Reminder to come see Doctor Who & The Ark at Riverside on October 4th with @themindrobber.bsky.social We have discovered New Facts about TARDIS floors, the Monoid Statue and the Two-Headed Zebra 🦓 riversidestudios.co.uk/see-and-do/d...

Riverside screening of The Ark! Three weeks to go! Lots of new facts uncovered! Book now!

The last of this week's Cyberman portraits, from The Invasion (1968). Rendered in #Blender3D

Since life on Mars is in the news, here’s a graphic I did to illustrate the incredibly compact system of Trappist 1. This shows the relative sizes each planet would appear in the sky, if standing on the 3rd planet (tho they’d never appear at once like this). Panspermia would be very easy here.

I'll be posting a Cyberman portrait every day this week! Starting with The Tenth Planet, this is a collaboration with @themindrobber.bsky.social who did most of the sculpting work. Rendered in #Blender3D

Amazingly, I can go to this (and will). This is a great format for watching old Who - individual episodes separated by 5-10 minutes of discussion and listing things to watch out for. And watching along with fellow fans is always lovely.

Special stuff Mr Briss

Do I have any followers who A) are in the north west UK and 2) enjoy an escape room? 🧩🕵️‍♂️

Cleaning a whiteboard just now and it unlocked a memory that we had a teacher would occasionally colour in the whole blackboard in solid chalk and then rub it off as they claimed it sort of “reset” the board 🤷‍♂️

I saw this yesterday and some Googling suggests it could be rare and maybe totally unheard of in my area? This was on the Wirral, if there’s any bug people who may be interested. Or I could have totally got the wrong end of the stick.

For sale: Dr Who and the Dalek’s collectors edition 4K blu ray with the special coin and posters! ebay.us/m/9M1N7T

Inset day for the kids so we spent the afternoon at the diabolically ingenious @westkirbyescape.bsky.social. There was one bit where I was quite clever. “No you weren’t, that was so obvious,” I am told.

I’ve got so many opinions on dinosaurs. Has there been a SW Dino pod?

Join @mrpaulmorris.bsky.social, @gswrites.bsky.social, @brickpandorica.bsky.social, @richardjsmith.bsky.social and special guest @themindrobber.bsky.social as we chat about 13th #DoctorWho story Fugitive of the Judoon. It's not the Doctor you were expecting. somethingwho.podbean.com/e/episode-11...

Five (yes 5) panelists: @themindrobber.bsky.social, @mrpaulmorris.bsky.social, @gswrites.bsky.social, @brickpandorica.bsky.social & @richardjsmith.bsky.social on Something Who #podcast Ep115, looking at #DoctorWho The Ultimate Foe, from Trial of a Timelord. somethingwho.podbean.com/e/episode-11...

If you want to hear more about this epic moment in the history of #DoctorWho, listen to the latest episode of @somethingwho.bsky.social #podcast. somethingwho.podbean.com/e/episode-11...

Friend of the group, artist and Dalek63-88 guru Gav Rymill @themindrobber.bsky.social runs a new escape room on the Wirral, which a few of us tried out last week. It's great fun, and although tricky, we managed to get out in record time! Do pop along if you can. @westkirbyescape.bsky.social

So, what is with The Moon Stations in Dalek Invasion Of Earth? Craddock assumes that the Doctor and Ian have just popped down from one in the middle of an invasion. So.... The Daleks left them untouched? There's still some sort of shuttle service? Is that where the apples come from?

The second tin plate poster for Hachette's build-a-Dalek magazine! This one was especially fun, Genesis being a particular favourite of mine. I've always wanted to do a poster for it. #doctorwho #daleks #posterdesign

The last of these three tin plate posters for Hachette. Dalek Sec and the Cult of Skaro from Army of Ghosts! #doctorwho #daleks #posterdesign

🎟️ Daleks at Riverside 🎟️ 🎞️ This Saturday! 🎞️ Just us for an epic screening of unrestored film prints. Exactly as they were returned to the archives! See the fake 2D TARDIS set on the big screen with bonus facts from me and @gossjam.bsky.social Book now! riversidestudios.co.uk/see-and-do/d...

Well I had fun. 🫡 Did you spot me?

Cybermen incoming! I rendered lots of Cybermen for this new bookazine. Lots of writing by @0tralala.bsky.social and @themindrobber.bsky.social (who also sculpted some Cybermen!). Was really fun to work on. www.panini.co.uk/shp_gbr_en/d...

Oh, and a very, very small piece of advice for people like me who like to be 100% spoiler-free… don’t read the end credits while you’re waiting for the post-credits. 🤦‍♂️

Just went to the pictures. Had a fantastic time! 🦸🏼‍♂️💥 More Thunderbolts* please

Reminder! ⬇️ Tickets going on sale imminently! 🎟️ #westkirby #wirral

The more you look at this AI generated movie quiz, the worse it gets! The faces! The numbering! The options!

BUT! The Dalek in the foyer has a real prop history and is connected to Liz Sladen!

We’ve already sold a third of the tickets that we sold last time! 🎉 Riverside Studios is so intertwined with this Dr Who story and you can walk outside and see where the TARDIS landed and where the Dalek famously emerged from the Thames! Come and join us! riversidestudios.co.uk/see-and-do/d...

Ooh! This YouTuber has done a top ten of longest moments without dialogue! This can’t have been easy to research! Invasion of the Dinosaurs (which prompted my pondering) came in 3rd. youtu.be/eJ7rNabxcYg?...

Saturday 14th June. Come watch The Dalek İnvasion Of Earth on the big screen! All of it! In fizzy black & white! With pauses while a clever man tells you about cut flanges and spherical damage.

💥We’re back at Riverside!💥 DALEKS!! On Earth?!! Yes, it’s the WHOLE STORY, as recorded at Riverside. On the big screen at Riverside! In its original form as broadcast, with comments and awkward banter from me and @gossjam.bsky.social Book tickets now!! 🎟️ riversidestudios.co.uk/see-and-do/d...

Always great events. @themindrobber.bsky.social & @gossjam.bsky.social are excellent hosts and there's a warm and affectionate look at the material with lots of humour and great trivia. And invariably there's a good chat afterwards in the bar. A very fun fan gathering at a very reasonable price.

YESSS!! Gorgeous pictures by @antlamb.bsky.social (and a bit of modelling by me) and clever words by @0tralala.bsky.social (and a bit of input from me). Amazing stuff!

A short article by Jack Bell about William Hartnell's appearance in Crime of Passion. Bell seemed unaware of Hartnell's other post-Who roles prior to this one (Daily Mirror, 27th April 1970).

For 33 years I thought this guy’s name was “Air-cool Platini”. Today I found out his name is “Hercule.” 😅
