Many Trailers
I went to town briefly last week, so of course, was ill for days afterwards, but am now back to usual level of general rubbishness anyway.
Here are some random TV/film things:
1. Outrageous, which I enjoyed very much in the summer on Drama, is now on the iPlayer, if you're in the UK and missed it. (Drama series about the Mitfords).
2. They did another minisode for the S21 trailer for Doctor Who - this time Five and Tegan together again, which was great. It's here.
3. I hadn't had any idea someone was doing a whole film of The Faraway Tree series till YT randomly threw this trailer my way the other day. I never expected that, and it looks like fun anyway.
4. Been enjoying watching Cooper & Fry on Ch5, which I watched mainly because it had DW's Mandip Gill in the lead, along with Downton's Rob James-Collier, and who doesn't always need yet more detectives in their lives? Anyway, it's been good so far - a bit more moodier than a cosy but nothing too grim, and I like the local folklore aspect that crops up (even if it's never real). Here's a trailer.
(I have been watching Ch5's The Forsytes, which is largely very pretty and easy and not much more, but I haven't watched the last 2 or 3 eps, because I went out and also I watched Cooper & Fry instead, because it was more interesting, lol).
Probably, as ever, also other things I am forgetting!

Fancake Theme for December: Amnesty

This theme runs for the entire month. If you have any questions, just ask!
Dec. 1st, 2025 06:32 pm
December Theme + Request Post
Recs of any sort may be posted at any time, but in addition we have monthly themes.
tardis_library's theme for November is now closed, and here is our new theme for December:
Sixth Doctor // Endings
"Eternal blackness. No more sunsets. No more gumblejacks. Never more a butterfly."
It's Six's turn in the spotlight! Time to rec any works featuring him or anyone and anything from that era. Or you can rec something that fits in with the theme of Endings, however you want to interpret that. Or, as ever, both!
Post your recs to the community in the normal way any time from now until midnight on 31st December 2025 in your timezone. (See Info & Guidelines for posting template and instructions). Recs posted for monthly themes have their own tag with banners at the end of the year for reccers who posted a rec for 6 or more of each year's themes.
When making your post, add the tag "other: monthly theme". (The mods can take care of any other needed tags if you prefer, but a challenge/theme tag could easily be missed.)
Request List
Anyone may also request any specific recs they'd like to see. (e.g. "Fourth Doctor fic, not on Teaspoon," "Cheerful Bill Potts artwork," "Leela vid," "recent Ten/Rose," etc.) If you are only interested in one medium (fic/vid/art etc/), don't forget to specify.
Current requests:
* Classic Who fanvids, any Doctor/TARDIS team (music, no/minimal audio quotes preferred), especially out there on tumblr/YT -
thisbluespirit
* Twelfth Doctor h/c that's not on AO3 (any pairing or gen) -
ruuger
* Rose/Nine fic, any genre, anywhere - anon
* Jack/Esther fic (Torchwood) -
chamilet
* Babyfic and/or de-age fic, any era/any team -
romanajo123
* Fanworks in more unusual media (not Art, Fic, or Vids) -
lurking_latinist
* Gen fic featuring the Doctor's scarf any era -
liadt
* fic set after Planet of Giants that focus on the events of that story -
scifirenegade
Make your requests in the comments here to be added to the list. (Anon commenting is on.) If you make a rec that fills any of these requests, please add the "other: request" tag to your entry so it can be found easily.)
Any other questions? Ask here or at the Info & Guidelines post, or PM the mod.

Fly by rec
My wrangling got slightly derailed this morning, because I was scrolling down my bins and then suddenly a WILD TAG IN ENIGMA 2001!
And it wasn't me misreading, it wasn't some giant multi-fandom essay, or somehow ASOIAF, Harry Potter, Sherlock or Star Wars, it was real and pretty much perfect. Not particularly spoilery (the only thing this reveals is also evident pretty soon into the film):
de la lune (273 words) by misura
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Enigma (2001)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Claire Romilly, Wigram (Enigma 2001)
Additional Tags: Pre-Canon
Summary: "I've always wanted to be a Claire." (pre-canon)
I got too flaily to wrangle.
