There's also some serious discussion about Dan's professional influences, mentors, and coping with anxiety, illness and loss.</p> <p>You can catch Dan on Twitter at <a href="https://twitter.com/TheTestDoctor" target="_blank">@TheTestDoctor</a>!</p> <p><strong>Dan's Links:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="http://screentesting.libsyn.com/" target="_blank">Screen Testing podcast</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfjL9uX2leg" target="_blank">YouTube: On Her Majesty's Secret Service opening theme (John Barry)</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_music_featured_on_Doctor_Who" target="_blank">Wikipedia: List of music featured on Doctor Who</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1393020/" target="_blank">IMDB: Sex &amp; Drugs &amp; Rock &amp; Roll (Ian Dury movie)</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.chf.org.uk/" target="_blank">Chailey Heritage Foundation</a></li> <li><a href="https://spin.atomicobject.com/2013/06/27/broken-comb-people/" target="_blank">Brittany Hunter: Of Software Designers &amp; Broken Combs</a></li> <li><a href="http://thesocialtester.co.uk/t-shaped-testers-and-their-role-in-a-team/" target="_blank">Rob Lambert: T-Shaped Testers and their role in a team</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ministryoftesting.com/dojo/lessons/context-driven-security-bill-matthews" target="_blank">TestBash Brighton 2013: Bill Matthews - Context Driven Security</a></li> <li><a href="https://thetestdoctor.co.uk/2016/10/11/introducing-ticket-magpie/" target="_blank">Dan Billing: Introducing...
