Time to look back at 2025 one more time. My annual Doctor Who In Memoriam is on You Tube now. Please watch, like and circulate. Oh, and please just be nice about it and Doctor Who as there are plenty of other places you can be otherwise. youtu.be/mfNDgewmlEU?...

Please listen to Absent Friends on BBC Radio 4 Extra today. Part One is 4.45pm (repeated at 0045) and Part Two is the same time tomorrow. It’s my acknowledgment of various folk from UK sci-fi, horror and fantasy who died this year. 4 Extra doesn’t do many home made productions, so do tune in!

Car trip North earlier and the conclusion to the epic Missing Episodes trilogy. How wonderful that speculation can be so erudite and fun. It’s a delightful game that will never tire.👏🏿 Plus the episode background information is brilliant.👍🏿 Agree or not, it’s entertaining. Give it a whirl. ❤️❤️➕🟦 🚙📻

Back in May of this year, @tobyhadoke.bsky.social launched his ‘Quatermass Experiment’ book with a great interview by Abby Cook from Blue Peter. What a beautiful book and you can see how much work has gone into writing it. Thanks Toby I can see how much love you have for the TV series.

The Quatermass Experiment: The Making of TV's First Sci-Fi classic is @tobyhadoke.bsky.social's definitive work on the groundbreaking lost BBC serial, drawing on 30 years of research, with revealing interviews and never-before-seen photos.

A lot of people have expressed surprise at some of the info in today’s advent calendar. It’s all covered in my podcast about the making of Doctor Who’s pilot episode: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

It’s fair to say life would’ve been a bit different had I not accepted a friend’s invitation to try a bit of stand up at a gig 30 years ago tonight. I was dabbling: never considered for a moment I’d turn pro or earn a living from it (let alone play the Store, Edinburgh, the West End). Sliding doors!

Two episodes for my Absent Friends obituary show this year. So grateful that the station continue to allow me to do this. 27th and 28th December: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Happy Doctor Who. The third part of my missing episodes podcast will drop at midday. There’s a lot of it :) AND it’s got Russell T Davies’ choices.

100 stories covered in Happy Times and Places. This special episode is an extended version of March’s anniversary release. Russell T Davies, Mark Gatiss, Rob Shearman, Chris Boyle, Tom Burgess, Johnny Candon & Jon Dear choose their favourite things about Rose. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

The first episode is out now! With the wonderful guests @tobyhadoke.bsky.social @katemccabe.bsky.social and #katiemitchell tinyurl.com/2bhhh29s

It’s been a very good year for celebrations of Nigel Kneale, and @tobyhadoke.bsky.social, @mrgeetsromo.bsky.social, @accordingtojond.bsky.social and I are topping it off with a day of Quatermass at Derby QUAD on 6 December! 🎟️: www.derbyquad.co.uk/events/thequ...

I’m hoping to go to Birmingham on Sunday : a treat for fans of Doctor Who and ghosts. A screening of A View From A Hill and a bonus chat between Jon Dear and writer Peter Harness (Kill The Moon, Constellation, The Zygon Invasion/Inversion etc). 2.30pm! macbirmingham.co.uk/cinema/a-bir...

Part Two of my missing episodes podcast that is frankly getting out of hand (there will be a Part Three : we only just break the Top 30 here!). Mark Gatiss, Tom Burgess & Andrew Smith choose their favourites along the way… podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

A brilliant ending to this six part classic...or a damp squib? And will @tobyhadoke.bsky.social have the audacity to rewrite what is on TV to suit his reading of the story? podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

I’m HOPING to go to this but if I can’t I’d certainly like to: it’s going to be excellent. Jon’s great, Peter’s great and there’s lots of spooky old telly to watch too. What’s not to love?

Omg Indefinable Magic is a must-listen for me every time one drops, really well done pieces about Doctor Who, but like, all dead like thoughtful and that yeh? Give it a listen

Huge fun here from the always splendid Toby Hadoke, who invited a whole load of us to nominate the 17 missing Doctor Who episodes we’d most like to see recovered. Whittling it down from 97 was agony, but I hope you’ll approve of my choices… and David Tennant’s, and many more besides. Get clicking!
