She was my goddess and I loved her xxx

This is due out in the next week or so. My third in the series (at least one more to come). Lovely cover by the equally lovely @roberthammond.bsky.social

Awww lovely John Stapleton has gone. One of the nicest tv presenters I ever worked with. RIP

As times get weird, there's a Doctor Who audio drama from 2002 that I think about a lot called Neverland. In it the Doctor discovers that his own people, the Time Lords, used to have a method of execution called "the Oubliette of Eternity" which erases the convicted person from time completely.

The Sundance Kid was how I first saw him on film and adored him but it was as Bob Woodward in All the President's Men I realised what a damn good actor he was. RIP Mr Redford.

Sad to see that we've lost Stephen Luscombe, the original other half of Blancmange. RIP

I mean, it really doesnt get any better than this. Amazing. youtu.be/MG_npaLydKg?...

One of my fav Supertramp songs, showcasing Rick‘s great vocals. RIP Mr Davies youtu.be/9aykOwwRf-Q?...

Who knew it was possible to actually feel sorry for R*form but no one deserves Nadine …

Jeez Amazon will sell any old racist shite wont they www.amazon.co.uk/Purple-Print...

Whoop!!! Thank you @buriedtreasure.bsky.social for this gem that just plopped through the door!

Cadbury-coloured Daleks and shiny Ncuti TARDIS. Yaaay!

V b proud of this!

Phwoar! Thanks @cutawaycomics.bsky.social and @twilightstreets.bsky.social!

Oh no, not Terrance Stamp. How desperately sad. Amazing actor RIP

Farewell stuntman Ronnie Rondell, most famous for this fire stunt RIP

Met Biddy a few times back in the 80s. Terrifying and inspirational at the same time. She took no prisoners regarding people who failed but voraciously supported those who tried their best. Very sad. A true legend in the industry

Awww Ray Brooks, the boy with the knack for fighting Daleks and of course narrating Mr Benn amongst a gazillion other amazing credits. RIP

Had a fabby day at Beyond Tomorrow at Quad in Derby. Small and beautiful Tomorrow People event. Thanks to Jackie Clark and her amazing team for organising such a fun day

I’m going to be there too! (Trains willing)

Big tip of the hat to one of the worlds greatest satirists on his passing, the fantastic Tom Lehrer. I’m. Off to poison pigeons in the park in his honour. RIP

I think what’s fab about this (amongst the general fabbery of it happening at all) is the focus on the writers who (understandably in this medium) too often get sidelined so it often looks like the industry thinks story is unimportant

Superman is very very good and fun and well-cast. And has a fab doggy in it too

@garygillatt.bsky.social Happy birthday!

Just saw that the amazing Gerald Harper passed away last week. I loved Hadleigh as a child, watched it every week and then rewatched it, and Gazette, when the DVDs were released. Then discovered Adam Adamant years later and whilst I'm not a huge fan of the series, he was brilliant in it.

Finally!

Oh that’s sad. Continuing the bad week for music, X-Files composer Mark Snow has passed. RIP

Waaaaay to make me feel old ... this was 47 years ago. I cant be that old ...

Oooh it’s got a placeholder on Amazon. Whoop. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/072235737...

SKY NEWS! 🌥️ Click https://bgfn.sh/skyblue to read more details about August's brand-new sequel audio drama starring Cloud Quinn and written by @twilightstreets.bsky.social​.

So excited to delve into this examination of one of my fav BBC dramas ever.

Lordy but Jarvis Cocker can command an audience cant he? He’s finally convinced me, @paulkirkley.bsky.social, to like Spike Island too! What a joy to see them back

RIP to an amazing voice, Rebekah del Rio 😢 youtu.be/vI8c3eSIkQY?...

I have quite a few soundtrack albums in my collection. The number that have the name Lalo Schifrin on the spine is … a lot. Obviously Mission Impossible remains the greatest but I love his THX 1138 music and his opening theme for Planet of the Apes is magnificent. RIP maestro

Stacy and Ssard are on their honeymoon in this! obversebooks.co.uk/product/part...

Pretty boyz …

Oh Frederick Forsythe’s gone. Loved Day of the Jackal and Odessa File as a teenager. RIP a great writer.

This is a work of an insane genius www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRMh...

I first met the lovely Prentis Hancock when I was 13. He came in for a guest stint for a week on Famous Five And we spent many hours talking Doctor Who and Space 1999. We always stayed in touch. He was immensely proud of his career and always very self-deprecating. A wonderful man RIP sir x

Oooooh

Quite possibly my favouritist original fiction book wot I haz wroted in many years. Probably more of “me” in this than I’d like to admit. Huge thanks to @scifibulletin.bsky.social for lovely editing and @roberthammond.bsky.social for this perfect cover

Oh no Peter David. 😢 RIP

So sad to see Alan Yentob has left us. I got to know him back in the 80s when I worked in BBC Press and Publicity and frequently chatted to him about promoting his various documentaries. Hugely smart and funny and kind man. RIP

A few months later than originally promised but worth the wait. A special edition of one of my all time favourite albums ever. Cannot wait to explore this

Done. Please sign and pass on if you write things for a living

Huzzah for Scott!

My wonderful chum Simon has had his first Doctor Who book published now. And it’s really rather wonderful! Highly recommended.

Had the greatest honour interviewing Jean Marsh at her first UK and years later US Doctor Who conventions (both times talked UpDown, House/Elliot and Oz more than DW). Amazing lady, with a wonderful career and life. Charm, eloquence and a dark sense of humour, utterly loved spending time with her.
