Trump spent three hours at hospital today doing ‘tests’. It should only have been 20 minutes, but the first test was really hard.

Trying to ignore the heat by watching Excalibur and soaking up the drizzle soaked ascetic while everyone tries to out bastard one another.

I was responsible for this (it was literally my idea while I was Product Manager for Media Playout at the BBC) and it is still my proudest achievement ever

Today Star Wars is 49 years old, Alien is 47 years old, Return of the Jedi is 43 years old, Last Crusade is 37 years old, and it’s Douglas Adams' death day aka Towel Day. If this day was any more geeky there’d be a news story about Batman seen playing Mario Kart humming the theme to Dr Who

In the beginning, the BlueSky is a Bubble takes were spaced by 24 weeks. Then 12, then 6, then every 2 weeks. The last one in Sydney was a week. In 4 days, we could be seeing a Bubble take every 8 hours, until they are coming every 4 minutes. Marshal, we should witness a double event within 7 days.

UK heatwave day two: The swans have melted. Tea keeps evaporating. Beer gardens are now just bastard enclosures. All the trains are a people soup. The pigeons are all stuck together. A 99 with a flake costs £600. Everywhere, chaos.

Someone, somewhere, has begun work on a cosplay of this.

"Sub Rosa", but not written by cowards.

Only 90s British kids will get this

Everything’s an antique in the future

One from the first season.

Spock's Brain could have been much worse if they went with the first draft.

Some older artwork of mine. Vila Restal always being secretly heroic behind everyone's backs. #Blakes7

Imagine inviting something that becomes so industry defining that the name of the company becomes a verb. Then imagine taking that product and making it unutterably useless. It's like if Hoover started to only sell vacuum cleaners that spewed sewage then exploded.

lmao

I know I've said it before but I absolutely adore the @bigfinish.bsky.social continuation of Star Cops. I grab the new ones whenever I can and always enjoy them. Well written, acted and the music is great, especially the theme. It'll make going back to the TV show jarring.

"Ah, Monsieur Poirot, the famous French detective." "I'M BELGIAN YOU MELT!*

What did one orphan say to the other? Robin, get in the Batmobile!

I'm more inclined to watch a film that casts Jared Leto but hides him to the point where he could literally be anyone, doesn't mention him in promotion, don't want him at the premiere and generally project that they would rather he wasn't there.

This is the best petty grievance I've seen EVEN ON HERE for a while.

RIP Michael Keating - a previously unpublished interview from a studio visit in August 2014 scifibulletin.com/uk-tv/blakes...

Imagine things being so bad that you've decided to try and trade off Jared Leto's popularity.

wip, maybe? #doctorwho #art

My favourite Blake’s 7 character. A lovely actor with a light touch.

It's another good one! A time travel film with some of the most 80s you've ever seen! Also, a criminally understanding Nancy Drew film!

@fubsyshabaroon.bsky.social This will be of interest as I champion the cause of our favourite time travelling fighter pilot.

Michael Keating. What an actor and what a man. It was my great pleasure to direct him more than once on audio for Big Finish. One of the funniest, smartest and most charming and self-deprecating of people. He will be so very missed. RIP lovely man

Saddened to see that we have lost Michael Keating. The only actor to have been in every single episode of Blake's 7. Vila was the everyman, not brave, not a believer in the cause, just someone who would rather be free then imprisoned and alive rather than dead. Wry humour his only shield. RIP

Possibly my favourite Blake's 7 episode is "Orbit", and that is pretty much all down to the way Keating plays Vila, and his sadness at *knowing* Avon would off him in a heartbeat if the dice fell that way.

I’ve read this, thoroughly enjoyed it. Interview with Adrian incoming on downthetubes on publication

Recently picked up a secondhand copy of the 1949 serial King of the Rocket Men which I have very fond memories of watching in the 90s when the BBC would inexplicably run 40s serials during the school holidays and I lapped them up.
