Sequel to one of my favourite serials. From the discussion it sounds a good read, so it’ll rise up the tottering pile along with some of the world building material. Audiobook readings and an interview with the editor.👍🏿 Play out is new to me. Prefer the classic original suggestion.🤭👏🏿 ❤️❤️➕🟦 🚶🏿‍♂️🎧📻

It’s another ‘name day’ again. Off to Almeida Theatre for #TheLineOfBeauty. Looking forward to an interesting evening. ❤️🎭

After evading Federation pursuit ships. Aka delivery window pushed back a couple of times. Down and safe. 👍🏿 ❤️🚀📺

Apple Music has finally let me download this. Enlivening a wet walk, it was worth the wait. A good concept for some spooky goings on.👏🏿 I’m behind with audio drama so there’s a lot clamouring for attention. This being relatively short deserves an exception. Borrowing a phrase; make it so.👍🏿 ❤️❤️➕🟦 🚶🏿‍♂️☔️🎧📻

Late to a late to the party episode, but it’s good getting input from two generations who haven’t seen the full 10 part version. Lots of positivity for the new edition.👏🏿 I like it for a good canter through. My biggest carp would be wanting full versions in colour too. 🤭👍🏿 #LotteryAmbitions ❤️❤️➕🟦 🚶🏿‍♂️🎧📻

After the fun Saturday at the BFI with a series 2/B celebration it’s appropriate to be back on the bus for more Blake’s 7 goodness. Another fab episode with facts and surprises.👍🏿 Nice to bounce around a different cosmos with an old classic. And this edition has present list ideas.👏🏿 🚀📺 🚶🏿‍♂️🎧📻

Terrific Saturday at the BFI watching #Blakes7 Redemption & Star One, plus fab panels about the making of the series and blu-ray additions. Fantastic to see the episodes looking/sounding terrific on the big screen.👍🏿 Also nice to meet more lovely people from the interweb for the first time.👏🏿 🚀📺

More big screen glory at the BFI for #Blake7. Saturday from 11am it’s up there on the South Bank screen.👏🏿 Plus a Q&A with Jan Chappell & Sally Knyvette.👍🏿 Series two/B is due on Blu-ray. Remastered eps, revised effects & new documentaries. It should be another fabulous time with some classic TV. 🥳🖊🚀📺

Car trip South today and some additional missing episodes talk entertaining me. My first listen to these in-depth looks at the missing serials. It’s a great podcast, wide ranging and detailed. 👏🏿 I shall return for more episodes along their timeline. 👍🏿 ❤️❤️➕🟦 🚙📻 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

Looking at an audio novel with a brief chat with the audio range editor. It’s followed by a substantial interview with the author, a self confessed fanboy. He brings a lot of insight.👍🏿 Ace reading too. 😇 Play out with some Swedish electropop.👏🏿 ❤️❤️➕🟦 🚶🏿‍♂️🎧📻

A villain that would benefit from big budget realisation brought to life by an intriguing, different sounding novel. Good readings and an interview with the writer.👍🏿 A look at the Selachian history is also informative. Play out with a Swedish rock riff.👏🏿 ❤️❤️➕🟦 🚶🏿‍♂️🎧📻

An episode of varying opinions now gets a book form review from the Trapsters. And I think it’s a thing of interest and entertainment whichever way your view may lie.👏🏿 EoD on TV is not as good as TLoRS and has flaws but I did enjoy big old chunks of it.👍🏿 ❤️❤️ ➕🟦 🚶🏿‍♂️🎧📻

Seasonal ghost story at the BFI booked. Looks interesting. Occasionally jittery on the spooky stuff so the lights may be on longer once home…..🤣 I watched the original version of The Haunting probably far too young. It had an impact.👍🏿 👻📺😳

Concluded the trip with a terrific interview with one of the most impressive directors of the last few years.👏🏿 A wide ranging chat from his earliest associations with the programme to last directorial input. Confirmations and stuff learnt. 👍🏿 Hope he returns at some point. ❤️❤️➕🟦 🚙📻

Another day, another podcast about the 9th Doctor & Rose tales. I think it’s a terrific audio with a great atmosphere to it. And there’s love for it here too, hurrah.👍🏿 Dissent can be fascinating, but I do like to find different ways to a similar viewpoint. ❤️❤️➕🟦 🚶🏿‍♂️🎧📻

It’s always fascinating to hear about Egyptological ideas and research. Having recently listened to the genesis of the fictional Erimem it seems a good idea to catch up a bit on a real life inspiration. 👍🏿 A nice little companion piece from Great Lives.👏🏿 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/g...

I’ve not done the full Erimem tales yet, so this overview discussion is fascinating.

1st Doctor, Ben & Polly ☑️. Echoes of Agatha Christie and space marines, ☑️☑️.

Play out with a sci-fi ish camp classic.👏🏿 ❤️❤️➕🟦 🚶🏿‍♂️🎧📻

Afternoon stroll with the original new Who pairing. It’s a nice play on a primal fear and a gruesome way to go.👍🏿 Christopher, Billie & Camille are on fine form and spark off the small guest cast.

As I was already in Bury I thought I’d pop over to @eastlancsrailway.bsky.social. What I didn’t realise was it is their Autumn Steam Gala this weekend. Hurrah for seeing a plethora of steam engines out and about. 🚂 An unexpected Brucie Bonus to the afternoon. 👏🏿 Great atmosphere. 👍🏿

Turns out listening to @finishedzine.bsky.social yesterday was a precursor and I met the charming and entertaining @paulmagrs.bsky.social and Jeremy at Waterstones, Bury. Got myself some new books and a couple of older ones signed. 💙📚✍🏻 A lovely Doctor Who centred start to the afternoon.👏🏿 ❤️❤️➕🟦 🚶🏿‍♂️🚙

Terrific joint conversation with the authors giving the political and the fun that can be mined from Doctor Who’s rich history. This sounds like a great read with some of the smaller characters that have graced and bolstered past stories. 👍🏿 Play out with a late disco banger. 👏🏿 ❤️❤️➕🟦 🚶🏿‍♂️🎧📻

Loved this Jodie CD, so great to catch up with their review on the previous podcast and now this fab interview with the writer.👍🏿 An interesting journey, fan to playwright.
