Today's charity shop - the book of The War Game, with stills from the film. After the BBC ban in 1965, I guess this would have been the only way to experienced it (bar a handful of cinema screenings) until the 1985 broadcast.

2-3 part stories every bank holiday/season: Christmas, NY, Easter, Summer, Halloween. The stories focus on building atmosphere and a sense of place, rather than chopping and changing every 5 mins. Adapt the best of the books/BF/comics Think Human Nature or The Satan Pit every few months..

I’m listening to this now and enjoying the anger so much.

Easily the angriest episode of The Hamster Book Club, we discuss a hugely problematic book and discuss how a range wasn't cancelled on the basis of its offensiveness from the off... @jonarnold.bsky.social @lshyphenj.bsky.social @dwcoverstory.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...

Lovely Luke Sims-Jenkins takes 90 minutes out of his day to celebrate and condemn his top and bottom ten Doctor Who books... @lshyphenj.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...

The TVM restoration is just stunning. Can the same team remaster all of Buffy now please?

I really liked The Mandolorian and Grogu. It was much weirder than I was expecting, in a good way. I loved the puppets and stop motion effects.

Phwoar

This is only the second time I've watched The Twin Dilemma, and I didn't remember this diva 🐸

were they, y'know...?

Mid 80s Doctor Who, where *everyone* talks like an insufferable nerd

Euston, we have a problem.

30 years ago today the #DoctorWho TV movie aired in the US! It's one of many topics in my history of the McGann era, #LeapofEighth, that debuted this week! Get yourself a copy from the publisher or straight from Amazon if you're outside the UK! tinyurl.com/Lo8-Telos tinyurl.com/Lo8-USAmazon

May have just stumbled onto something extremely rare and significant. Typing Coronation Street 1960 into Shutterstock, they have telesnaps via ITV of what is called Episode 1 of Coronation Street which looks to be the first dry run/pilot episode. This is incredible to see!

Porn titles are getting lazy.

Wes Streeting has the aura of someone who definitely goes out on week one of The Apprentice.

I still can't believe that they built the sets, made the costumes and cast the roles for one of Doctor Who's most sought-after missing episodes. And. Didn't. Remake. It. Top quality trolling.

The 1st episode of the Maran Chess Club came out a year ago today. Cheers to everyone who's listened & taken part. More to come, stay tooned.

Treated myself to a bit of 60s Dalek tat for the collection

Joe & Jon are in in love with this book, Luke likes it a lot but finds some faults, and Andrew (who hasn't read it before) isn't sure it is the book he wanted...plus can anyone help us sort out the mythology here? podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...

NEW ARTWORK! It's been 60 years since Dr. Who visited Tombstone for a dental emergency and what he got instead was a gunfight. Yeee-haw!! 🤠🐎 My group of artist friends wanted to make posters for The Gunfighters for its anniversary, so I had to join and make one! #DoctorWho #WilliamHartnell

More rankings of books as we add more top and bottoms to our lists -plus readings from Ken Moss, James Lark & Gareth Bowley. @dwcoverstory.bsky.social @lshyphenj.bsky.social @jonarnold.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...

I made a whole BBC TV series (2020) about the remarkable resilience of the people of Iran and their culture over centuries of threat and callous rule. You can watch it right here: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Parallels? Devil’s Planet versus The Traitors

The Loose Canon recon of The Daleks Master Plan really is excellent, considering that there were no Telesnaps to work with. It really zips along. Currently on Golden Death and loving it, especially Sara's Emma Peel moment, kicking the crap out of people.

Could DWM reassemble the original Time Team to tell us what they think of DMP 1&3 please? Thank you xoxoxo

Remember when they were all papped in the Galapagos together? My fan brain immediately thought they were filming a Bloodtide adaptation for the 40th 🤡

I had a lot of fun talking about this classic with @grumpy2eb.bsky.social!

The first four Doctor Who VHS tapes I owned. (Plus shout out to Pyramids and Dr Who and the Daleks taped off the telly)

Really chuffed to see the new fx on Doctor Who season 21 going down so well. Doing alternate fx can be quite controversial so it's nice to see all the positive feedback. Here's a thread with some fun BTS stuff for Warriors of the Deep. (SPOILERS AHEAD) 1/9

I was struggling to understand my autistic son - until we watched an episode of Doctor Who

From now on I will only eat from the demented face of Malcolm McDowell. (No I didn't buy this unhinged commemorative plate, beautiful as it is)

This is utterly jaw-dropping. A school that bans Atwood, Zadie Smith, Terry effing Pratchett and *literal George Orwell* is actively harming its pupils. www.indexoncensorship.org/2026/03/scho...

I felt like I was banging my head against a wall when Season 13 was released and people were telling me I was just nitpicking or that they couldn't see any difference. The more vocal people are in their polite criticism of this new approach the more chance we have of getting something done about it.

I've loyally purchased all the Doctor Who Blu-ray sets so far, but I won’t be buying any more. I collect them because I want the episodes in the best possible quality, but the now immediately obvious use of an AI ‘polish’ tool means these are a step down from the DVDs I already own…

While it's sad that the Buffy revival is cancelled, the original ending was perfect. None of the spin off continuations (comics, books, audible) have ever hit the mark for me. I just want Buffy to have enjoyed a happy life on her own terms!

Has something gone wrong with the Mission to the Unknown upload on YouTube? Everything looks too dark, you can't see a thing in some scenes!

Andrew, one of the earliest and loveliest contributors, a man whose opinion can floor us all and stand out in a crowd, gives us his (wonderfully both personal and controversial) top and bottom ten Doctor Who books. @dwcoverstory.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...
