Out today!! Surely this is its final form?

Next week - the KLF book returns to its natural form as a yellow paperback, but it now includes the 'author's commentary' from the 10th anniversary hardback edition. Out July 17th! #KLF

1971. Berlin. Germany's most controversial actor returns with a performance about Jesus Christ. As the crowd turn on him, it's very nearly his last. Meanwhile 50 years later a housebound writer becomes fixated with footage of Klaus Kinski at his most manic. October 2025. tinyurl.com/45jss3hs

Just bought Salena Godden’s wonderful book - I own it already but somehow it looks different and worth having two - the person behind the OXFAM counter beamed and said “what a wonderful title”

I've put @johnhiggs.bsky.social KLF book with my FF books as there's a bit where he asks readers to skip a chapter depending on their beliefs. I would say that puts it in the "choose your own adventure" genre. Alas I will be missing out on Solstice at Stonehenge again, hopefully next year, finally

Very excited about Glastonbury Festival next week - I'll be talking to Robin Ince about Doctor Who on the Science Futures Laboratory Stage at 3pm on Thursday - just search for my name in the Glastonbury app!

My new book is available from me here: fruishon.co.uk Or from Lepus books: lepusbooks.co.uk/homepage/ali... Or the usual online providers:

It’s not over.

I’m at the Oh Me Oh My in Liverpool tonight talking Beatle people with the legend that is @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social Come along !

TONIGHT! Rough Trade Denmark St 5.30 - 7pm, me in conversation with David Keenan for the launch of my new 6 x LP/3xCD psych compilation 'Mr Norris Changes Brains'. Tickets here - dice.fm/partner/roug...

AI being constantly wrong is old hat now but this bit of crap Google just threw up made me laugh for being so completely at odds with reality.

Out Today! MR NORRIS CHANGES BRAINS... rare psych for the dancefloor, mastered superbly. . 6 x vinyl, 3 x CD. Bandcamp - richardnorris.bandcamp.com/album/mr-nor... or via this link eskimorecordings.ffm.to/mrnorris #psychedeliccompilations #eskimorecordings #psych #psychedelic #richardnorris

The best Doctor Who book I have read since THE WIFE IN SPACE.

Williamson’s Tunnels and the heritage centre were obviously a massive part/influence for our Flux series of Doctor Who. Would be amazing if the Who community shared this appeal widely and/or were able to help before this looming deadline. See below and please RT!

Tonight! Me and John Higgs live in Liverpool. Tix: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/john-higgs...

Toby's epic labour of love covering the original landmark television event, is available now! tenacrefilms.bigcartel.com/product/the-...

New pod out tomorrow in which we chat about all the Beatles news we've missed since we last spoke, how we've been Beatling on, and a bit of what's to come over the next few months. Series 4 out tomorrow! Subscribe here and tell your friends!: shows.acast.com/personalbeat...

My talk at the York Festival of Ideas was set to clash with the Dr Who series finale and cinema screenings, so we've gone back in time and it will be on Fri 30th instead - details are here yorkfestivalofideas.com/2025/calenda...

Exterminate! Regenerate! By @johnhiggs.bsky.social - what a wonderful work this is. It’s a social history of Britain as much as the story of an icon and the writers and actors responsible 👏👏

I'm selling my complete set of mostly pristine 8th #DoctorWho BBC Books on ebay - RTs appreciated. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/16750382...

I've read this book, and I recommend you read it too, not only for the interesting thoughts, but that it put me on a Doctor Who watch marathon so I could follow parts of it, as contrary to my "he's a massive nerd" vibes I'm bit of a fair weather Who fan who's watched the famous bits.

I'm talking to Julia Wheeler at the Stratford Literary Festival at 2pm on Sunday, come along! www.stratfordliteraryfestival.co.uk/events/john-...

Book 18: John Higgs - Exterminate! Regenerate! The Story Of Doctor Who For work, but in short, this is excellent achieving the near impossible task of accuracy in overview w. plenty of smart analysis/criticism, while navigating all the - often quite problematic - off camera stuff even-handedly.

Send all your best for Joe's plan to move to the UK and maybe write Doctor Who.

Just bumped into Peter Capaldi in Glasgow while listening to a chapter of @johnhiggs.bsky.social book about Peter Capaldi. Mentioned my Local Hero book and that it was a shame I couldn’t get him for it: “I was just a kid” he replied.

A Beltane night treat for you all… We're excited to announce our latest book, Penda's Fen: Scene by Scene, delving into the making and creative development of David Rudkin's classic television film, written by @greavesian.bsky.social. Pre-order now from tenacrefilms.bigcartel.com

Off to Belfast - my talk at the Deer's Head tomorrow at 2pm is listed as Sold Out, but how many people will be able to make it there past the marathon is anyone's guess! cqaf.com/john-higgs-e...

The Doctor Who quiz I wrote for the @johnhiggs.bsky.social event last week is now on my website. Test your Who knowledge! Let me know how you do… includes guest questions from @0tralala.bsky.social & Mark Morris! www.gpwigglesworth.co.uk/copy-of-crea...

It's Bandcamp Friday. Today is a good day to dive in. You'll find it all here - richardnorris.bandcamp.com/merch Loads of vinyl/CD/digital, plus, you can subscribe to my Bandcamp and get tons of back catalogue digital, CD and vinyl as part of your subscription... Happy Bandcamp Friday! :) RX

Loved this book, great to see it being republished in a handsome new edition

John Higgs's Octannual Manual #59 open.substack.com/pub/johnhigg... @johnhiggs.bsky.social talks about AI in a way AI never will! Highly recommended, as always!

It was a real joy to get to talk to Toby Hadoke about Doctor Who - and to force him to rewatch Amy's Choice open.spotify.com/episode/5etQ...

I'll be on the North Norfolk coast on Thursday, talking about Doctor Who in Wells-Next-the-Sea. If you're around there, come say hello! www.wellsmaltings.org.uk/events/exter...

🛸 My envy of @johnhiggs.bsky.social over his brilliant, magisterial history of #DoctorWho is so white-hot you could power a Tardis with it. ⏳ We had great fun talking time, space and related matters at @rnrbook-club.bsky.social – and now you can hear it too. 🌌 Listen linktr.ee/bunker_pod

“Tonight I am consumed by jealousy and hatred”. @nndroid.bsky.social & @johnhiggs.bsky.social discussed Exterminate! Regenerate! The Story of Doctor Who for us last week - Listen to this bonus episode of The Bunker podcast to hear what they discussed. 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/4PeU...
