Last night I had the first spider of the year. Looked like the one on the left…*felt* like the one on the right 🕷️

Sensible cheese sizes on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social this morning

Must be really harsh weather out there

Another Andre the Giant fact I had no idea about

"Your own. Personal. Negus. Someone who rates your chairs, Someone who cares"

Big tidy and re-discovered the National Science and Media Museum label for my model TARDIS from when they had their #DoctorWho 50th anniversary exhibition

Friday

Just what you always wanted! A Sapphire and Steel documentary. youtu.be/yNQi4rag0c4?...

Had an electrical inspection today, which meant moving a lot of furniture to get to plug sockets. You realise how small your flat actually is when everything’s in disarray 😶

The BBC's "V for Victory" tuning signal, developed during the last world war and still in use on shortwave when we recorded it in the 1960s. Auditory hauntology.

Hey space fans. 6pm UK on Netflix and YouTube

The great Vivian Stanshall, born on this day in 1943. Canyons Of Your Mind was absolute peak Bonzos. Frying pan, frying pan.

The Rediffusion 1968 version of ‘Entertaining Mr Sloane’ has now also been posted up to YouTube #JoeOrton youtu.be/pF3DpQJ-5vo

Best post of the day (thanks to @scribblerrob.bsky.social for quoting)

BBC2 are screening Peter Sellers’ best film tomorrow night www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

I see that @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social is screening the #HarlanEllison scripted 1973 Canadian sci-fi ‘The Starlost’ at 3.30am. Never seen this, but am intrigued given the writing credentials en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sta...

Oh, the 1973 Yorkshire TV production of Joe Orton’s first play is on YouTube #JoeOrton youtu.be/jnYhSWu32vA

Well done Spring. Keep it up

Gorgeous moon out tonight

Just had a chocolate hot cross bun

Just listened to this fascinating documentary about imaginative radio www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m... Now want to hear ‘Heartsong’ and ‘Setting Sail’ in full

Fellow Alan Garner fans... have a wander down to the Dorman Museum in Middlesbrough sometime, they have a plate from the actual Owl Service, donated by the Garner family in 2017. I went yesterday and it still gives me a little frisson.

Come on Spring, you can do it!

Today’s certainly a school day…

You can tell it’s nearly Easter, as Dracula’s daffodils blossomed suddenly overnight #vampireplants

Finally, a copy of the Adam Adamant theme (among other luscious tracks)

Lovely article, this

After-a-day-off mood

Tv treat coming up on Monday April 13th: @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social are screening the 1980 "Play for Today" time travel drama 'The Flipside of Dominic Hyde'

And if you gaze long into an abyss…

Oh, Radio 4 Extra are repeating the 1997 adaptation of ‘’Up Against It’ next Saturday, the unused #JoeOrton script for the third #Beatles movie www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Gosh, not the episodes I was ever expecting! #DoctorWho www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Excellent film on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social tonight, with one of the most sympathetic portrayals of Sherlock Holmes

12 years today since I stopped drinking #soberlife

Oh, sounds like the Big L Fab 40 has started up again, from January 1965, on Oldies Project London

I never made a note of the date, but I think it’s about 40 years since I made this. It’s been around since then, including being on display at the National Science and Media Museum in 2013 #DoctorWho #TARDIS

Fake band 😆

Surprised to find this on my doormat today. I wasn’t expecting it until the release date of Jan 30th! #TheMonkees

Watched this in October. Fascinating to hear Merlin talk about his mother

30th December is also the birthday of both Mike Nesmith and Davy Jones so here's something brilliant to remember them by. I think I'll spend the day with The Monkees. youtu.be/JIbUab76qas?...

Whilst listening to @scarredforlife.bsky.social, about ghostly Victorian children, this comes up www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For anyone in need of some motivational words during these dark days before Christmas... #thewickerman #theleagueofgentlemen

@talkingpicturestv.bsky.social is that Davy Jones in Z-Cars? #TheMonkees

John Smith and the Common Men on Z-Cars on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social with extra Brian Blessed #DoctorWho

The new #DoctorWho Blu-ray set is worth getting simply for this: proper nostalgia 😆

"But soft! What light through yonder window... BRAKES!"

Wilding it this evening
