Of course, Brosnan is two different Bonds: the pre-title sequence of Goldeneye is set in 1986, between Moore and Dalton, and in this sequence he's playing his mooted 'Remington Steele'-era Bond, before his Dalton incarnation and then coming back as Brosnan. He's basically David Tennant.

Cheers, Frank! The TV studio space one was my favourite bit to write :)

Fab thread from Scott on Enemy of the World - he’s spot on.

After months of unforeseen technical days, vinyl copies of my play 'Patchwuff' have finally arrived. It stars Valerie Singleton, was a labour of love from start to finish, and will finally arriving with people next week.

I wouldn’t bother just for three Saturday nights. Not worth it.

Half-price Castrovalva!

Ebook currently half price too, in memory of Chris Bidmead.

Sad to hear of the death of Bidmead: having just finished writing a book on Castrovalva, I’ve gained a huge respect for what he managed to do in four episodes. Love his mathematically funereal take on #DoctorWho, and his ability to explore the TARDIS as a space machine as much as a time one.

I’ve just finished another excellent @blackarchive.co.uk book. I loved the tone, exploring complicated ideas in an accessible way. My personal highlight has to be page 61! Genuinely. A brilliant insight that I couldn’t get out of my head. Great work by @andreworton.bsky.social.

Brain: Can you put that hot tap on? Mouth: Can you put that top hat on?

Anyone know if RTD et al's Springhill and Revelations are knocking around anywhere?

We put the last couple of Archives (up to Castrovalva by @andreworton.bsky.social) and HEAD OF STATE, a Faction Paradox novel by @andrewhickey.500songs.com, on Lulu earlier this week, and hope to get everything we do up on there by the end of September.

True or False: Moonbase 3, Star Cops, Jupiter Moon and Red Dwarf all take place in the same fictional universe.

Write in the bath. You can't really get distracted.

Calling historians and researchers. The BBC Written Archives Centre has changed its access rules without consultation. This means an end to proper independent research into the BBC's rich history. 178 have already signed the open letter. Please join the campaign here: tinyurl.com/bbcwaccampaign

Our campaign for the continuation of independent access to the BBC Written Archive Centre is highlighted this morning by Vanessa Thorpe in The Observer. Her article, with excellent contributions from David Kynaston and Ian Greaves, outlines the issue with clarity. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Some hardback Targets for sale in Corbridge. Fury was £45, Invasion £95. Didn’t check Dominators price. At Corbridge Antiques Centre. #DoctorWho

I’m so frigging sick of right wing people and what they think of everything. Asylum seekers, transphobia, Israeli genocide, Brexit. The politics of evil. I wish they’d all just eff off and the media would stop banging on about their faux-concerns and we could just be fucking nice to each other

Just looking for the Rani at Blists Hill… #DoctorWho

I’m delighted to announce I’m providing inks and colours for the new #RobinofSherwood comic strip, due out later this year! The story features both Praed and Connery Robins - but you’ll have to buy it to find out why… www.indiegogo.com/projects/rob...

We never, ever talk about Cousin Drybeck.

Here's my rubbish IMDB page

May I suggest that Kane hasn't actually been on Iceworld for the 3000 years he claims but has rather been there for about 30yrs setting up a freezer centre business? 3000 years and his best idea is to con Sabalom Glitz to recover the Dragonfire *on his own*. Nah - go and boil your head. #DoctorWho

The publishers should really have reconsidered the opening sentence here, considering the author.

Love is the answer #DoctorWho www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Qyc...

Still think Rear Window would have been a better film if Raymond Burr wasn't a murderer and Jimmy Stewart was just a weird peeping tom busybody with a pair of binooculars and too much time on his hands.

I've just been listening to PATCHWUFF, the beautiful new audio play from @mulgraveaudio.bsky.social. A love letter to Bagpuss starring Valerie Singleton, with a soundtrack by Bagpuss composer Sandra Kerr, it's also a touching tale about ageing and memory loss. Pre-orders: mulgraveaudio.co.uk

Utterly bizarre moment in Paradise Towers 3: see that dark coloured thing sticking out of the wall and casting a shadow at mid-right? That's somebody's foot. Presumably the FX bloke opening the doors? #DoctorWho

If someone creates an "AI" version of me after my death and it doesn't tell them to fuck off and leave me in peace, it's not an accurate simulacrum.

Thinking about that time the Daleks kidnapped a child and plugged her into a battle computer to use her imagination to drive their warfare because even they knew that AI was shit #DoctorWho

Or: 3 in 24 prisoners born overseas. But 3 in 20 *people* were, so the prisoners are *less* than average. Also, that's not 'foreign'. Joanna Lumley isn't foreign. Or Freddie Mercury. Or Kipling. Or Tolkien. Or Orwell. Just shameful. ‪@thetimess.bsky.social‬ @mattdathan.bsky.social‬ Shame on you.
