Seems quite fitting listening to the second volume of @bigfinish.bsky.social V series whilst travelling between Germany & Poland on a Holocaust / WW2 tour. Great stuff from @eddierobson.bsky.social et al under the watchful eye of @jonnymorris.bsky.social When's volume 3 coming? 😀

Not sure starting an email with these words works when cropped by an app! @libdems.org.uk

We need Sagan every day. And some days more than most. youtu.be/wupToqz1e2g?...

I'm guessing using a washing machine for cooking might be possible for a very watery soup or cleaning salad, but wouldn't want to try a baked potato or a Sunday Roast.

1) Deport individuals who've been here the years & set high income requirements for others. 2) See exodus of workers in care & health sectors. 3) Claim NHS is now a total failure. 4) Move to insurance based system. 5) Make millions from US contracts at the cost of UK citizens' well-being.

Do I spy the shadow of a giant Dalek head hiding in the courtyard?

Things I had never searched the Internet for prior to yesterday: internal door latches and hinges. Things I have spent most time searching the Internet for yesterday: internal door latches and hinges. Things I never want to search the Internet for ever again: internal door latches and hinges.

One for #DoctorWho fans. Batley town centre is being revamped and apparently will be paying homage to the David Tennant story "Army of Ghosts".

BBC News captures Doctor Who himself Sylvester McCoy at the Trump protest seemingly unaware of who they're interviewing.

The bluray of season 1 is an absolute thing of beauty. I can't wait to see how good 4k Breakaway will look. gerryanderson.com/products/spa...

We got our own version of 'Thursday Murder Club' on NITFLIX, but it called 'THE MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY MURDER CLUB'. It about a bunch of elderly Ogrons living in a retirement home. But it less about SOLVING murders and more about PLANNING them!😁

Farage: I'll stop all immigrants, including children. Next day: I'll exclude children from the stop all immigrants statement. Farage: I'll stop all the small boats within 2 weeks of winning the election. Next day: I'll stop all the small boats after 2 weeks of passing a law. #Don'tVoteReform

Looks like Marsden has gone the way of Sheffield in Threads @reecedinsdale.bsky.social

Waiting for The Roses to start, I thought "seems rather soon to do a remake of War of the Roses". It was 1989... 36 years ago. There were only 26 years between Universal's Frankenstein & Hammer's Curse of Frankenstein. Or from another perspective, I was still at University and now I've retired.

I almost fell out of love with Doctor Who after season 17. Season 18 under an energetic JNT and a focused script editor in Christopher H Bidmead brought it back for me. I loved Bidmead's vision and his stories. Logopolis remains in my top 10 of all time. Farewell.

The deluxe editions coming out of Hammer - Captain Kronos, Quatermass, and now Curse of Frankenstein are really some of the best sets of anything out there. 🥰

Kirk wandering round the Enterprise like he’s measuring for curtains.

Scrolling through Reels and up pops a very serious looking man of around my age. He raises his hand and wiggles a finger and says "there's NOTHING worse than tight socks". Hmmm, I suspect there might just be.

Unexpected graffiti as I strip the hall way back to the plaster. It is *probably punk culture embracing the "shock" use of a swastika rather than a genuine Nazi thing. It did shock me... it was the first part I saw! Then again I wonder if there was a builder called Nigel in Meltham c92?

As a Carl Sagan fan since watching Cosmos as a kid, imagine my 56 year old joy with these totally unexpected events: 24/06: watch Elio 25/06: redundancy/retirement gift from a dear friend of framed Pale Blue Dot 28/08: watch Life of Chuck 🥰😍 @sagan.bsky.social @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

Turned out nice again!

Apparently, Hull City haven't gone undefeated in the first 3 league games since 1993-94 Say hello to Blackburn Rovers... @anboa4.bsky.social

Unless the War is never to end throughout the rest of infinity, of course the end is closer than ever. Just as with each breath we are all closer to death than ever. Trump is probably responsible for one of these truisms being reached faster than expected. I'll let you bet on which one.

Well I'm guessing you'd not want one that's broken.

The more I watch Trump, the more I question... a) does he actually believe the bollox he speaks b) does he know its bollox and he's having a laugh c) do Americans actually believe him, and if so, why?! d) as he clearly doesn't understand racism and misogyny, what's his ultimate aim?

Is this the most awesome #DoctorWho self designed t-shirt ever?

Looks like Danielle on Pointless Celebs is cosplaying as Mawdryn

Seems a decent price for a new railway station. And as a friend commented, seems HS2 have been ripped off.

Astonishingly, my local neighbourhood group hasn't had any response asking the lines of "unfortunately newborns tend not to be that dextrous to handle the intricacies of high end photographic equipment "

Out and about by The Water of Leith. For the first time ever, I also spotted one of the mythical birds I've been seeking all my life; rarer tha phoenix, seemingly as visible as a dodo, I finally saw a kingfisher! (Sadly it was moving too fast to be photoed.)

EDinFringe25 event #5 @robinince.bsky.social great show, including a Doctor Who theme-a-long. I had an advantage as did a version at Uni in 89 with a future Member of House of Lords. @markpackuk.bsky.social And Robin, on the sense of safety: I still pop on a Pertwee when I feel at a low ebb 😍

Only in NYC you have a pedicab driving down the street with tourists blasting Billy Joel’s music and Billy Joel pulls up next to them

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it?

Any relation @gruntleigh.bsky.social ?

Any guesses as to why I'm watching a random episode of a TV series from May 2009?

Has @gruntleigh.bsky.social been thrown into a cell again after the numerous diplomatic incidents? Or has Uggo eaten his tablet? Missing the big lump!

1/2 A pitch for the CBeebies Doctor Who series, developed with my sons (6 and 2) Dr 6 and Private Eye shapeshifter, Frobisher, investigate toddler-friendly mysteries - e.g. where has the rainbow gone? Why is everyone upside down? Problems usually caused by the Master or the Rani's experiments...

I just backed Valiant Comics - HARBINGER CLASSIC - Hardcover Omnibus on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/ali...

Wow. Just when I thought this article had picked the whole thing apart - the embezzlement, the "win our house" grift, the property in France - it started on the medical history.
