One of precious few Norman actors still with us

Finally enjoying this after about 130 pages. Not sure if that's a recommendation, but stick with it

Reminds me of watching You Only Live Twice with my dad, who was very critical of the notion that Blofeld could have a fireplace in the centre of a volcano

"Ha! Yeah! Hershey's is rubbish! Not like good old British chocolate!" *Bites into a bar of Cadbury's palm oil*

Watched The Borderlands. Enjoyed it very much. Read some online criticism and took a shot every time I saw the word "Lovecraftian". Woke up three days later.

Meanwhile, in the UK:

Isn't that a Third Doctor quote?

Spent the day exploring ancient yew groves around Herefordshire. Some magnificent specimens, including this one in Coneygree Wood above Ledbury. Felt a strange magical thrill to see that someone has hung a horseshoe on it.

RIP Angela Pleasence. Was thinking only today I needed to rewatch Symptoms, and I shall now make it a priority.

A thoroughly relaxing thing to watch on a lunch break youtu.be/3olO-NxLZLA?...

"Still further [ghost] sightings include 'the top half of a woman sticking out of the hedge... however hard he pedalled she was always the same distance away from him'"

Next I want them to find the missing episodes of Doctor Who where the Mechanoids invade Ming dynasty China that my dad SWEARS he remembers

Wick Episcopi, because it's very satisfying to pronounce. 'Wick-uh-pisca-pee'

Didn't realise this was going to be a kind of buddy cop story about a Scotland Yard detective and an SS officer, but all the better for it.

Tim Roth's character in Peaky Blinders is the grandad of Trevor from Made in Britain

New on my blog today, I explore the decision to use a negative image effect to represent Dalek gun blasts in #DoctorWho, and the prior history and associations of this effect in television and film: thehiddenplanet.substack.com/p/negative-c...
