Pick of the penguin

Hooray! For the third time ever, I am in the letters page of Dr Who's Magazine.
"ANIMAL CRACKERS
Doctor Who has had pig people, cat people, rhinoceros people, butterfly people, bird people (and, ahem, badger people) but I think we should get some octopus people. Octopuses have three hearts, blue blood and can regenerate their limbs. So they are probably related to Time Lords anyway.

    Cool.

    BTW, my local ABC shop has nearly sold out of that novel you wrote about Space Badgers.

    Only one copy left on the shelves.

    I saw Carole Ann Ford do a DW lecture in Paisley once (the Tennant may also have been in the audience I believe) and she opened by reading a description of an octopus without telling the audience what she was talking about and making us think she was describing a Gallifreyan.

    Damn Susan. She must have read my letter and then gone back in time.
