Watching The Savages (b/w) animation. The jewelled mirror acquired in episode one has been used in episode three AKA Chekhov’s Light Gun

Reached for ‘Les Structures Sonores’ Came out with ‘Les Objets Clong’

Think how much power this could create worldwide, and you can easily sell people on it by pointing out your car won't get rained or snowed on, and won't get so hot in Summer.

It's certainly going on my to-watch list.

I'm sorry what? As part of its 1987 rebrand British Rail's sectorised freight business Railfreight had its own branded After Eight mints and called them AFTER FREIGHT!?

The 20th birthday of @lewybodysociety.bsky.social seems a good day to say I'm running the Great North Run in September, with some @bigfinish.bsky.social chums, to raise money. I don't enjoy the actual running but a good cause is a good cause! ajbellgreatnorthrun2026.enthuse.com/pf/lisa-mcmu...

What's wrong baby? You haven't touched your peach piss n fart cake.

The #EverythingButTheGirl reissue campaign continues with more 2CD deluxe editions > bit.ly/4dUvILi

Susan Cooper’s Dark is Rising sequence, please and thank you. Ideally in the 90s on BBC VT with Tom Baker as Merriman, but otherwise now, rather than H—- P—-

'Part of The Eighteenth Day Of May’s appeal was the unconstrained way they approached their covers. There are six spread across this reissue, starting with Donovan’s ‘Oh Deed I Do’, penned by Bert Jansch.' Reissue of the Week: The Eighteenth Day Of May buff.ly/P9ROuiv

Fabulous live set from Joshua Burnside (if you’re feeling strong) drawing from his latest album youtu.be/Y6Ky6CAkJVA?...

No lies were told 🤷‍♀️

Susan Cooper would like a word.

Imagine if they repeated episodes of Dr WHO like #TOTP. The TV Movie and Dimensions in Time followed by Destiny of the Daleks Episode 1 and Survival Part 3.

Cabin Pressure is honestly one of the best British sitcoms of the 21st Century so far - if you haven't heard any of it yet, treat yerself

Today’s sad news has knocked me down more than I expected, but as well as being a marvellous actor, by all accounts as a person he was Gently Benevolent. But not like Mr Gently Benevolent.

This one stings. Loved him as Giles, his work on Rocky Horror, Nathan Wallace in Repo!, and loved to hate him as Rupert Mannion. Sometimes a lovely human is the perfect choice to play a perfect arsehole. Will share my favourite Anthony Head story below. Rest in peace. You were brilliant.

I will always love him as Herc in Cabin Pressure: (To Carolyn): "Oh hello. What a ridiculous dog!" "My dog is not ridiculous!" "Then whose dog is this?"

Oh, man, that's a punch in the gut. Fantastic actor, always a delight to see him in anything. RIP Anthony Head. Goodnight, Giles. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Make a Doctor Who title less scary Part One

It's 100 years to the day that the SS Bernice from Carnival of Monsters vanished

This episode is now available on BBC Sounds www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

‘I’m asking people to do a lot, but that’s what it means to be a human’: why one man made the first straight-to-VHS movie in 20 years

Some say you could take a still from any Doctor Who story and caption it, ‘Happy Pride Month’. Are they lion? …Happy Pride Month! (Should you feel like it, feel free to quote-skeet with a still from your own choice of Doctor Who story)

Mummy’s Pride.

An early day motion is live. You can check if your MP has signed it at edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo... If they have not, the “write the letter babes” site below provides guidance on how to write to them.

Backrooms TARDIS.

The Other Side: Only Connect is being repeated on BBC4 on Weds 17 June at 22:15, preceded by a Remembers... programme with producer W Stephen Gilbert. First repeat ever, possibly?

I think I wrote this Doctor Who story…

Campion / camp Ian

#doctorwho #pridemonth

Does anyone know of a good link to the dialogue between Leo and Melba in that utterly prophetic scene in the first episode of #TipToe? It really needs to go into a sermon...

Would two UK #DoctorWho fans discovering the classic era like some free DVDs? I've got 6 duplicates to shift, seems fair to split into 2 triple offerings. Yes the stories are on BBC Iplayer, but with these you also get loads of fun documentaries & commentaries. First come, first served.

My MP didn’t respond to me directly but did raise the issue in Parliament today. Write to your MPs.

CG has largely put a stop to actors in horror movies holding puppets up to their own faces screaming "aaaaahh get it off get it off" and I think that's too bad

A profile pic of a young David Morrissey crossed my feed on f—book. Made me think that One Summer might be an interesting piece to rewatch in light of Tip Toe…

Well this appears to be The Beatles' first ever appearance on Top Of The Pops, which only previously existed as mute 8mm footage made by pointing a camera at the TV. So that's very exciting. www.beatlesbible.com/1964/03/19/t...

Started 'Tip Toe' last night. Both gripped and chilled. RTD does love his "prophet" figures, doesn't he? Someone with a terrible vision of what will come to pass... It works though. Every time. Paul Rhys gave me shivers..

Just come home soaked from a downpour to find a lovely bundle of Targets from a pal on here — that’s filled some gaps on the shelves very nicely!

Russell T Davies says on BBC Radio 2 that there will be an announcement on Doctor Who in the next couple of weeks.

Happy suburban pride month

"So get out those handbags And dance round in a ring The DJs got things moving And he wants you to sing. Some come all you divas And move to the tune Till it's murder on the dance floor At the Disco Saloon"

*remake of Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon but instead of ‘blood on the sawdust’ Sophie Ellis-Bextor sings ‘it’s murder on the dance floor’ ‘at the Last Chance Saloon’*

Signal boosting for my cis friends in the UK who have the time and energy to be able to help. In case you're not aware, I'm trans|non-binary and have been challenged several times while using the bathroom appropriate to my physical body to the point where I avoid using one unless I absolutely must.

Trying to organise getting [Aged Person + Spouse] to hospital and back is starting to feel like that mind game with the goose, fox, bag of grain and a rowboat (that can only carry one passenger). Except both goose and fox don’t like the rowboat and want to argue endlessly about its limitations

This is the software they keep telling John Swinney to use in Scotland.

Very much enjoying You are Not Alone from @tenacrebooks.bsky.social (although I keep stopping to look up what various actor boyfriends looked like). A fascinating gay social history of TV Who featuring many people whose life stories have previously either been obscure or only coyly alluded to.
