Go fuck yourself Ted

Absolutely SWAGGERING into work this morning

Thread! The pay-off is a belter

Yes, yes, new Davison & Fielding, special edition Warriors of the Deep, yada yada....THIS is what I'm most excited about on the Doctor Who Season 21 boxed set

"You *can* see the War; It's over there, between the Land and the Sea!" #DoctorWho

The gorgeous @mikeysmithuk.bsky.social joins Finish Big to discuss The Juggernauts, The Game & Dreamtime! The biggest question is - does his Davros sound like Zippy or George? youtu.be/KC5nG-HzaEg?...

Mad Men 4K

The Revenant 2: Tokyo Drift

Merry Christmas! Here’s a terrible Doctor Who story!

A rich, heady brew of sex, political detail, history, unknowable slathering horror, Gothic atmosphere and the absence left in the universe by the destruction of Gallifrey...but what will Joe & @onthetimelash.bsky.social make of it? podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

Appropriately, we recorded this on the Sabbath.

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

Die Hard Christmas discourse again is it?

Listening to Peter Capaldi's album again, and I reckon some of the lyrics to "Through the Cracks" would make a great Twelfth Doctor speech... open.spotify.com/track/4bmJKq...

The #DoctorWho Too Hot For TV advent calendar starts today. Everyday this month I'm joined by a different guest to talk about an annual story. My guest for Day 1 is @michaelmills.bsky.social www.buzzsprout.com/864883/episo...

Christmas is officially a go round ours. Now, time to dig out the good malt and celebrate St. Andrew's Day!

This is on the BBC Scotland channel and iPlayer tonight from 9pm, a trip back to the 80s and 90s in the company of cast, crew and creator of City Lights. A few rarely seen bits of archive, including clips from the pilot with Billy Greenlees as Chancer and no studio audience.

What kind of sick freak watched 1939's The Wizard of Oz and thought "hoo boy, the sexual chemistry between these two is OFF THE CHARTS"?

Trains are off this weekend, so I've been navigating Stockton and Thornaby by bus. Asked a bus driver to shout me at a certain stop so I could catch my bus to Darlington. He didn't. Once I stopped shouting and swearing on the cold wet street miles from home I retired to the nearest pub.

Starting Monday on Too Hot For TV.

Absolutely stinking day in Stockton, so I'm taking myself over to Teesside Park for Wake Up Dead Man. Feels like the perfect weather for it!

*It’s cold outside *Friends gather for a meal together *Everyone is thinking about a very special little baby *An important visitor comes in through the ventilation system Alien is a Christmas movie

My main takeaway from Christmas Karma is that Gary Barlow should be arrested. He could write "God bless us everyone" but Dickens couldn't write "see the boy inside the man and you will find the Christmas in his soul." Because he was a good writer.

Has anyone got any "break glass in case of emergency" bands or TV shows? Music or telly that doesn't just comfort you, it completely alters your mood? For me it's Talking Heads/David Byrne and Still Game.

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

I don't even care what the storyline is, I'm obsessed with these photos of Phil Mitchell in a wig on EastEnders

LIVE RIGHT NOW! : We're joined by @markdonaldson.bsky.social and @strangerscast.bsky.social's J.R. Southall for the final trial of the series, with The Vanquishers going before the court! But is it guilty or not guilty of crimes against #DoctorWho? The decision is yours! youtube.com/live/Ee15Pbp...

Donaldson V Southall LIVE in 20 minutes!

Hi, I'm Russell T Davies. The T stands for "Tovey Fucke a Fysh".

TONIGHT FROM 8PM! : @markdonaldson.bsky.social and @strangerscast.bsky.social’s J.R. Southall join us for the final trial of the series with The Vanquishers going before the court! But is it guilty or not guilty of crimes against #DoctorWho? The decision is yours… www.youtube.com/live/Ee15Pbp...

The Tom Baker waxwork chat is gold.

I'm not a "CHANGING THE SEA DEVILS TO HOMO AQUA IS WOKE GONE MAD" fan. I'm a "Homo refers to a genus of apes of which Homo Sapiens is part, so Aqua Sapiens would have been a more sensible name, but maybe Homo Aqua is another in-universe, human-applied misnomer and that's the point" fan. #DoctorWho

Returning to the Polis Box prosecution team to condemn The Vanquishers. However, it's been a very stressful week, I'm very tired and have a big chocolatey imperial stout, the ABV of which could down a Sontaran, so it could go either way...

I've had a shit day, 3 beers, and a cavalier attitude to credit card debt....

If you want to know where to find me at 8pm tomorrow evening, I'll be surrounded by Scottish fellas and immersed in Flux - and the whole thing will be live on the internet at the other end of this link. I might just choose Passenger. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee15...

Another stressful as fuck day saved by the magic of cinema. Tonight was the NT Live screening of David Ireland's The Fifth Step. Jack Lowden's jittery Luca and Martin Freeman's condescending John discuss addiction, sex, faith and masculinity. Big serious topics but man, is it funny.

NEW EPISODE: It's all been leading to this! On the new I Hate Doctor Who, I present the Tardis Team with 20th anniversary story: The Five Doctors. Will the survive the death zone? Will they still hate Doctor Who? Youtube: youtu.be/ImfdgTd0cCw?... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/5bYU...

It's been A Bit of a Week but the audience response to tonight's screening of Palestine 36 has really lifted my spirits. Exactly why I wanted to move into programming around this time 10 years ago.

Still time to get your thoughts on The Vanquishers to us ahead of the big series finale - we’re live with @markdonaldson.bsky.social and J.R. Southall from @strangerscast.bsky.social from 8pm on Friday!

From the mid 00s Danny Dyer carved his a career as the lad's football gangster dealer etc, so somebody reissued 2000's Borstal Boy ("in the tradition of Maurice") where he's a teenager running the Borstal theatre club with a crush on the main character, using this 'Deadliest Men' era pic of him.

A full set of Swarovski Minions will cost you £1130. That's it, that's the post.
