Today

So I was just on the Today programme on Radio 4 talking very briefly about Doctor Who. Catch me if you can, 8.23ish, here.

ETA: I'm reliably told it's on at 2hr 26mins and 30 secs.

ETA2: Now has its own link. Thanks [livejournal.com profile] parrot_knight!

Hurrah!

Yes, I heard you as I was lying in bed not wanting to get up. I wondered as the item was being introduced and I was chuffed when it turned out they had got you on!

Well done.

How exciting! At 2 hours 23 minutes into the programme I've got an actor talking about "Zero Dark 30", so I'm hoping that you will pop up immediately afterwards.

Wow! Congrats, that was a nice little item. I listen to Today every morning but our clock radio turns off automatically just before that came on. You were far more interesting than Peter Mandelson!

I heard you! Radio 4 is my usual morning background noise and then they started talking about Doctor Who and I perked up and paid attention. I almost squeed out loud when they said you were going to be on and then there you were! Did one of the interviewers actually mention "fan fiction" and then not get back to it or let anyone else comment on it?

Ooooh, you are speaking out of my computer speakers at me. It is just like The Way Back.

There should have been more of you and less of those blokes though.

Very good, my dear, very good.

With all due deference to your good self, what impressed me most was that a flagship national news programme could refer to fan fiction - fan literature no less - without any trace of amazement, bafflement or ridicule. The times they have a-changed somewhat. I blame the internets.
