Could you elaborate here? Because I would read BO as body odour 
It must mean something else right?

Ahh yes, the notorius rumours that floated in fandom around Adric’s body odour until Gary Russell made it canon! It feels great to be a fan knowing that Adric officially has a body odour now. This will surely make him a much better companion the next time I watch him.
(Unless, of course, his body odour is the stench of a decomposing body, because, you know…).

Is the diesel I just put in my car yesterday made of Adric? 
Is that why it smells funny…

I’ve started reading Ruby Red, which is much more engaging than I expected.
I’ve also made a start on Fifteen Doctors, 15 Stories. Yeah, A Big Hand for the Doctor wasn’t very good, but I’m now onto The Nameless City, which is very good.

I really liked that one. Doctor Who - Ruby Red by Georgia Cook

I found Ruby Red perfectly acceptable, but nothing special.
Wholeheartedly agree. A Big Hand is weird, and not in a good way.
I’ve started reading The Pit, which is also a bit weird.

I thought Ruby Red was fun - nothing groundbreaking but a good listen on the audiobook

I’ve also got a copy of Ruby Red that I plan to start soon.

Nope, the first Tegan POV chapter has a full paragraph on Adric and it’s basically like 'this mf wears pyjamas and never wears deodorant and he stinks"
it’s hilarious. literally every description of Adric is infused with contempt.

@Daximili will be…
unhappy about this.

Yup. Adric’s BO is, canonically, so bad that not even the TARDIS bio-filtering system can get rid of it. That’s not me fanwanking, that’s explicit in the text.
Anyway Divided Loyalties is great, Gary Russell has done the impossible task and made me respect The Toymaker as a villain.

I knew my suggestion that Adric smells like a decomposing body wasn’t too far off!

The reason Adric looks so uncomfortable here is because his arms are up high and he can smell his own armpits

I suppose it may be a inevitable characterization, seeing as Adric is the teen boy companion…

Started Timewyrm: Revelation tonight. Also have Ruby Red that I’ve got to start. Plus a nice stack of comics.

What? I get no badge for completing the “Captain Britain Crossovers” set 
That is so, so, so very tangentially related to Doctor Who as anything could be I think it basically boils down to the figure of Merlin in the first Captain Britain story here shows a range of different faces, one of which is the one from the Fourth Doctor comic “The Neutron Knights”.
It’s actually more related to Doctor Who by the fact that “Abslom Daak: Dalek Killer” was in the standalone Captain Britain comics from the early 80s 
(I’d still like a badge though 
)

Hang on, there’s more to this Captain Britain rabbit hole?
Apparently some of these characters are Gallifreyan, which was told in a short comic in DWM 57?
And three more stories with Captain Britain as part of the Excalibur team? (In a separate set)
I need a timeline “playlist” of all of this on this site proto

Even more Captain Britain stuff found on the wiki.
The comic series “Captain Britain and MI13” from 2008-2009 written by Paul Cornell who it looks like was leaning heavily into the earlier Captain Britain/Doctor Who crossover stuff
Über-niche and tangential content FTW

I think that you need to write the guide “Doctor Who in the Marvel Universe” for this site. Then I can just read that and get the badge by following it.
That is how I made @shauny to make badges for TLV and DD.
