The trailer and full details for the series B Collection of Blake's 7 @markayresrws.bsky.social @drmatthewsweet.bsky.social scifibulletin.com/2025/08/08/a...

🔥 NUJ backs call for AI ethics guidelines... ...as fears grow over job cuts, plagiarism, and newsroom pressure driven by artificial intelligence.

The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying £7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a ‘moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.

COMING SOON: Doctor Who: The Collection – Season 13 BBC Studios have today announced the next release in the hugely popular Doctor Who: The Collection range will be...Season 13 In his second season, Tom Baker’s Doctor really hits his stride, with faithful companion Sarah-Jane Smith (Elisabeth…

Thrilled to reveal the cover for #DoctorWho The Collection Season 13! We're back again, giving our beloved show the love it deserves! (10 points to the first person who spots what the background to this one is).

The last post from our local @royalmail.bsky.social post box is at... 9am. Ridiculous.

With Doctor Who legends Dick Mills and Mark @markayresrws.bsky.social Ayres. Together with our respective better halves, our annual (or thereabouts) Doctor Who alumni meal was a joy from start to finish.

I’m on my way to the @ivorsacademy.bsky.social Ivor Novello Awards in London, genuinely the biggest song contest in the world. Guess which earworm has been stuck in my head all morning? Dugga Doo from Doctor Who that’s what. Thanks, Murray. ;)

Reminder that the UK’s House of Lords has twice proposed legislation that would make AI companies disclose their training data, and the Labour government has twice rejected it. Can't think why www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"a landmark moment in sci-fi fantasy history, but as we've never seen it before" – Radio Times "STUNNING" ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Daily Mail "a TREAT for discerning Whovians" – TV Choice ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Heat "a hidden GEM" – The Times "absolutely INCREDIBLE… an impressive reworking of a #DoctorWho classic" – Screen Rant

Word of the day is ‘bugiard’ (17th century): one who distorts the truth beyond all recognition to fit their own agenda.

Brilliant speech. But... 😥

Just when you think the BBC might learn to avoid own goals, they put the ball straight back in the net.

Great, troubling scoop. The point of a public service broadcaster is that it’s NOT personalised, IMV.

Ooh…

The UK leads the world in both the creative and tech industries, but innovation must not come at the expense of those whose work powers AI models. Licensing creative content for AI is a huge economic opportunity, yet weakening copyright would undermine creators and stall growth.

Today is the last chance to have your say in the government's consultation on copyright and AI: a decision that could reshape the rights of UK songwriters, composers and creative professionals. Submit your response now. 🔗 Our guide with suggested responses👇 ivorsacademy.com/wp-content/u...

The UK’s world-leading copyright laws are under threat. That’s why The Ivors Academy stands with the Creative Rights in AI Coalition and the Make It Fair campaign, calling for transparency and fair compensation for creators.

I’m one of 1,000+ artists who are jointly releasing this album today to protest the UK government’s planned changes to copyright law, which would hand the life’s work of the UK's musicians to #AI companies for free. Don’t legalise music theft! #IsThisWhatWeWant? isthiswhatwewant.com

Superb, and timely...

Well.

🔥 This is an absolutely devastating set of figures on the UK public's view of Brexit. Absolutely damning. Look at each category one by one - particularly the economic ones. YouGov article on these data here. 👉 yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

OpenAI right now

Oh no, the Chinese plagiarism machine might have plagiarized the American plagiarism machine search.app/gLKPBELL2weQ...

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

hey friends, welcome to our new safe space 💙

Thankyou to The Stage for printing my letter about the erasure of Sylvia Anderson from her own work..

Good primer here: www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

So, to recap: the suggestion is: the UK creative industries grant open access to all their historic and future work and IP, without payment, to the brains behind a nascent industry that just tanked $1tn in a couple of hours. Sure. Seems great.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Dear God…
