“Great party, isn’t it?”

I’ve only just stumbled across the fantastic fact that Margaret Thatcher’s 1970s voice coach, who taught her to lower her voice and speak more resonantly, was none other than Catherine Fleming, who voiced the evil Animus in bonkers 1965 Doctor Who serial The Web Planet. The Zarbi’s not for turning!

“Jack Warner? Is that you? I demand you tell me what film you’re in!”

BREAKING: King Babar has issued a statement clarifying that he has never met President Trump. Also, he added emphatically, Babar and Bubba are spelt differently.

It's hard to adequately describe the pure, dizzying, joy of videos in a tin. You had to be there, man.

Just taking a moment to appreciate these wonderful pictures of Tom Baker with @louisejameson.bsky.social & friends at his MBE investiture this week. How does he get *more* like the Doctor the older he gets? #TomBaker MBE - it's about time.🧣🏅

Floor is lava dance. #TOTP

This is why we deserve extinction. #TOTP

The worse the song, the more aggressive the dancercise. #TOTP

Speak up! #TOTP

Still chasing that undeserved success for bland shite high. #TOTP

This counts as part of the WHONIVERSE. #TOTP

KEYTAR! #TOTP

Gotta pee dance. #TOTP

They had a second song? #TOTP

Did someone bet her she couldn't improvise a song on the spot, just before going on? #TOTP

Republica made me a Monarchista. #TOTP

Bet she's had loads of people say "We shall have fog by tea-time" to her and have no idea why. #TOTP

Not gonna lie, that's a quality pun title. #TOTP

This song keeps threatening to be Delilah. #TOTP

I bought my first mobile phone from that bloke down the market. Didn't work. #TOTP

This is what someone who hates ABBA, thinks ABBA is. #TOTP

Waterproofs on, it's Middlemiss. #TOTP

Malcolm Clarke's score for The Sea Devils is awesome. That's all, carry on.

Tough time for freelance artists and the amazingly talented @gailmyerscough.co.uk is having a tough week sales wise. Have a look at her wonderful site! I’d be very grateful (as would she!). Please share! Thank you! www.gailmyerscough.co.uk

Setting up a new laptop.

If Bluesky seems uncommonly funny and interesting this morning, sorry about that, I've been too busy to post.

The Prunella Scales Tesco ads are clearly a sequel to After Henry, in which Sarah has become her mum. Tragic but inevitable.

Any Doctor Who?

We can't get rid of the 'slow, sombre, piano version of a pop song on film trailer' cliche, until they've done "We All Stand Together".

Now listening to Chaos With Ed Miliband In The Backyard.

Lot of Trump discourse reminding me of Norm MacDonald's line, when it was said the worst thing about Bill Cosby was the hypocrisy. "I thought it was the raping."

Starmer is having the dullest leadership crisis in history. FFS, someone hand him a flaming cricket bat to abuse staff with or a baby to dangle out of a high window, anything to make this less tedious.

Well, personally, speaking as a homosexual *puts on raving pansy voice*

They should bring back Woolworths Xmas ads. Not Woolworth stores, just the Xmas ads.

The New Avengers blu-ray box set publicity is going hard.

Americans knew Trump was a self confessed serial sexual abuser and made him President. Then he was proven in court to have raped a woman and they made him President again. If the Epstein files reveal he’s a nonce as well, they’ll make him their Emperor.

I’ve decided to outlaw headlines.

Yeah, ‘The Hungry Earth’ / ‘Cold Blood’ struck me that way, too.

Nurse, Teacher, Screaming, Up The Khyber.

No, you got misty eyed! Loser!

Only answer, another Poldark reboot but with even more shirtlessness.

A quarter of a million has vanished from a bank vault... and so has the bank manager. 🧠 THE MIND OF MR J.G. REEDER (1971) 8:05pm #HughBurden in 'The Shadow Man' #TPTVsubtitles Featuring #ColinBaker #RonaldMagill

This is amazing.

JW 'Mr. Corbett's Ghost' (1987). A well made and effectively spooky, darkly comic, little tale. But, I'm sorry, Paul Scofield does not come close to capturing Ronnie's appearance or character.

I keep expecting to get bored of "film/TV show... but with Muppets!" posts, but nope, gets me every time.

Andrew Windsor to interview Emily Maitlis regarding her alleged abuse of young people.

There is a moment in all of Moore's post Moonraker films, where Bond stops and thinks "Was I really in space? No, I can't have been in space. Fuck me, I was, I was in fucking space!"
