the idea they were.
It seems I've really taken a shine to this being a fanboy thing!

The Sea Devils
Wow. Finished watching and tweeting over the story. I suspect I've used up my tweet limit for this hour with how much I said. I think it was to a degree successful. If I had planned it much earlier in advance and decided what and how I wanted to do things more than just a night ago it might have run smoother.
Some discussion was prompted though. Had a few people from around the world chipping in and I'm so greatful to them. Made it feel like I was doing it for/with someone, not just me boring people. Even though they weren't watching along, most were doing it from memory, using me to remind them of images and freshen the story in their heads. Was very exciting.
Looking forward to the next time! At some point hoping to transcribe my tweets so they're all in one place cos I don't know how long Twitter holds onto them for.
Excellent story. Highly recommended.

The Votes Have Been Counted And Verified...
... And I can now reveal that Davina McCall has bugger all to do with this.
The Twitter/Facebook voting has now closed and it was decided that with an extra vote for it after time was called that The Sea Devils won the vote with 5 votes to Resurrection's 3. Was a fairly close call. No idea what would have happened if there was a tie.
Commentary thing will start at 2pm (UK time) and we'll plow on and see how far we get. Hopefully something interesting should crop up. At worst it won't work and I won't do it again!
So, join me at 2pm for Doctor Who and The Pertwee at Sea.

Been A While
As the title suggests, I've not been on here in what I think quantifies as an age. I have however not entirely abandoned the world of blogging. I have just moved, against my better judgement, into the world of micro-blogging. Yes, despite all my protestations, I signed up to Twitter.
You know what's worse?
I'm still on it, and what's more actually like it!
Find me if you like @ www.twitter.com/rod_henderson.
If you like having your time wasted.
I have found however that I get lots of news from it and I'm meeting loads of great new theatre and Doctor Who type folks. In fact, I'm trying something new this afternoon.
Following on from last week, where SFX Magazine (www.twitter.com/sfxmagazine) did a live tweet commentary on the Channel 5 screening of Spiderman 2, I'll be doing one for a Doctor Who story. A live tweet text commentary on one of the following stories:
2nd Doctor - The Mind Robber
3rd Doctor - The Sea Devils
5th Doctor - Resurrection of The Daleks
10th Doctor - The End of Time
So far the votes are fairly suggestive, but it could go either way.
Should possibly think of some things to say so I don't just end up waffling about it...
See you this afternoon!
