Jon Pertwee arrives at the Met Gala with entourage.

Today's news: "Actor appears in film". My money's on Prancer: A Christmas Tale.

Not interested.

The Capture, series 3 episode 4. It was nice to see Maggie Service for all of three minutes, and not nice at all not to see Indira Varma this ep. I'm finally enjoying the twisty-turniness of this series. Could they pull off a fourth year and make it even more mental?

I know it's May the Fourth, but I hadn't realised football teams had wheeled out Star Wars characters.

Eric is surprised to see little Ern.

As the fourth of May nears its end, the herald arrives.

Happy Forth Bridge Day to all who celebrate!

Just finished watching The Wicker Man for the first time. The dirty tickets.

Just blocked a profile on Facebook for running a feature on comedy actress "Judy Tewson" (actually Keeping Up Appearances/Clarence star Josephine). There was no option on the block feedback for "getting basic facts like a name wrong".

Of course she did.

This door in The Dominators is clearly for the gents.

When we find out who's behind the "local energy advisor" spam calls, can we have a televised ritual burning?

And so the moral of the #EastEnders story is: burn furniture to magically cure your depression. And do it right behind a van, because that's bound to be safe.

I assume this is the guy that played Ollie Simpson in Brookside (and was in two episodes of Doctor Who).

I'm not 100% sure how I've done it (especially as I only click on them by genuine accident during a scroll), but most of my recommended Facebook reels are by gay porn actors. This is a boast, not a complaint.

Ooh, I've had my DWM a day early. @chriswilliams-dink.bsky.social , your "down the back of the sofa" has been reprinted in an article, I hope you've been paid!

Having a spare room tidy-up, and I had a few event programmes stored in a Doctor Who Official Convention 2012 tote bag, which disintegrated when I put the booklets back in. Goodbye cheap tat. Fortunately there were some official Doctor Who polythene bags which did hold together.

Watching Casualty. I can remember when it was the patients that had the problems.

Didn't even go with the "What's the 21st letter of the alphabet?" routine.

I mean, Trump's such a stranger to the truth, why should anyone believe this? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

'Donald, your word is "halfassination".'

Here's another totally mad idea: form policies to attract voters.

"Accidental" BBC News framing.

I'd rather shove drawing pins down my urethra.

Bluesky's unbeatable AI code is causing photos to vibrate in the Android app. At my age you're never sure at first if it's the phone or your eyes.

YouTube keeps serving me up the ad for Just for Men beard mascara. Even if I did have a beard, colouring it in would take me all day.

Cleared out an old work bag which had documents I'd brought home on the last day of a job I left nearly 10 years ago. All vital stuff, obviously.

"Chris Mason: Why this is bad news for Starmer" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just had the men from the water board round giving my meter a damn good replacing.

I hadn't realised we'd met Nigel's current wife Julie back in the day. This #EastEnders compilation also features #DoctorWho actress Caroline John. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5_a...

Bants are *definitely* not racist, sexist or ableist.

@cornypastiche.bsky.social Thought this little ghost thread might appeal to you with both the identity and name of the ghost.

Olly Robbins should have stuck to presenting spooky podcasts.

My main problem with the Ravi story in #EastEnders is I couldn't give a shiny shit about him or his rat wife and kids. Every problem they've faced has been coming for them.

Last week in EastEnders 2014, Lucy Beale was killed off. I have since watched the "what really happened" episode from the following year, but am now back in the aftermath, and Jane's wandering around like she didn't just dump Lucy's dead body in a park the previous night.

Katy Manning, our very own bellis perennis, everlasting beauty.

I was going for Macca. Thought I'd do a search to see if it had been done. Biggles got there first. 😁

I quite enjoyed the last couple of series of The Capture, but I've no fucking idea what they're on in the latest one.

In which Doctor Who is played by someone resulting from Matt Smith and Hugh Skinner being put in a pod from The Fly.

This afternoon, upstairs in the Ship & Mitre, 2-5pm. Daleks optional.

"Messy palaver" - so much journalism. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Daleks’ Master Plan is coming to Manchester. And so is Peter Purves. I’m already here but I’ll be introducing the episodes and hosting some brilliant panels giving the lowdown on their production and return. Tickets on sale soon: homemcr.org/whats-on/rec...

Nope. No idea.

My dad wanted an outlet to talk about his memories & projects, so we did a podcast! Relaxed chat & nostalgic meandering. If you wouldn’t mind giving it a nice rating and review, it would make him so pleased. 🙏 🍎 Apple: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/r... ✳️ Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/5Ql79bO...

One of our @merseywho.bsky.social lockdown quizzes gave contestants the opportunity to number the Trial cliffhangers, but looked like a "we love Colin Baker" collage. Which we do, of course.

The great Peter Howell @ph-incoming.bsky.social is now on BlueSky - give him a follow! Oo-ee-oo… #DoctorWho
