We’ve gone on Christmas holiday by mistake!

I'm watching The Runaway Bride for Christmas. It's blooming brilliant! #DoctorWho

There's a good few minutes of bad special effects in episode 5 of the BBC Box of Delights.

averageromp.com/production/t... Listened to these over the last two drives to work. Really splendid adaptations. Recommend. Very Christmassy. @jonnymorris.bsky.social @eddierobson.bsky.social @lisabowerman.bsky.social

I’ve never seen John Carpenter’s The Thing before but it has snow so it is a Christmas film. Can’t wait for them to take it back to an eccentric collector in his green cathedral #DoctorWho

Still struggling to find everyone on here! Appreciate re posts. #DoctorWho

I dreamed last night that Vladimir Putin kept peeing on my bathroom floor. Which is another reason to dislike him.

Last day to get historical thriller RITUAL OF FIRE for just 99p on Kindle in the UK: www.amazon.co.uk/Ritual-Fire-...

www.pdsa.org.uk/media/15783/... I don’t have many followers but if you could share the PDSA paw report which gives some insight into pets and their owners and the impact of the cost of living crisis. Please share far and wide! #pets #poverty #companions

My book Where We Stand, Where We fall is now up for pre-order. It's about the politics of Doctor Who, the themes the show keeps returning to over sixty years. I mentioned this last week, but now there's a proper post about it, with a 30% discount code from the publisher: lmmyles.com/2025/11/26/b...

My cartoon for this week's @newscientist.com

“To lose is to win and he who wins shall lose. It was all part of Rassilon's trap to find out who wanted immortality and put him out of the way. He knew very well that immortality was a curse, not a blessing.”

I dreamed the first episode of #TheWarBetweenTheLandAndTheSea last night. It was really good but I was confused by the bit where the Doctor got turned into a giant duck-billed platypus. The way they portrayed this on screen was by decorating a car with legs and a beak.

All of Time and Space #DoctorWho #Art

All the robots I could think of!

It’s not exactly feeling suicidal, but it is definitely suicide-adjacent. That feeling that you just want to run away from everything. Everything.

Flippin’ ‘eck. Feeling very sad right now. Depressed. Ever so slightly grim.

All my BRILLIANT Bandcamp stuff is “pay what you want” until midnight on Sunday. Audiobook (recommended), EPs and live shows! You can even have them all for free, if you want. Get them while you can. Normal price returns on Monday. THANK YOU! SPREAD THE WORD!! michaellegge.bandcamp.com/music

I'm giving away this signed 1st edition h/b of my new novel (it has a tiny jacket rip which means I wouldn't sell it) to one person who reposts this. You might like it if you like: Folkloric creatures Old records Intricate psychedelic stories The idea of circular time All shares much-appreciated.

I'm rewatching this series of #DoctorWho and wishing we had more of it.

A friend sent me a link to a wiki about a #DoctorWho fanzine that I contributed to in the late 80s. It was fairly sketchy on details so I’ve bulked it out a bit. fanlore.org/wiki/Chardis...

Watercolour Wednesday. Another of the Madame Poosauds exhibits.

Sunday lunchtime watercolour painting

Watching Stephen Colbert on YouTube. I cannot unsee that Red Dalek. Presumably monitoring free speech for Trump.

Great Britons! I’m doing a series of watercolours of actors/comedians whose work I love. With time I may even get better at it!

It all started going a bit wrong wheni was doing the red beret! #watercolour

Watercolour of erm well it’s supposed to be Jodie Whittaker. But she looks a bit mad.

Trying a bit of portrait watercolouring. David Calder as Nathan Spring from Star Cops.

If you see this, QTP with a title screen that’s iconic to you!

manoffat.wordpress.com/2025/09/04/s... It’s the return of my weight loss blog (and in there is a link to my old weight loss blog which was hilarious!)

www.imdb.com/title/tt8080... I tried this when it first came out and didn't like that it wasn't the version of Discworld in my head. But after a bit it became 'a' version of Discworld and then did a bit of multiversing around episode 6 and showed that all versions of Discworld are out there still.

Using one photo already on your phone what is the announcement tomorrow at 2?

@scalzi.com are all your novels as funny as ‘When the Moon Hits Your Eye’? I’m craving light relief at the moment.

I am reading @obversebooks.co.uk Black Archive on ‘The Ultimate Foe’ by @cooraysmith.bsky.social and am entertained by the discovery that JJ Chalmers off of the telly, whose name is a bit like JJ Chambers off of The Ultimate Foe, was born in December 1986 when the series was transmitted.

Reading the final story in Forgotten Lives 3 (from @obversebooks.co.uk edited by @purserhallard.com ) and I am reminded of the time I was reading Nine Ghosts by RH Malden and this definitely happened…

Just read ‘The Ruby and the Flame’ by @rubycosmos.bsky.social in the Forgotten Lives 3 anthology (from @obversebooks.co.uk ) It was great fun! A lively new companion for an old Doctor.

@signorfurioso.bsky.social I’ve just read your story ‘Who Needs Enemies’ from the Forgotten Lives 3 anthology @obversebooks.co.uk and thought it was great! An extremely fun romp!

Why did it take painting him to notice that Monty had a big M on his forehead?

There was an evil gremlin looking in at my living room window this morning. But when I looked again it was just the hedge. When I tried to take a photo it was gone. So maybe there was an evil gremlin? Here is an artist’s impression of it.

Best Star Trek Crew wrong answers only.

The Doctor fails to use an offensive sandwich, preferring to fight in a more gentlemanly manner.

Man it’s hot. And for some reason I smell of fish and chips.

Gareth Powell’s novel Future’s Edge is very good. Lovely bit of space opera with great characters.

When I was ill about 10 years ago (maybe more) I played the ZX Spectrum game 'Crusoe' by Automata to completion and made a map of it... subsequently when I've been ill since I have used the time to explore distant (computerised) places...
