Thanks. I’ll take a look. I’ve wanted to move away from gmail for a while now and this is cheap enough to try out.

What's PurelyMail like? They seem very cheap.

Thank you. I'll take a look. Your suggestion has also led to the Obsidian/Memos plug in which might also be a good link.

I just wish the devs would simply as a means of exporting/importing a JSON file or something. It would then open up the app to a much wider audience as it's really good.

The Beast You Are by Paul Tremblay. Short stories.

Let me know if you find it.

When I mentioned this on Discord to the devs, they didn't seem to find the idea of SSH-ing into wherever Memos is served much of an issue. I ran it in a Docker container on a Synology NAS and lack the skill (or confidence) of poking around too much in parts of the NAS that aren't readily accessible.

I’d love to use memos (and have tried using it) but the backup/export is virtually non-existent.

This looks great. I’ll have a go and let you know how it goes.

Is that the one where he's having a sword fight with the Master and eats and drinks during the fight - just to prove what a fabulous swordsman he is?

It's interesting that you come away with the impression of the Third Doctor being humourless, bearing in mind that Pertwee was a fantastic comedic actor (and, I believe, when he was announced as the Third Doctor, some fans were concerned he would turn the show into a comedy).

Three is very much in that late 60s/early 70s famboyant gentleman detective that was popular at the time (Adam Adamant/Jason King/John Steed etc) and Pertwee was keen to lean in on the super-spy aspects as well. Just keep an eye on the twinkle in his eye that suggests Pertwee's not taking it too seriously and enjoying all the romp. Also, I don't think we'd get a Master without this doctor (the Master is more or less a Fu Manchu analogue to the Third's Nayland Smith).

Not being able to use the TARDIS until Season 10 IS a definite issue and my enjoyment of his adventures pick up after that. Personally, I don't think that Liz Shaw is a good companion for him (too intelligent) and he's better suited by Jo Grant - although Sarah-Jane Smith is best-suited to counter his arrogance.

I'd say that my favourites are similar to you: Inferno, The Time Warrior, The Green Death, The Claws of Axos and the Daemons.

Also, I'm fond of Planet of the Spiders (it's actually pretty awful) as it's my earliest memory of watching Doctor Who as a small child. Look out, Doctor! There's a huge spider on your back! He's been killed! He's changing! He's someone else!

Thank you. That was my impression. The old monthly range used to have the occasional dull adventure but usually was pretty enjoyable. It also felt like the old tv series. (Have to admit that I first started listening to Big Finish well before the reboot!)

Thanks. I’ll check out the Third Doctor adventures.

Thanks. I think the KFX one is what I use. I use a Kindle but always remove the DRM from my purchases.
