I've just been interviewed by those talented podcast guys at I, Fanboy, about Captain Britain, FF: True Story and just about everything else:

And courtesy of Steve Berry, here's a wonderful use for those tag clouds of prose that have been doing the rounds.  Here's a swarm of them made from the subtitle dialogue of every new Doctor Who story.  The more the word is used in the story, the bigger it appears in the diagram.  Some interesting things leap out:

Until next time, Cheerio.

The Wordles are stupidly addictive. I keep wanting to make more, when I should eb working on, erm... actual work.

Verrry interesting. An awful lot of Who fans have Wordled their fics, but that's the first time I've seen actual Who being put through Wordle. As you say, interesting results, particularly how many times the word "Doctor" is said in different episodes.

Those word clouds are pretty darn cool. Thanks for the link!

And thanks for the one to the podcast as well. I enjoyed it, especially the story about Romance and X-men comics. Cheers!
