About Timelash.com

  • What is Timelash.com?
    Timelash.com is (or at least intended to be!) a home for original & interesting Doctor Who-related content.

  • Why "timelash"?
    Doctor Who fans will know that Timelash is the name of a 1985 episode, part of Colin Baker's first season as the Sixth Doctor. In the story, the "timelash" is a time tunnel used by the evil ruler of the planet Karfel to dispose of his enemies.

    The story is widely regarded as a bit of a clunker by Who fans, but I confess to a certain soft spot for it. Any story that features an overacting Paul Darrow (Avon from Blake's 7), a blue-skinned blonde android, and a half-man half-lizard mad scientist, can't be all bad!

    Anyway, it ticked the boxes for being a good domain name (short, memorable, easy to spell, not trademarked). And, as some sort of cosmic portent, the final episode originally aired on my birthday (though I wasn't watching it at the time -- we couldn't pick up the BBC where I grew up in the West of Ireland).
