64) The Empath - It’s pinning its hopes on oddness, like one of those Blakes 7s about Cally where everyone’s wearing robes in a black void. It’s a stage play with faux-moral dilemmas. Tedious, cheap, interminable, but inoffensive (though I gather the BBC didn’t like the violence!). #StarTrek

Awwww, if there'd been enough time to record this scene from "Frontier in Space" properly, we could have got a more conclusive farewell to Roger Delgado's Master, rather than the extremely confusing, cobbled-together and rushed climax that we ended up with... #DoctorWho

It’s August 1968 and DeForest Kelley is having a right go at the makers of Star Trek in the pages of America’s massive-selling TV Guide.

@unamccormack.bsky.social and @iammilliam.bsky.social I'm sure someone must have shared this already, but just incase they haven't: footage of Michael Powell filming scenes from the Earthsea Trilogy with students by way of teaching film. collections.dartmouth.edu/archive/obje...

IS IT TIME FOR MY PHOTO AGAIN

As part of my quest to explore the outer peripheries of SF movies I am currently watching 'H.G.Wells's The Shape of Things to Come' (1979). The only connection to H.G.Wells is the use of the letters h, g, w, e, l & s in the script. Effects and budget sub-'Doctor Who' of the time. My God it's awful.

"I heaved a sigh of relief, of course. As it happened, my train was announced a moment or two later, so I finished my coffee, stood up, picked up the newspaper, and underneath the newspaper..." "Yes?" "Were my biscuits." "What?" said Fenchurch.

THIRD DOCTOR is doing one of his boring 'moments of charm' speeches.... 😴 ".....'Yes, and that was the daisiest daisy I'd ever seen....' isn't that LOVELY, Jo..? JO: No, you just used ChatGPT to write it! Dr: Erm....no I didn't..... JO: Yes you DID, I saw you looking at your phone!

Doctor Who – The Ark In Space For Philip Hinchcliffe’s Feast Day, this began Hinchcliffe-Holmes’ “Let’s frighten the little buggers to death” era I was one of those little buggers. This enthralled me with my first recurring nightmare! “It’s almost too horrible to think about.” #HalloweenWho
