Fascinating!

BREAKING: Peter Mandelson arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

I'd like to see that have a go at sleeping policemen.

I have just spent altogether far too much money on a show I've never seen. This is only half of them.

I thought I'd use some photos I took on a recent trip to Hound Tor to recreate the making of The Sontaran Experiment. Anything to distract me from the state of the world, the erosion of the BBC, reasoned arguments, you know, that kind of thing.

I know that's rather a lot to take in, so here's a single graphic with all of the TNG movie fonts. Next stop 2009, but that may have to wait until tomorrow!

Who can forget that time when the console from Wonder Woman's TARDIS took her into a parallel universe where the world was about to end?

STAR WARS (1977) the first movie in our beloved franchise almost exclusively used TRADE GOTHIC BOLD NO. 2. closest digital equivalent: TRADE GOTHIC LT BOLD NO. 2

We rarely get to see under the transporter pad. The plinth (and the rest of the transporter chamber) was originally made for Phase II.

Not in the market for VHS... But I mean...

Workprint of the Doctor Who 1996 TV movie - different opening naration, scenes minus the special effects, temporary voice over after the title sequence etc. Its interestings to see what changed and how things looked in progress. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XD8...

The actual story about the famous Groucho Marx letter, as told by his son.

On This Day in 1991, 'The Five Doctors' was reissued in paperback as a 'Blue Spine Reprint', with the previously released VHS cover artwork by Alister Pearson.

At about last... And it's time!

Bought a CD of Whalesong. It's good, but I didn't think much of the lyrics.

Just signed the deeds. I’ve bought a hotel!

Never happened at my schools. We were supposed to learn things, not watch films.

Listening to The Goon Show and have finally reached the best dialogue that they ever wrote! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLQhQSiDR-k

Not that it's a badge of honour. It's all shit. But we now live in a world where Britain has declared a prince no longer royal and arrested them for Epstein awfulness. While America declares presidents above the law and tells citizens to 'just move on'. Imagine telling George Washington this.

One of the things I find frustrating about sci-fi is that because of the American influence of it, all of the planets are called things like Zexion 5 and Danshassia 7. I’d call them things like ‘Nether Roundthorpe’ and ‘Spheresbury’. Gravity Bywell. Chalfont St Globeby. Bishop’s Goitre.

The most Hampstead news story ever written.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Bedford CC dealing with the bigots like an absolute boss.

I love this 7th Doctor trail! (And Paul McGann’s in it, too!)

“Saint Esther works with cripples, The sick and the abused, And then she says Tits, Bum and Farts, To keep them all amused” Every time I hear Bach’s Easter Passion, Victor Lewis-Smith’s lyrics always jump into my head.

2026 basically

Taken from this Australian magazine article promoting The Web Planet (sorry, this is the best scan of the article I have!)

Just browing t'internet looking for something else and suddenly came across Zarbi writer Bill Strutton's face, which I've never seen before.

RIP Tom Noonan. So great in Last Action Hero and Manhunter.

I have this one!

@portalrealm.bsky.social saw this and thought of you

“Saw III, that’s another one.”

Terrible title. Terrible trailer. But having seen the show, I know this will be FANTASTIC. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHWlvwu8t1w

Boing. Doing. Going. None of these words rhyme.

I am a fancy boy.

They come out, they sing, they dance, and then... This will blow you away. youtu.be/d1J3NLNWAPU?...

Ooh, never saw this publicity photo before.

On This Day in 1983, 'The Web of Fear' was reissued in paperback with new cover artwork by Andrew Skilleter.

I've reached that point in listening to The Goons (January 1957) that they've hit upon a new catchphrase/character which I love. There's this little voice - i think the name is Little Jim - who keeps saying "he's fallen in the water!" It's fantastic!

Threw this show on, just to see what it actually is, and... OLAF POOLEY!

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

The first Technicolor film. Amazingly it still exists, after 104 years.

"I found it wandering near Kettlewell's place." Announcing a private autograph signing session with actor Alec Linstead. Alec played Sgt. Osgood in The Dæmons, Arnold Jellicoe in Robot, and Arthur Stengos in Revelation of the Daleks. Full details: www.cygnusalpha.org/alec-linstea...

I support the introduction of bun day in other nations. Specifically this one!
