@eddierobson.bsky.social you left your Targets in BFI. Would’ve kept hold of but obvs I live in Scotland. Richard ( @ stetsondoctor on Instagram) says he lives not too far from you so message him and he’ll sort out getting them to you :) would’ve DMed on Twitter but I know you don’t use anymore!

Oh yes, another book of mine is out now! ✨

Stay classy BBC 🙄 They couldn't make it plainer that demeaning trans women is official BBC policy

Not to be too immodest but I think I’ve already won at this Instagram Instants thing.

Reform Home Affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf advocates a future government would make decisions on locations of detention centres solely/primarily on political grounds.

The thing about this line is in itself it’s not that bad a bit of dialogue and it’s probably not exactly a matter of writer fault, but instead it is truly emblematic of the very way in which the handling of the Sequel Trilogy fell off a cliff as it abandoned the very premise of its predecessor.

@harryisquite.gay check your DMs lovely~ :)

For anyone wanting to get in to film/TV, I’ve put together a series of lunchtime talks from Wednesday to Sunday next week on directing, design, composing, producing & locations with fantastic guests. Free for under 25s. Do share! Part of From Page to Screen festival. @bridportarts.bsky.social

I have just had to read the latest iteration of PinkNews's 'journalism', an AI slop mash-up of several unrelated stories which doesn't make any sense. Turns out that journalism needs reporters after all! Here's a thread on just how terrible the piece is 👇

A jury has found that Live Nation and Ticketmaster held an illegal monopoly in the ticketing market. (www.nbcnews.com/business/con...)

Manchester Doctor Who Event Film is Fabulous! will screen three Doctor Who episodes at HOME Manchester on Saturday, 23rd May 2026. The event will offer fans the chance to see the first three episodes of “The Daleks’ Master Plan”, two of which were recently recovered.

30 years ago today, Principal Skinner purchased fast food to disguise as his own cooking at an unforgettable luncheon with Superintendent Chalmers. #TheSimpsons episode “22 Short Films About Springfield” first aired April 14, 1996.

But if you want a day out, you must instead go to France.

GB News repeatedly presented Reform UK and Conservative politicians and activists as being ordinary members of the public, without declaring their political affiliations. Byline Times investigation reveals pattern of behaviour by the Channel, but Ofcom still refuses to act

I’ve been contacted repeatedly today by legit voice actors who’ve had an email from someone claiming to be me about an “ongoing audiobook project”. THIS IS NOT ME. Feels like the next wave of AI scams, and it makes want to punch someone. I’m so sorry, actors. Not me.

Amazon reportedly failed to create any new jobs at its HQ2 in Virginia last year, despite millions of state tax incentives. The company has cut 30,000 jobs since last October — while saving $4 billion in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Trickle-down economics is a hoax.

Oh, yeah. ICYMI, the Kickstarter project got approved (instantly?). So... pre-launching this Friday, methinks. onegemini.com/the-worlds-b... Gonna try to figure out how to link it to my page in an easy to find way.

Still not over how wonderful yesterday was and how lucky I was to experience it!

Interesting how right wingers in America are falling “Project Hail Mary” an “anti woke” hit. When, aside from Ryan Gosling, not one single other line of dialogue is spoken by a white male character. True.

The 4K restoration of Doctor Who the TV Movie will be on at the BFI on Saturday 16th May at Noon! General sale April 10th. Members sale April 8th.

I might as well say this now, my S21 Blu-ray review in the next DWM is based on the VAM and the Warriors redux. I wasn't sent the other eps and, with my dodgy eyes, probably wouldn't have noticed any AI chicanery anyway. (Just in case any conspiracy theorists think we're SUPPRESSING THE TRUTH.)

It occurs to me that if the government did force UK writers to hand over their work to the big AI companies, that would now among other things mean contributing to the development of US advanced weapon systems.

Been a long weekend, but oh the BFI was such a treat! The Special Edition for Warriors was such a blast - THE MYRKA, THE LIGHTING, THE ADDITIONAL FIGHT INSERTS… did anyone else the VFX removal of paint from the walls?! Many thanks to @accordingtojond.bsky.social for sorting the ticket ✨

@joeleecoupe.bsky.social heya lovely, when you get a chance, can you DM me? Thank yeeee~

Ruin a film by changing one letter: Dicked

Baffled by transphobes insisting that the name on your birth certificate is Your True Name Forever when it was common in my grandparents' generation to just...pick a name you like and use that, nbd. I literally found out both of my grandma's birth certificate first names FROM THEIR OBITUARIES.

What's that you say, imaginary audience? You want to know all about my new #IrisWildthyme book Nobody's Sweetheart Now, published by the fine folks at @obversebooks.co.uk? Well, OK, odd request, but let me see if I have a ... aha! Here you go. dalesmithonline.com/nobodys-swee... #DoctorWho

DOCTOR WHO AND THE BIG SQUIDY THING

Welcome to the afterlife, Peter Duesberg, where you are about to have about 300,000 *very* uncomfortable conversations.

@harryisquite.gay DMed you about something lovely~ :)

good morning

Tom Baker returns to Baker Street? How wonderfully irregular! www.kickstarter.com/projects/152...

LLMs are not the future - who knew?

ALERT! Very exciting event coming up on 7th of March. Myself, @0hmyst4rs.bsky.social, & @manningofficial.bsky.social will be taking over the @vauxhalltavern.bsky.social to present an afternoon of chat and entertainment celebrating the women of #DoctorWho. With guests from across time and space! 1/2

I propose a Traitors For Introverts. It lasts one episode, no one gets voted out, and the winner is the one who can last longest around other people. The torture is the castle has no books.

Voyager is 31! "Much will be made of the political correctness of this new venture, not least in that the captain of this ship is a woman". A woman, captain of a ship 😱 Just a reminder that we've come a long way, and that the reactionary whiners of today are just the latest in a long line. 🖖

Comic-con deciding to allow GenAi imagery in the art show —giving valuable space to GenAi users to show slop right NEXT to actual artists who worked their asses off to be there— is a disgrace! A tone deaf decision that rewards and normalizes exploitative GenAi against artists in their own spaces!

Recursive occlusion. Someone's manipulating the North. We're caught in a space-time trap!

Obscure research question, but discovered that there were at least 57 Local Groups of DWAS in the 1980s/1990s; and a map of around 1992/3 of some of them. Does anyone know which locations/groups were which numbers? I know #57 was Salisbury’s SFOW, and that #20 was in Surrey.

I really do wish I could find this… it’s so pretty!

A set of jangling keys will return in "AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY"

Holy cow: TRUMP LEAKED THIS MORNING'S PAYROLL NUMBERS. At 8:20pm last night he posted a photo of a briefing he received from his CEA. It reveals market-moving numbers that were officially released at 8:30am this morning. (Note: CEA receives the data—confidentially—on Thursday evening.)
