Watched the weather outside today and remembered that it’s April next week.

We're delighted to announce the launch of the Cathode Ray's Podcast! 📺️ Here's a trailer to introduce your hosts and what to expect when you join us at Ray's café. We're looking forward to sharing more telly with more people very soon! 🎧 Spotify tinyurl.com/mre46fm3 🎧 Apple tinyurl.com/39mvnffm

Morning, Ray! I'll have a podcast that compares three episodes from different TV shows - with a theme! - over cake and/or bacon please. Bangers, overlooked classics, oddities on the side. Fire up your cathodes!

🥳 I’ve had huge fun bringing Cathode Ray’s together with @quiteamess.bsky.social and chatting about various television shows. Excited to be nearly ready to share it with everyone!

So this weekend I’ve realised that The Awakening is… rather good? It’s a really different, fun story. The church set is superb, the locations look lovely. I like its weirdness. I remain slightly baffled why the Malus is doing things, but enjoy the rest enough not to care very much.

Pure love for this.

An excited bunch of us got together this week and had great fun sharing what we’re all most looking forward to seeing very soon!

Spending 48 hours with Fielding and as far as I’m concerned this giant glass is full of G&T and Janet is my kind of woman.

Manifesting next Saturday night www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Episode 3 of Warriors of the Deep’s Special Edition and I’ve just rewound *that* Myrka killing because it is truly incredibly horrifically beautiful 😍 As is the new Myrka!

My Doctor Who Season 21 set has arrived! So I’m spending my lunch break watching Peter Davison get wet.

The tribes of Britain c. 540 in the time of Gildas.

Something is flickering in the corner...

Post a pic/gif of who you wanted to be as a kid.

A letter referencing the Vintage Rock ‘n’ Roll Appreciation Society, highlighting that - even in 1972 - things weren’t as good as they used to be!

Poured a large gin and stuck on Callan ‘The Contract’, an episode I regularly return to. Callan takes the place of a would-be assassin and Michael Pennington guests as a younger assassin. There’s plenty of humour in the script, balanced with tense scenes including some enjoyable OB night shoots.

So, BlueSky, one of my passions is the study of tea in WW2. I need you to watch this oral history from three ex-tea ladies from the Bermondsey WVS. Because you could guess for ONE THOUSAND YEARS and you would not guess where it is going... #skystorians #history #tea

Watched The Daleks’ Master Plan ‘Day of Armageddon’ tonight and what a rush of excitement seeing this, knowing we all get to see more in just 3 weeks! 😁

Well, now… Callan Public Eye Crane United! The Rat Catchers A for Andromeda Codename The Gnomes of Dulwich Nice Time The Kennedy Everett Explosion

Think I might have won Mother’s Day. The flowers I got her vs the flowers my brother got her.

Disappointing for England, but that was one of the most entertaining games of the tournament. And most importantly, it feels like hope is not all lost. Also cracking performances this year from Ireland and, impressively, Scotland - high hopes for them next year. #M6N #FRAENG

I think I’m in shock. #FRAENG

Planned to take my mother out for a pre-Mother’s Day dinner tonight but she’s unwell, so we’ve postponed. The worst part of this is that it means I’m now staying in to watch England rugby. #FRAENG

Can’t tell you how delighted I am to have found local shops selling a plethora of ‘Mom’ cards. My Black Country mother has always been ‘me Mom’ but hasn’t had a Mother’s Day card with ‘Mom’ on since I made them at school.

Today’s lunchtime viewing is episode 3 of Gangsters. Now, if the BBC could get around to giving us a nice shiny beautiful Bluray release for the series’ 50th anniversary later this year, I would be extremely happy 😍

The full recreation of "Mission to the Unknown" is up on YouTube, and I'm going to be watching it a couple of days before the rediscovered episodes of "Masterplan" hit iPlayer. It's quite brilliant. Edward De Souza introduces it as well, which is a lovely bonus. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW8y...

Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day! 😍

Got a parking ticket, argued with the warden, and stormed off threatening to confidently fight it based on the terms and conditions, which is a disappointing insight into how dull my dreams have become.

Stood in the card aisle of Tesco tonight as a young girl turned to her brother and went “I love our mother, but I’m a student and no way am I paying £3.70 for a bloody card!”

As someone who started buying things from Network in 2015, I nonetheless heavily identify with this.

You from a different decade. 2012. Getting close to my hair at its longest - and peak waviness.

This is an important thread for anyone who cares, not only about archive research, but BBC accountability.

Today’s mug matches today’s reading.

Tonight’s viewing is Mike Leigh’s Nuts in May. I am willing on Candice Marie to get over her vegetarianism and shag Ray while Keith is busy logging the weather or hunting for unpasteurised milk.

I know all these people.

I’m full of cold but have bashed through today and finished off work. Now enjoying the beautiful Planet of Evil with an egg custard and the audio commentary. Tom: “I don’t think I have ever been as truly happy as I was then, with you, Elizabeth.” 🥹

Blech. How very, very unpleasant. Stay away from that Network site. Just... keep as far from it as possible.

Resurrection of Maurice Colbourne for a Lytton spinoff series.

Good morning to everyone except the binman who saw me get in my car, start the engine and wait for the lorry to move, then blocked me in with a bin. Only one on the street. I will never put my bin out at a convenient angle for you ever again.

Let’s see what this is all about then!

YOU’LL GET NO HELP FROM ME, SILURIAN, UNLESS…

Happy Myrka Day! I’m heading to the BFI to watch Warriors of the Deep, a story I have always enjoyed, so hopefully plenty of other people will too! Looking forward to being with @huskyteer.co.uk, who has never seen it before… I’ll be unzipping my head in the bar afterwards.
