Here's a little #podcast series I did on the much loved but terrifying Usborne World of the Unknown #books covering all three volumes - ghosts, monsters and UFOs hypnogoria.com/h_unk...

I’m strolling the side streets of Piccadilly on an October evening, and this is all Count Dracula wanted for himself really.

On Sunday 12 October Nunkie Autumn 2025 season gets underway with "Casting the Runes" at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury. One of the bigger venues I visit and there are seats left to fill. They are available here: www.theatresevern.co.uk/shows/whatso...

The War Master is back, and he’s about to perform his greatest trick.

Good morning, gang. ☕️

In the first of a new chain of hotels, Richard takes care of the most valuable guests, Brendan watches his pounds on the banana diet, and Steven finds his mattress stuffed with straw in his Room Without a View. #TheAvengers #Podcast #Commentary open.spotify.com/episode/0dvK...

#OTD last year I was in Nessie heaven at the Loch Ness Centre with fellow Big Finish scribes Andrew Smith, Alfie Shaw & Lisa McMullin. We’d watched Terror of the Zygons the night before so it was nice to escape #DoctorWho for a bit… only to have David Tennant as our audio guide. #WhoElse 🦕

Honestly, this is what a time machine should look like.

THE QUATERMASS EVENT takes over QUAD in Derby on Saturday 6 December 2025 from 12pm. All three Hammer films plus full supporting programme and guests. Booking and details available at derbyquad.co.uk

I just want submarine cars, space battles, dirty puns, and double-taking pigeons. It's that simple.

Right. Write. Right… … any minute now. #AmWriting #Soonish

I hope to avoid ever playing a deadly game of cat and mouse.

It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem.

HYPNOGORIA 289 - Nightmares of Nosferatu Part XII In this chapter we uncover how historical accounts of vampires and ancient folklore gave us a reimagined and reanimated Orlok in the new Nosferatu hypnogoria.libsyn.co... #nosferatu #vampires #podcast #horror

Ideas are ten a penny. Execution is king.

Congratulations to @mrrobvalentine.bsky.social, @barnabyedwards.bsky.social and everyone involved in the production of Doctor Who: The Stuff of Legend - The Live Show. bgfn.sh/tsollive

This is lovely to wake up to, and a great bunch of audio drama to wrap your ears around. #TheSpeakies

A reminder that tickets are now available for all my Halloween and Christmas shows at London's Dickens Museum! Choose from THE SIGNAL-MAN & THE TRIAL FOR MURDER, THE HAUNTED MAN and the immortal CHRISTMAS CAROL before they sell out: dickensmuseum.com/blogs/all-ev...

We’re reaching that time of year where I sort of just want to quit and play Broken Sword until Christmas.

I have the Ulysses 31 theme tune stuck in my head AND THIS IS A GREAT THING.

Funny that multiple Rejoin the EU marches were ten times the size and yet not a single person was injured and London wasn’t turned into a bottle and can recycling bin.

On this day last year, @bigfinish.bsky.social’s spectacular anniversary live show #DoctorWho: The Stuff of Legend premiered at @cadoganhall.bsky.social before an absolutely legendary audience. Happy daze!✨

The speed at which they moved to “whomst amongst us…” has been, frankly, hilarious

You don’t meet many Bertrams, do you?

Working on this series has been JOY.

Joe and I close the lid on Episode 4 of PYRAMIDS OF MARS and all its Egyptological influences. Tut-Tut! #TheMummy #HamsterHorror 🐹

The last, great episode of this story? Should Sarah be able to fire a gun? Did Tom need to dress up as a Mummy? Is this one of the best cliffhangers ever? @mrrobvalentine.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

You know what, fair play to Scooby Doo villains. They walk into a room dressed as a ghost, see a talking dog on its hind legs making the world’s biggest sandwich and somehow manage to stay in character.

I’m 45 years old yet the Pavlovian back-to-school dread is still strong.

An ‘ultracrepidarian’ (19th century) is one who loves to give their opinion, at length, on matters they know nothing about.

And then the murders started...and never stopped. Bernard Archard returns as the animated human cadaver, Ernie Clements is crushed to death by tits and Warlock is throttled at the behest of his oldest friend... @mrrobvalentine.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

Listening to hamster with @mrrobvalentine.bsky.social and @docoho44.bsky.social talking about Pyramids of Mars and hoping that The Season 13 box set has an overdub of Sutekh saying “Suck it Bitch!” #wecanonlyhope

Me, at every new casting announcement for the wizard tv show terf fund

It's suddenly September again, and with spooky season just around the corner, the intrepid Joe Ford and I are donning our pith helmets and excavating DOCTOR WHO: PYRAMIDS OF MARS on Hamster With a Blunt Penknife. #MummyTits 🐹

Good morning, you lot. ☕️ 🐇 🐇 🐇

Tomorrow the lovely @docoho44.bsky.social and I are opening the sarcophagus on a little-known and in no way consequential Doctor Who story called Pyramids of Mars. ✨ 🐹

If it does happen, i suggest everyone blames RFK jr.

BBC News seem suicidally bent on ignoring political parties with many more MPs, more rational policies and more supporters than Reform. Suicidal because one of the first things Reform would do should they ever get near real power is defund and throttle the BBC, founded to be impartial and unbiased.

Watched Island of Lost Souls for the very first time tonight. Brilliant film, and a genuinely disturbing Pre-Code horror. Charles Laughton is phenomenal as Dr Moreau, and Erle C. Kenton’s direction is top-notch.

It's here! The 1000th episode of the glorious, gorgeous, slightly naughty but extremely nice Doctor Who commentary podcast Hamster With A Blunt Penknife from that wonderful man who absolutely hates compliments, Mr Joe Ford. Bravo, Joe! 🐹

Just over a week to go until the opening of ‘Brave New Worlds: A Century of Science Fiction Cinema’, a fabulous new exhibition of paintings by the implausibly talented @barnabyedwards.bsky.social. It’s at Exeter Picturehouse from 1st September - 2nd November. Do come along!

I’m actually a bit disappointed that Karen Gillan isn’t playing THE Highlander.

Loved listening to @docoho44.bsky.social and @mrrobvalentine.bsky.social discussing Pyramids of Mars. Not heard it? Well, join the Hamster Patreon and be a part of the ham fam! Lovely, lovely people!
