Something I'd like to address. There's this idea that TQ+ folk are all 21 year-old art students... and all the 'normal' old school folk are LGB and entirely left behind and confused by 'pronouns'... Every talk I give, know who the most outspoken trans allies are? Queer folk in their 70s!!

So, I watched Zardoz this afternoon. 😳

If there was a Bafta award for cinema idents, the StudioCanal one would get my vote. Here's a little behind the scenes thing about this magical bit of cinema. It may surprise you! share.google/JPek0KXka29l...

Anyone know if the Mark Gatiss Ghost Stories for Christmas bluray is EVER going to be released?

Possibly the greatest thing I've ever seen.

I’m delighted and honoured to be a part of this event at @britishlibrary.bsky.social on Saturday 17th January. A day dedicated to David Bowie, with live music and very special guests. I’ll be in conversation with David’s producer and friend, the legendary Tony Visconti. events.bl.uk/events/david...

Richly deserved. Lost Boys and Fairies is a lovely thing. If you've not seen it, have tissues at the ready. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Just been reading this brilliant essay on my favourite Soft Cell album, This Last Night In Sodom. Great read. thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

Camp? Moi?

Remembering the great Ingrid Pitt, who died on this day in 2010. Here's my portrait of her as Countess Dracula. The original - glazed, mounted and framed - is available to buy from here: barnabyedwards.co.uk/shop/art-cul...

Enjoyed watching Cabin In The Woods this afternoon. Like if Robert Rodriguez had directed Scooby Doo.

This is fabulous!

Happy Birthday Doctor Who! 62 today and still as exciting, imaginative and heart warming as ever. The greatest show in the galaxy. 🔷️

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

The Wolves are Running... Ep 1 of ‘The Box of Delights’ was first broadcast on 21st November 1984. It remains one of my traditional preparations for Christmas - one episode every week until Christmas Eve as originally shown.

What's the matter hun? You haven't touched a drop of your blue space milk. #blakes7

Remembering feminist, writer and activist Audre Lorde, who died on this day in 1992. Here’s my pen and ink portrait of her. barnabyedwards.co.uk/shop/art-lgb...

Happy birthday to the wonderful Bonnie Greer. We once had lunch together and she was pure heaven - funny, warm, generous and intelligent. When we parted, she kissed me on the lips and hugged me. I felt blessed. Here’s my charcoal portrait of her. barnabyedwards.co.uk/shop/art-peo...

AI ‘artist’ creates portrait of King Charles. To no one’s surprise, it looks like a bad photo that a dog who’s eaten some putrid spaghetti has vomited all over. AI is incapable of art. It’s an expensive photocopier, nothing more. Stop pretending it can replace humans. www.bbc.com/newsround/ar...

Your change to ask Jesus how to make the perfect cheese scone.

I can't believe Daft Punk's One More Time is now 25 years old. The album Discovery completely blew my mind when it was released in 2001. One of the most effervescent bits of creativity I've ever heard. We need Daft Punk back in our lives now more than ever.

What a lovely thing this is! #DoctorWho

Glad to see the FX for Blake's 7 Series 2 going down so well. :)

This. 💯. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Dear Hilda Am having a good time, my tongue has not stopped.

I'm one of those cinema goers that sticks around and watches the credits. Boy, I'm glad I did when this beautiful piece, a mash up by Robbie Robertson of The Band, popped up over the closing credits for Scorsese's magnificent Shutter Island. youtube.com/watch?v=Pbs6...

Love this. Jonas Crabtree's mash up takes Debbie Harry's gorgeous Heart Of Glass vocal line (Blondie) and interpolates it with the second movement of the Violin Concerto by Philip Glass (geddit?). Shouldn't work but does! It's become a kind of 2nd theme for #traitors. youtube.com/watch?v=Kg0A...

The great Klaus Nomi. This striking Weimar influenced photograph, taken by Michael Halsband for Nomi's self titled debut album in 1980, borrows much from his appearance with David Bowie on Saturday Night Live in 1979. An extraordinary image of an extraordinary performer, taken from us far too soon.

There'll be Baftas. #Traitors

Disappointed to hear the Celebrity Traitors final's been shown elsewhere before we've had a chance to enjoy it. No spoilers from me but I understand it was won by Timmy Mallett.

Fox - Only You Can, Top Of The Pops 1975. Noosha Fox (real name Susan Traynor) had a wonderfully idiosyncratic vocal style which, undoubtedly, influenced a young Kate Bush. This was only about three years before the release of Wuthering Heights. youtube.com/watch?v=Y7Eb...

When the world feels grim, I remind myself that I’ve lived through the time of Alan Bennett, David Attenborough, Carl Sagan, Oliver Postgate, ABBA, the Goodies, Kate Bush, I Claudius, Doctor Who, David Bowie and sun-dried tomatoes, and I think good god, we’re the luckiest generation in history.

This is a stunning piece of art celebrating one hell of an incredible film! 💛

Well that was the funniest Four In A Bed I've ever seen. Always amazes me that people lose sight of the fact they're representing their business on national TV. I'll never be staying at The King's Arms, Bude Stratton. 😆

Great fun watching Young Frankenstein this afternoon. A gorgeous tribute to Universal's Frankenstein films, ravishingly designed and photographed, with a beautiful score from the great John Morris. Fabulous!

Raising a glass to anyone discovering Edge Of Darkness for the first time on BBC4 this evening. One of best bits of telly I know.

I love Hammer horror films but for me, the Amicus portmanteaus are where it's at. Happy Hallowe'en!

A reminder that the original Hallowe'en jack o' lanterns date back to 18th century Ireland if not earlier, were based on a shady boozy blacksmith called Stingy Jack who cheated the devil & was trapped between 2 worlds, were carved from turnips and looked like this:
