ON THIS DAY... 19 years ago, The Sontaran Experiment was released on Region 2 DVD, including the story Built for War. #DoctorWho

My Blake’s 7 rewatch of Series 1 (or Series A) continues with… Time Squad! Which sounds pretty magnificent! And after the quality of the previous 3 stories, this must be another good one, right?

New tour dates! It’s Walking to Leeds, 27th and 28th Feb! www.leedsplayhouse.org.uk/event/it-wal...

Here it is!! Our review of The War Games in Colour! Available wherever you get your Doctor Who podcasts! Even YouTube 👇

Way to make me feel old….. 😕

Had a lotta fun chatting with the very talented Mr Tim Foley @verbatimfoley.bsky.social on @whoc2c.bsky.social a few weeks back. If you haven’t heard the full interview yet, check it out right here 👇

I quite enjoyed Stargate Universe, what there was of it anyway. Didn’t really get on with the original series, but this was much more my cuppa tea.

Blake’s 7 series 2 blu ray out soon so now feels like a good time to catch up with series 1. I’ve watched this a few times over the years but this is my first time on shiny BluRay with new FX and cleaned AV. Given how bright & sharp the iconic intro looks (and sounds!), this is gonna be great!

Finished watching #AlienEarth last night and really enjoyed it! Lots of horror - loved the eye thing! - plenty of action and a good dose of ethical debate on the evolution of AI in relation to biological humanity. Plus its depiction of tech oligarchs felt chillingly relevant. Oh - And Mr Strawberry!

Catching up on #AlienEarth Only 2 eps in but so far so good. Stylish, nightmarish with a reasonably intriguing storyline & plenty of nods to the movies. Only thing annoying me so far is that the spaceship crashed into a major city VERY easily… 🤷‍♂️

There’s a point in Mass Effect 3 when your journal fills up with a ton of quests and you realise how huge the game is. You think you’ll never get to the end of it. But then, suddenly, weeks after losing yourself in one of the greatest sci-fi stories ever told, you see that it’s almost over 🥲

Knight Rider Battlestar Galactica (OG) Blake’s 7 Doctor Who (Keff McCulloch) Star Trek TNG Yes, nostalgia is playing a heavy bias here but I make no apologies

Today I considered buying Doctor Who Season 2, since I don’t have it yet. Trouble is I genuinely don’t think I want to watch it again. Not that there weren’t a few good stories in there, it’s just… I dunno… for £50 it’s a bit meh on the whole. I’m sure the completist in me will win out soon...

🌕NEW EPISODE!🌕 Geoff & Paul grab their name badges & shower caps and return to The Moonbase, where they face off against the relentless Cybermen in episodes 3 and 4 of this CLASSIC 2nd Doctor serial. Heated convos on AI plus listener comments! Check it out now! www.buzzsprout.com/1859919/epis...

Chris Bidmead was one of my heroes of Doctor Who. Season 18 was where I became a proper signed up DW fan and Chris’s blend of real science with high concept fantasy & sci-fi fired my imagination in a way that inspired me to open new doors in life and follow a career I never thought I’d have. RIP 😢

Woohoo! My latte ‘art’ is getting there! It’s the smallest victories that give me the greatest pleasure ☕️

1. Terror of the Zygons. Planet of Evil. Pyramids of Mars. The Android Invasion. The Brain of Morbius. The Seeds of Doom. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Um, Yeah… I’ve never been great at rankings and I love all these stories equally for different reasons.

Earlier, my random Bond Movie Selector proposed I watch Diamonds Are Forever. So I did. It’s utterly bonkers, makes very little sense and bears little resemblance to the novel. But it’s a lot of fun and I still love it!

It’s true! ‘The Moonbase’ is one of the very few classic Doctor Who stories I’m not very familiar with 👇

So it turned out that the next Sharpe novel to read was Sharpe’s Command, which is new. So it worked out well. But there are LOADS of inconsistencies. Eg: Sharpe is now a major, a promotion he doesn’t get until Sharpe’s Enemy in 2 books time, and someone who died a few books back is now alive??!

The random #JamesBond selector plumps for Dr No. Full of 60s chic and raw action, it’s one of my faves. Connery owns it from the outset and fully inhabits Bond. With Ursula Andress’ infamous introduction and so many moments that will endure for decades, Dr No is 100% iconic and great fun to watch!

The Exorcist. My mum let me watch it on VHS because she thought it was laugh out loud ridiculous, but at 11 years old it scared the absolute shit outta me. I couldn’t take my eyes off it though, and it freaked me out so much I still can’t listen to Tubular Bells without the Fear kicking in.

Last night’s random #JamesBond selector chose You Only Live Twice! Always enjoyed this as a kid. Whacky plot, nothing like the novel, and Blofeld’s cat appears & disappears between cuts like a quantum quandary. The whole climax depends on JB being granted permission to smoke a sneaky ciggy. Love it!

That was BRILLIANT!! Best #Superman movie since 1983!! The fun, the joy, the humour… it’s BACK!! 🎉🥳

I remember watching Live Aid in the day, but I don’t remember watching much of the gig in Philadelphia. Apart from this shot. #LiveAid

First photo for #Dune3 from Denis Villeneuve Filming has officially begun 🎬

Decided I’m gonna get back on the Richard Sharpe books and finish the series. It’s a bucket list thing. Trouble is it’s been so long that I can’t remember which was the last one I read … 🤔

We’ve been busy podcasting on @whoc2c.bsky.social First up is my little video diary of ComicCon London, followed by tonight’s release of an epic chat with @geoffcockwill.bsky.social and Al Dewar on Beep the Meep, The Terminator and … um… Avatar. 👇

Just finished reading ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’. What a great book! Really surprised and delighted by what I think is a fantastic example of Fleming at his absolute best.

“It is the end. But the Moment(?) has (not?) been prepared for” Did you catch our review of Wish World & The Reality War on @whoc2c.bsky.social? Available now on YouTube, Apple and all major podcast providers. If you want to listen, that is. No pressure 😀

I also love this desire path comic by Chaz Hutton (instachaaz on instagram) that demonstrates that we may attempt to deny our nature, but we will always ultimately be meanderthals

Okaaaay…. Wow… so… Doctor Who continues to surprise me, but is it just ‘surprise’ for its own sake? I’m glad this nonsense is over, yet I feel we could (and should) have seen so much more from the 15th Doctor. Seeing 13 again though - genuinely - that was emotional 🥲

Tomorrow… #DoctorWho

So if Bing says it's World Dracula Day, it must be World Dracula Day. Here's the story of my BBC adaptation and the exec who was conned by a rival producer into cancelling it stephengallagher.com/uncategorize...

Yesterday I went to my first MCM ComicCon. I met up with @geoffcockwill.bsky.social and @gallifreycustoms.bsky.social, queued for an hour to see an interactive promo for Alien Earth, stumbled across half a Dalek and then I bought a couple of hats. Enjoyed it! It was fun!
